● Lasers generate a highly concentrated beam of light that may
cause injury if improperly used. To protect the patient and the
operating personnel, the entire laser and the appropriate
delivery system operator manuals, including all Safety and
Regulatory sections, should be carefully read and
comprehended before operation.
● Do not use the delivery system if the aiming beam is set to
high intensity and is weak or not visible; the fiber optic cable
may be damaged. A damaged fiber optic cable may cause
accidental laser exposure or injury to the treatment room
personnel or patient, and/or fire in the treatment room.
● Before using the laser, always verify that the displays on the
laser console are properly working.
