Blue LED
The blue LED in the scanner is classified as Risk Group 1 (RG1), indicating low risk
from optical radiation. During normal operation, the light emitted from the blue LED

To protect your eyes, do not stare directly at the light from the blue LED.
When using the blue LED for gel excision or observation, protect your eyes from
