Never direct the laser beam towards any flammable material, e.g. paper
or plastics. They could catch fire due to the high temperatures produced
by the laser beam.
The unit is not suitable for use in the presence of anesthetics that are
flammable when in contact with air, oxygen or nitrogen monoxide.
Oxygen-saturated materials such as cotton wool can catch fire due to
high temperature that the unit reaches during operation. Label removers
and flammable solutions used for cleaning and disinfecting the
SiroLaser Blue should be allowed to evaporate before using the device.
Observe fire hazards caused by flammable gases.
Unintentional exposure to the laser radiation may lead to burns. This
risk can be reduced by surrounding the target area with moistened
sterile drapes or moistened gauze. These materials must meet the
requirements of laser surgery.
2.6
Nominal ocular hazard distance
The nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD) from the distal end of the
optical fiber is 1.5 m (1 sec viewing time).
2.7
Laser protective goggles
All persons present in the room e.g. patient, dentist, assistant must
always wear the appropriate laser protective goggles which are
delivered along with the SiroLaser Blue.
Before using the laser protective goggles, please read and observe the
instructions for use provided by the manufacturer and attached to the
goggles in the case. Make sure that the laser protective goggles:
● are not damaged
● conform to standard EN 207 with the following protection levels:
SiroLaser Blue
user goggles:
patient goggles:
● are suitable for the correct wavelengths (labeled on the goggles)
These instructions apply particularly when using goggles supplied from
an outside source that are not included in the scope of delivery of the
SiroLaser Blue.
Never use optical instruments such as microscopes, eye loupes or
magnifiers together with the original protective goggles. Otherwise
sufficient eye protection can no longer be ensured.
