1.3.3 Applicable Standards and Directives
Polytec instruments generally comply with the standards
IEC
and
EN 60825-1
and
US 21 CFR 1040.10
and
1040.11
respectively, except for deviations
pursuant to Laser Notice no. 50, dated 24 June 2007.
CDRH Compliance Statement
Polytec GmbH confirms that its laser products are certified to be fully
compliant with all applicable standards and regulations as set forth by the
United States of America's Health and Human Services (HHS), Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH) pursuant to 21 CFR 1040.10 for laser products.
1.3.4 Information on Laser Class 2 for PSV-500 Standard
The properties of laser light are different from those of conventional light
sources. Due to the low divergence, laser light is generally extremely intense.
When handling lasers, always take great care to make sure that the direct or
reflected beam of the lasers do not enter anyone's eyes.
The instrument is equipped with two visible (red) lasers as light sources: the
object laser (wavelength 633 nm) and the laser of the distance sensor
(geometry laser, wavelength 670 nm). Both laser beams are superimposed
directly on each other. Technical precautions have been taken to ensure that
at any time only one of the two laser beams is emitted.
•
The optical output power of the laser beam emitted from a scanning head
is less than 1 mW provided the equipment is used in the manner for which
it was intended. This means that the instrument conforms with
Laser
Class 2
. With laser class 2, it is usually assumed that eyes are protected
by prevention mechanisms including the blink reflex. This reaction offers
appropriate protection under reasonably foreseeable operating
conditions. This includes the use of optical instruments (magnifying
glasses or binoculars) for observing the laser beam. Under any operating
conditions, there is no risk to skin.
•
Do not attempt to open the housing of the instrument which contains the
laser unit as you will be exposed to a higher level of laser radiation (laser
class 3R) that is potentially hazardous.
•
If you use operating and adjusting devices or perform procedures other
than those specified here, this may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
