Laser System is in operation, restrict entry and limit
access to the laser room to those personnel both essential to the procedure
and well trained in laser safety precautions.

Make sure that all laser room personnel are familiar with the laser system
controls and know how to shut down the laser system instantly in an
emergency.
CAUTION!
The use of flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide and
oxygen should be avoided. The high temperature produced during normal use
of the laser equipment may ignite some materials, for example cotton or gauze
pads when saturated with oxygen. The solvents
of adhesives and flammable
solutions used for cleaning and
disinfecting should be allowed to evaporate
before the laser equipment is used. Attention should also be drawn to the danger
