2.4 Clinical Precautions for Laser Safety
Only practitioners who are thoroughly trained in laser operation procedures, safety
precautions and techniques should use
H1
units. A thorough understanding of the
material presented in this manual is highly recommended before any operation.
Before treatment, clinicians need to determine the clinical symptoms of patients,
analysis for appropriate treatment. Take full account of the risk of treatment and get
the patient's permission.
Before and during treatment, clinicians should remind patients of relevant matters
need attention and remind patients to pay attention to prevent safety risks from
distract.
If the patient has special needs, such as people with disabilities, the clinician should
assign at least one trained professional person in this manual to assist him/her
during the operation.
The laser can ignite non-metallic materials. All combustible materials must be
removed from the operation area or should be kept moist during the procedure. The
laser can ignite preparation solutions containing alcohol and/or acetone.
ļ DO NOT leave puddles of preparation solution in the operation area. Vapors may
build up under surgical drapes and create a safety hazard.
Laser treatment may result in inadvertent exposure to adjacent tissues.
Undue exposure can result in damage to the tissue, vessel perforation and
bleeding. The practitioner should always set the laser system for minimal
exposure to the patient. Optimal parameters for laser surgery may be
achieved by starting with the power as low as possible and increase each
parameter as necessary. Power levels affect precision of cut, rate of tissue
removal and thermal damage to adjacent tissues.
Avoid inadvertent laser firing. Turn the laser OFF with the power switch
when not in use for an extended period of time.
