Be careful when operating near the device.
For a correct positioning of the device, for the purpose of the photometric analysis,
specific laser pointers must be used.
Looking directly at the laser beam is not dangerous as long as the blink reflex is
maintained, which allows limiting the cornea exposure to a time below 0.25
seconds.
Taking medications or alcohol may delay the blink reflex response, exposing the
eye to irreversible damage.
Safety Measures:
•
Use laser protection glasses if you are undergoing treatment with medications.
•
Do not consume alcohol before or while using the device.
•
Do not look directly at the laser beam, not even while wearing protective glasses.
The accessible laser radiation is harmless to the eye as long as no optical tools
(e.g. magnifying glasses, lenses, telescopes) are used in front of the laser opening.
An optical tool positioned in front of the laser opening reduces the cross-section
of the laser beam, making the accessible radiation harmful to the eye.
Safety Measures:
•
Do not position any type of optical tool in front of the laser opening.
•
Do not point the laser beam towards people, especially the face and eyes
•
Do not point the laser beam towards reflecting surfaces.
•
If possible, cover or eliminate any possible reflecting surfaces near the laser beam.
The beam of a Class 2 laser product may cause: dazzle, flash blindness and
afterimages, particularly in poor ambient lighting conditions.
This may cause indirect consequences on general safety, which result in
temporary visual impairment or reactions of fear / surprise.
