WARNING - 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.
WARNING - Before beginning an operative procedure, always verify that the
laser aiming and treatment beams are aligned, as instructed in the delivery
system operator manual. If the aiming and treatment beams are not aligned, do
not use the laser until alignment is corrected by a Lumenis-certified service
technician. Misalignment of aiming and treatment beams may result in laser
exposure to nontarget tissues and possible injury.
