Each device is manufactured in compliance with the provisions of Council Directive 93/42/EEC
(MDD) and 2007/47/CE concerning medical devices. Always observe the following precautions:
Warning
When disconnecting the optic fiber from the device, always cover the connector with the
special protection cap. Otherwise the unit may be permanently damaged. Make sure that no
dust or dirt can enter the connections of the optic system.
Caution
Any use of the controls or setting options in a manner other than the one described here may
lead to a dangerous exposure to radiation. Manufacturer is not responsible for damages
caused to the non-correct use of the device or to the disrespect of the instructions and caution
indicated in the present manual.
Caution
Never place your finger or any other objects in the optical connectors. This could cause
damage to the optical instrument.
Caution
Switch the device
OFF immediately in case of an emergency. To do this, press the “LASER
STOP” button below the touch screen on the front side of the control unit.
Warning
Observe all labels on the device.
Warning
Operation of this laser unit by unauthorized persons must be prohibited in order to prevent
incorrect or improper use. Laser equipment not in use must be protected against unauthorized
access. This can be achieved for example by switching off the laser unit after use, so that the
electronic access key must be entered prior to further operation.
Warning
Never direct the laser beam toward a person’s eye or thyroid gland. All persons present in the
room (patient, operator and assistant) must always wear the laser protective goggles delivered
along with the device.
Warning
Never use optical instruments such as microscopes, eye loupes or magnifiers together with the
original protective goggles. Otherwise sufficient eye protection can no longer be ensured.
Warning
Oxygen-saturated materials such as cotton wool can catch fire owing to the high temperature
that the unit reaches during operation. Label removers and flammable solutions used for
cleaning and disinfecting the device should be allowed to evaporate before using the device.
Observe fire hazards caused by flammable gases.
Warning
The unit is not suitable for use in the presence of anesthetics that are flammable when in
contact with air, oxygen or nitrogen monoxide.
