Optimas System Operator Manual
▪
For the laser, remote interlock is provided, which can be connected to the
treatment room doors, disabling laser output if the door is opened during a
procedure. In addition, compliance with ANSI Z1 36.3 and EN 60825-l requires
that laser safety signs be posted at all entrances whenever the laser is in use.
Compliance with IEC60601-2-57 requires that warning label from IR exposure be
posted at all entrances whenever the IPL is in use. Approved sign is provided with
each System along with protective eyewear.
▪
Additional eyewear or safety signs may be obtained from the manufacturer.
▪
Never look directly into the laser aperture at the distal end of the Handpiece,
even if you are wearing safety glasses. Serious eye injury or blindness could
result.
▪
Avoid directing the laser beam anywhere other than the calibration port or
intended treatment area. Stray laser light and reflection is always a potential
hazard and may cause serious injury.
▪
Do not treat eyebrows, eyelashes, or other areas within the bony area
surrounding the orbit.
▪
The light emitted by the laser or the IPL is capable of causing serious eye damage
or blindness. For maximum safety, metal eye goggles must be worn by the
patient for all facial treatments when laser is used.

Ocular Safety Considerations

▪
Identify the laser room clearly by posting approved safety signs in prominent
locations.
▪
Cover all windows to prevent laser light from escaping the laser room.
▪
Restrict entry to the treatment room when the laser or IPL is in use. Allow access
to those personnel both essential to the procedure and well trained in safety
issues.
▪
Never direct the laser beam at anything other than the calibration port or the
intended treatment site.
▪
Never look directly into the laser aperture at the distal end of the Handpiece.
▪
All persons in the treatment room must wear approved laser safety eyewear.

treatment room.

Do not attempt to remove the plastic shell protective covers on the Handpiece
which could allow exposure to high intensity laser light.
