Treatment Precautions
The excel HR should only be operated by qualified personnel who have received appropriate training. In
addition to the information provided in the Safety and Regulatory section of this manual, the following
safety precautions are recommended:
• Guard against accidental exposure to laser energy.
• Instruct all staff members to carefully aim the treatment beam only
at the targeted treatment
areas.
• Ensure that the patient and all staff personnel in the treatment room wear appropriate
protective
eyewear. If the patient cannot wear protective eyewear, fit the patient with opaque
eye protection that will completely block light to the eyes. The eyewear must provide
adequate protection from laser radiation of the wavelength being used. See the Eye Safety
section in the Maintenance chapter for protective eyewear requirements.
• Instruct all staff members and patients to never look directly at the laser light or reflective
surfaces, even when wearing proper protective eyewear
.
Never allow anyone near the system while the system is in use
without
proper protective eyewear. Unprotected laser exposure can
cause permanent eye damage.
