Safety and Regulatory Compliance
To protect users and bystanders, these procedures must be followed:
n
Protect all skin surfaces (including the neck, ears, and hands). Before performing band
excision, the user and anyone near the imager must put on protective gear including
UV protective safety glasses, a face shield, lab coat, and gloves. A typical and
reasonable expectation of use is three operations per user a day for three minutes
each.
n
Bystanders without protective gear must stand at least 1.5 meters (five feet) away from
the imager and limit their exposure to no more than one hour per day.
Note: There is no exposure to UV radiation with the blue or white trays. No protective
gear is necessary when excising bands with these trays.
