2.5.2 Laser-induced fire hazard
WARNING
Because of the laser radiation of the devices
there is a risk of fire or explosion if the laser is
used in the presence of flammable materials, solutions or gases or in an envirement which
is enriched with oxygen.
The Users shou
ld take the following precautions in order to prevent fires caused by laser
radiation:
Please expose only the proposed body areas to laser emission
Please use non flammable substances for the preparation of the treatment and for the
on of the instruments directly before and during the treatment.
If it is not possible to avoid usage of solvents
such as alcohol or isopropyl alcohol
directly before and during the treatment, the vapour should be removed by aeration
before activation of the laser or at least wait for some time.
Please use non-flammable substances for anesthesia, if at all.
Avoid the use of oxidizing gases, e.g. nitrogen oxid (N2O) and
careful when using oxygen. Oxygen increases both the intensity and the extent of fire
Please keep a minimum of flammable materials in the treatment room only. If it is
necessary for the treatment to use flammable materials, please moisten these.
Keep clothes as far as possible away from the treatment zone.
Some materials,
which are saturated with oxygen (e.g. cotton), could be inflamed at
the high temperatures, which develop under the intended use of the laser.
Have always a small fire extinguisher and water ready in the treatment room
