withtheDHHSandisincompliancewithIEC825.
Theseproductscontaincomponentsthatcomplywithperformance
standardsthataresetbytheU.S.FoodandDrugadministration.This
meansthattheseproductsbelongtoaclassoflaserproductsthatdonot
emithazardouslaserradiation.Thisclassificationwasaccomplishedby
providingthenecessaryprotectivehousingsandscanningsafeguardsto
ensurethatlaserradiationisinaccessibleduringoperationoriswithin
Class1limits.Externalsafetyagencieshavereviewedtheseproductsand
haveobtainedapprovalstothelateststandardsastheyapplytothis
