Electrical connection requirements
The device must be connected to the electrical system in compliance with electrical safety regulations.
The device can be supplied with a cable with different plugs (Nema, Shuko etc.) suitable with the electrical
standard requirements of the country where the laser system is going to be installed.
Warning: To avoid any risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains
with protective earth.
Temperature and humidity
Appropriate values of temperature and humidity are required for the proper device functioning. This Laser
Device has to operate in ambient condition according to the parameters in the Technical Specification Chapter.
Minimum space requirements
To ensure proper device ventilation there must be at least 50 cm of free space on both sides.
The Laser device can be easily moved from room to room. Make sure that adequate space and appropriate
electrical socket are available in the room. Place the device in such a way to have easy access when disconnecting
it.
Fire hazard
The laser radiation of this LASER device is able to melt, burn or vaporize almost all materials. The use of this
LASER device is limited to the applications specified in this manual.
Fire hazard can occur due to the nature of the laser treatment. The absorption of emitted laser energy, no matter
the duration, may raise the temperature of any material. This phenomenon is the basis of many useful medical
and surgical applications; it is also the reason why these applications often require precautions against the risk
of igniting combustible materials in and around the treatment area.
When this LASER device is used, the following precautions should be taken:
x Do not use any flammable substance, such as alcohol or acetone, in the preparation of the skin for treatment.
Use soap and water if necessary.
x Anaesthetics administered either by inhalation or topically must be approved as non-flammable.
x Use particular care in the use of oxygen, do not use the laser device in oxygen rich environment, as it may
lead to explosion.
x Avoid using combustible materials, such as gauze and drapes, in the treatment area. When required, these
materials must be made fire-retardant by keeping them moist with water. Clothing should be kept away from
the treatment area.
x Cotton wool and similar materials, when saturated with oxygen, can catch fire due to the high temperature
emitted by laser.
x Before using the laser, let solvents, glues or flammable solutions evaporate if they are used to clean or
disinfect.
x Attention: endogenous gases can catch fire or explode.
Emission of plume
Vapor/smoke plume
There is considerable concern about the biological plume created by electrocautery units, bonesaws and lasers.
Current medical literature recommends that a smoke evacuator and in-line filter can be used to capture this
plume. The plume should be regarded as a source of active biological material and possibly carcinogenic.
Warning: Laser plume may contain viable tissue particles.
