Treatment Precautions
Excel V should only be operated by qualified personnel who have received appropriate training. In
addition to the information provided in the Safety and Regulatory section, 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, be sure to fit the patient
with opaque eye protection that will completely block light to the eyes. The eyewear must
provide adequate protection from 532 nm and 1064 nm laser radiation. See the Eye Safety
section of 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.
WARNING
Never allow anyone near the system while the system is in use
without proper protective eyewear. Unprotected laser exposure
could cause permanent eye damage.
