2.6.2 Mirrored Reflection
Ensure that there are no reflective objects in the area of the laser beam, because this may lead to
dangerous mirrored reflections.
WARNING!
Reflective objects (like high-gloss polished metal surfaces) in the area of the
laser beam may lead to dangerous mirrored reflections.
2.6.3 Ablation Products
With the laser beam the cornea is re-shaped by ablating a small amount of tissue with each laser
pulse. To reduce influence of the plume on subsequent laser pulses, the particle aspiration
system or plume evacuation system remove particles and emerging plumes from the surgical
plane (refer to chapters 4.10 Particle Aspiration System and 4.11 Plume Evacuation System).
The aspiration system blows the plume from the treatment area, but is not designed to remove
the entire plume.
WARNING!
Laser plume may contain tissue particles.
Due to clinical standards it’s recommended to wear a surgical mask.
Several studies, however, have shown that the risk of infection caused by the plume is very low.
