4.5.5.1.
Installing the Eye
Safety Filter(s)
When using a LaserLink, a Lumenis slit lamp or Acculite delivery system,
you must install a compatible automatic or fixed eye safety filter onto the
slit lamp or operating microscope. The eye safety filter protects the
physician’s eyes from exposure to laser energy while looking through the
slit lamp or operating microscope.
If the eye safety filter is not properly connected to the Smart532 laser
system, or if the eye safety filter is not compatible with the system, an
error message will be displayed on the control panel.
Refer to the appropriate delivery system operator manual for detailed eye
safety filter installation instructions.
During treatment the eye safety filter must be attached to the slit
lamp or operating microscope. Failure to use an eye safety filter
could result in ocular injury. In addition some slit lamps and
microscopes require an auxiliary eye safety filter to protect
persons observing the procedure through an observation tube. To
determine if an auxiliary eye safety filter is required, review your
slit lamp or microscope operator’s manual or contact its
manufacturer.
