Ergonomics
The height of the Vevo F2 Imaging System is not adjustable. Users who find standing at the system
l
uncomfortable may require an adjustable chair or stool.
Users may find hand-scanning with a transducer uncomfortable when used for long periods of time.
l
Users are advised to use the transducer mounting system if they experience discomfort.
Laser Safety
General
The Vevo LAZR-X laser cart uses a Class 4 laser, which is the highest and most dangerous
l
classification. When working with the laser, take precautions to minimize possible exposure to both
direct and reflected beams.
Do not alter the laser for any reason. Maintenance on the laser should only be performed by a
l
FUJIFILM VisualSonics Service Technician. If you modify the laser, you assume the risk that is
associated with a Class 4 laser.
Do not use the laser in a manner not specified by the manufacturer or by this manual.
l
For a complete listing of laser safety standards, FUJIFILM VisualSonics recommends reading the
l
American National Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers and implement necessary precautions (ANSI
Z136.1-1986). Contact the Laser Institute of America for more information.
Laser Safety
Always wear laser protective eyewear of sufficient optical density and suitable wavelength to protect
l
the eyes from the maximum energy produced. Direct eye contact with the laser beam can cause
permanent eye damage.
Diffuse and specular reflections from the main beam can cause severe eye and skin damage.
o
Infrared radiation can pass easily through the cornea into the retina, where it can cause
instant and permanent damage, or even blindness. Even small doses of exposure to
scattered radiation can be harmful.
Laser Safety Officers (LSOs) can use the following information to provide the required eye

Be sure that the light from the flashlamp is obscured from the eye, as it causes damage if viewed
l
directly.
Mark the imaging room well with warning signs when the laser is operating, and provide interlocks for
l
all doors.
