2.3 Laser System Safety Features
The
H1
system provides the following safety features for both operator and patient:
The laser is only fired when the READY button is activated and when the footswitch is
stepped. The device is in STANDBY mode after the power switch is set to ON position.
READY button is to be activated to enable the footswitch. This is to remind the
operator that the laser is going to fire or emit, please wear the protective glasses.
Then, the laser will emit when the footswitch is enable or pressed.
2.3.2 Visible and audible lasing signals
Whenever the footswitch is pressed, an audible signal (high pitch buzzing) will sound.
A visible LASER FIRING icon will also appear on the screen to indicate that the laser is
emitting.
2.3.3 Password protection
The device requires a password input of six digits in order to enter the main menu.
2.3.4 Emergency shutdown button
An Emergency Shutdown Button (red round button) serves to turn off the laser of the
device immediately in an emergency. It should only be used in emergencies, that is,
when it is necessary to immediately stop the laser emission. After the emergency, the
button needs to turn clockwise to release out in order to be ready for next emergency.
2.3.5 Remote door interlock
The device is equipped with a Remote Door Interlock. The remote door interlock can
be set by the operator with the entrance door to the operation room. Once the remote
door interlock is installed and activated, the common practise is to have an indication
light on at the outside of the door for warning. Opening the door will shut down the
device. This is to avoid any laser hazard to the personnel who is entering. The
Remote Door Interlock is located and labeled on the left side of the device.
