Instrument safety systems

Safety system Effect
Key switch The laser cannot be switched on by unauthorised persons.
(1, Fig. 8) The user must remove the key after the treatment.
Remote interlock The ability to fire the laser can be made dependent on the
contact status of an external contact, for example on a door
(2, Fig. 9) closer. A Carl Zeiss Meditec authorised specialist will be
happy to assist, if you wish to connect the laser to a
remote interlock.
If the instrument is not connected to a remote interlock, a
shorting plug which bridges the respective contacts must
be inserted in the interlock socket (The device is delivered
with the shorting plug inserted.).
Monitoring of therapy Laser firing is automatically locked when the metered
beam energy energy is outside the pre-defined range.
Safety monitoring The electronic systems monitor various functions and
values. If any of these values are outside the permitted
range, the system prevents the laser from being fired.
LASER STOP button The LASER STOP button is intended for control of
(4, Fig. 8) unforeseeable hazardous situations. When this button is
pressed, the system goes into STANDBY mode and all
functions on the control unit are locked. To resume
operation, press the LASER STOP button again.
This lamp lights in READY mode and in STANDBY
