Laser-related fire hazard
WARNING:
A risk of fire and/or explosion exists when the LASER OUTPUT is used in
the presence of flammable materials, solutions or gases, or in an oxygen
enriched environment.
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. All laser safety glasses/goggles have a
specific wavelength range which is indicated on the lens or eyepiece. Care
must be taken to assure that the eye protection is correct to the appropriate
laser radiation. (Protective eyewear is marked with optical density >2 at
650nm and >5 at 980nm 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 exsits within
the enclosure.
DO NOT attempt repairs of this system. Major service and maintenance
should only be performed by a qualified S3 Service Technician.
CAUTION
Laser fume and/or plume may contain viable tissue particulates.
