DANGER
The SPECTRA laser system uses near infrared laser beam
which is invisible to the naked eye. All persons in the operating
area must wear safety goggles at all times during the
procedure. Exposure to the laser beam may result in serious
injury including loss of eyesight. Goggles should protect eyes
against 532 nm and 1064 nm laser beam. The protective
eyewear should be pursuant to the ANSI standard.
Inappropriate or inadequate protection may cause damage to
the eyes. Even with safety goggles are worn, all users are
cautioned against the inherent risk of dealing with laser
devices.
Even if proper safety goggles are worn, looking directly into the laser
aperture of the handpiece could pose an eye hazard.
Never allow any type of liquid to enter the main body of the SPECTRA
laser system. This may lead to electrical shock.
The user should not clean the handpiece or repair this instrument while
electrical power is being supplied to this instrument.
WARNING
Persons other than service engineers authorized by Lutronic
Corporation should not attempt to remove the external cover or
disassemble the system. Exposure to dangerous laser beams,
high voltage or current generated by this system may occur.
All persons involved with the laser operation should wear goggles with
protection from 1064nm and 532nm laser beams (optical density of 5 or
higher) or glasses with side protection that is pursuant to the ANSI
standard. Simple goggles made of glass that do not have any safety
functions may be penetrated by the laser beam.
The laser beam may reflect off the smooth surfaces such as surgical
tools. Therefore, all tools irrelevant to the procedure should be moved
to a safe place before performing the procedure.
A direct or scattered ray of the 532nm and 1064nm laser may cause
unrecoverable damage to the retina as it comes in contact with eyes.
Although proper laser safety goggles are worn, all persons should not
look directly into the laser aperture of the handpiece while the main
power of the system is turned on.
DANGER
Never look directly into the laser aperture or at the end of the
handpiece when power is applied to the system. It could result
in serious eye injury and/or blindness even though laser safety
goggles are worn. Never direct the rays of laser beam to any
object other than necessary targets. Regardless of its color, the
laser beam reflected from the surface may cause damage at any
time.
Before using the laser, make sure all solvent, adhesives and cleaning
liquids have fully evaporated.
DANGER
Operator should be especially careful when using the laser
beam near flammable material. For instance, if the laser beam
hits an anesthetic, gaseous material such as nitric acids or
oxygen, or flammable material such as alcohol or cotton, it may
cause fire.
WARNING
One should never direct the rays of a laser beam at any target
other than skin. This may lead to ignition of the object.
To prevent unauthorized persons from using this system, the key should
be removed from the key switch and stored in a safe place after
performing a surgical procedure.
