Compact - Laser Series CL plus Instructions for use
2.4 Contraindications
The laser treatment has a low risk only. Different authors have controversial
positions because the laser is especially successful in applications where you for
forensic reasons might have concerns. However, if no sufficient tests are available,
some contraindications should be observed:
Direct irradiation of the open eye, it is essential to avoid!
In the area of open fontanelles or open skullcaps, as well as growth gaps in
childhood and adolescence should not be irradiated.
During pregnancy, the penetration of the abdominal area is to be avoided.
Attention! Sopme acupuncture points can trigger labour (Bl31, Bl32, Bl60, Bl67, Di4,
Di5, Gbl21, Gbl34, LG20, MP6)
Endocrine organs may not be treated!
For epileptics, the scalp region may not be treated.
In the literature, there are notes at the one side that tumors and malignant
skin diseases should not be treated, at the other side tumor pains and damages due
to radiation are a successful field of application. In the veterinary medicine there are
good results after laser penetration of tumors because the lymphatic jam and the
pain eases back.
In case of higher photosensibility, it is not allowed to penetrate (for all kinds
of dermatoses which react with formation of erythems or vesicles to small doses of
light).
Pacemakers cannot be affected by penetration with the cw- laser, so there
are no contraindications.
Too long therapy time
does not give better results,
but also no harmful side
effects. Exceptions are
penetrations in the scalp
region (more minutes), which
can cause headache, and
daily penetration with high
doses which can cause that
pain comes again.
