Surgical Laser Unit Limax
1.3
Intended Use
®
The Limax
60 is a surgical laser device operating on the basis of a diode-pumped Nd:YAG
laser. It is intended to be used for treating biological tissue in the form of
hyperthermia
cutting
coagulating
vaporization
To this end, the electric energy input from the supply system is converted into infrared laser
light that is subsequently used for the above-mentioned surgical applications.
The safe surgical use of laser light requires users to be fully familiar with the respective
techniques and forms of applications.
The surgical laser may only be operated in medically used rooms specifically marked as "laser
rooms"!
The operator may operate the device only if an on-site functional test has previously been
performed by Gebrüder Martin or a person authorized by Gebrüder Martin. In addition, a
responsible person designated by the operator must have been instructed in the proper
handling, application and operation of the unit, as well as in its permissible combination with
other medical devices, objects and accessories. This duly instructed officer shall subsequently
be responsible for familiarizing the operator's staff with the unit as the need arises.
We recommend documenting all user instructions in a medical device logbook. A copy of the
logbook is available from Gebrüder Martin.
