All personnel who are within the NOHD are considered to be in the controlled
area and shall wear eye protection with the appropriate optical density. Eyewear
must be resistant to physical damage and photo-bleaching. The minimum
optical density (OD) is 5 at 520 nm. For countries inside Europe and that comply
with EN 207, the eyewear must have a protection class of D LB6 at 520 nm.
NOTE
The type of eye protection recommended for the physician, the patient, and/or
treatment room personnel within the NHZ depends on the planned procedure and the
equipment required to perform that procedure.
An eye safety filter is provided with the Norlase Leaf SLA and is required for safe use.
Laser safety eyewear is not required by the physician who views the procedure through
the slit lamp eyepieces. All other personnel within the NHZ must wear laser safety
eyewear with the recommended optical density and protection wavelength.
Along with providing the appropriate safety eyewear, the following steps should be
taken to secure the controlled area:
1.
Treatment should be conducted in a dedicated, enclosed room.
2.
A warning sign should be placed on the outside of the treatment room door when
the laser is in use. The sign is intended to alert personnel before they enter the
controlled area.
3.
The treatment room door should be kept closed during treatment.
