The Valon is designed for use by qualied physicians only.
Ensure this by turning off the system and removing the key
at the end of the treatment.
8.6. Requirements for the treatment room
A risk of re and/or explosion exists when the laser output
is used in the presence of ammable materials solutions
or gases or in an oxygen enriched environment. The high
temperatures produced in normal use of the laser equip-
ment may ignite some materials for example cotton wool
when saturated with oxygen. The solvents of adhesives
and ammable solution used for cleaning and disinfectiong
should be allowed to evaporate before laser equipment is
used. Attention should also be drawn to the danger of igni-
tion of endogenous gases.
Reecting material near the laser can cause reection haz-
ards possibly harmful for your eyes. Before treatment make
sure all reective materials (mirrors, metal objects etc.) are
removed from the treatment area.
The treatment room temperature should not be over 30
degrees Celcius. High temperature can cause over heating
of the system
