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.magnifyingglasses,lenses,telescopes)areusedinfrontofthelaseropening.
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.
