The patient cannot have any influence over the operation and control of the TruScan 532
Single-Wavelength Laser. Depending on the type of surgery being performed, the
delivery unit being used, and the condition of the patient, the doctor must decide on the
modality of the Laser use and whether or not an assistant is required during the surgery.
As the laser system is designed to deliver the laser beam to heat the tissue, care must be
taken to avoid dangerous situations that could cause a fire or an explosion. The Laser
should never be fired in the direction of flammable gases or liquids which may be present
in the operating room.
