The
H1
diode laser system is safe and reliable when used by trained personnels who
take proper care in their operation.
The
H1
diode laser is a Class 4 laser system. Precautions should be taken
to avoid accidental exposure to both directed and reflected laser beams.
Severe eye or skin damage may be caused by diffused reflections as well as
speckle of the laser beam.
The laser beam from most of laser diodes is usually not visible to the
human eye, which can seriously damage retinal tissue.
DO NOT look directly into the laser beam or into the working end of the
optical fiber.
Reflected laser beam may also cause retinal damage.
Avoid aiming the laser beam in the direction of reflective surfaces.
DO NOT place any part of the human body in the direct line with the laser
beam. All personnel in the operation area, including the patient, must wear
eye protection. Contact lenses are not viable protection. Eye protection
must be specific to the wavelength in use(450-1470 nm). All laser safety
glasses/goggles have a specific wavelength range which is indicated on
lens or eyepiece. Care must be taken to assure that the eye protection
wears are correct to the appropriate laser radiation. (Protective eyewear is
marked with optical density at 450 -1470nm wavelength).
POST “LASER IN USE” IN THE OPERATION AREA.
Limit access to the operation area to personnel who are trained in the
principles of laser safety. The laser system has a door interlock that can be
activated if necessary.
DO NOT operate the laser system with any protective panels removed or
when the fiber delivery system is improperly connected.
DO NOT attempt to defeat this system interlock or otherwise access the
enclosures, as it is designed for your protection. High voltage exists within
the enclosure.
DO NOT attempt repairs of this system. Major service and maintenance
should only be performed by a qualified
H1
Service Technician.
