NOTE-MH01-EN rev05
2.5 Working Area
This device is a laser of Class 4 and must be used in a specific working area defined and
delimited following the international standards IEC 60825-1.
IMPORTANT!
This device is certified to be used in the operating room
RULES OF ACCESS TO THE RESTRICTED AREA OF WORK
External staff and visitors should also:
· Be guided by staff
· Always wear laser goggles in the working area when the laser is switched on
· Be briefed by staff on the laser, electrical hazards and other risks associated with the
operation of the laser within the working area (the laser radiation, electric shock, etc.)
Admission is strictly prohibited if there is no operator in the working area
2.6 Eye and skin exposure
The laser beam emitted by MH01 can cause sight loss. The laser operates at different
wavelengths, visible and invisible. Any energy transmitted by the laser system that enters the
eye will be focused directly on the retina. Direct absorption of laser energy by the retina can
result in temporary clouded vision, retina lesion, long term scotoma and long term
photophobia.
A danger exists in any case of:
· Direct laser radiation
· Reflected laser radiation
Diffused laser radiation.
WARNING!
All the personnel present in the laser working area must wear all the protective
devices.
Use protective goggles with the following specifications according national
standard:
2100 I LB2 for laser source Ho:YAG at 2100 nm
In addition,
even if you wear goggles, never look directly into the laser beam.
IMPORTANT!
Within the range of the laser, every person must wear laser goggles.
Check the laser goggles for perfect condition before each use. The goggles must not be
mechanically damaged in any way
Before wearing goggles to make sure that the goggles cover glasses are in good condition.
The skin is generally able to withstand higher levels of laser radiation, but can also be burned to
a greater or lesser degree depending on the duration and intensity of exposure. If necessary,
wear suitable protective clothing.
