*LMI Class 3B laser components do not incorporate these laser safety items. These items must be added and completed by customers
in their system design. For more information, see Class 3B Responsibilities below.
Class 3B Responsibilities
LMI Technologies has filed reports with the FDA to assist customers in achieving certification of laser
products. These reports can be referenced by an accession number, provided upon request. Detailed
descriptions of the safety items that must be added to the system design are listed below.
Remote Interlock
A remote interlock connection must be present in Class 3B laser systems. This permits remote switches
to be attached in serial with the keylock switch on the controls. The deactivation of any remote switches
must prevent power from being supplied to any lasers.
