2.5 Protecting the Eyes The SPECTRA laser system produces near infrared rays that are invisible to the naked eye. Users and patients must wear safety goggles at all times. Eye exposure, during procedures, to the laser beam may result in severe injury or even loss of eyesight. All persons involved with the laser operation should wear goggles with protection from 1064nm and 532nm laser beams (optical density of 5 or higher) or glasses with side protection that is pursuant to the ANSI standard. Simple goggles made of glass that do not have any safety functions may be penetrated by the laser beam. The laser beam may reflect off the smooth surfaces such as surgical tools. Therefore, all tools irrelevant to the procedure should be moved to a safe place before performing the procedure. A direct or scattered ray of the 532nm and 1064nm laser may cause unrecoverable damage to the retina as it comes in contact with eyes. Although proper laser safety goggles are worn, all persons should not look directly into the laser aperture of the handpiece while the main power of the system is turned on. Patients are also required to wear the proper eye protection.
DANGER Never look directly into the laser aperture or at the end of the handpiece when power is applied to the system. It could result in serious eye injury and/or blindness even though laser safety goggles are worn. Never direct the rays of laser beam to any object other than necessary targets. Regardless of its color, the laser beam reflected from the surface may cause damage at any time.

Chapter 7. Clinical Guidance 7.1 Overview The following clinical guide is compiled from reports and information provided by medical doctors with experience of using the SPECTRA laser system and from published clinical reports and professional literature.
NOTE Important factors to consider when deciding treatment parameters are wavelength, spot size and fluency. Larger spot sizes and higher fluency result in deeper penetration.
In summary, the overall effectiveness of a laser for specific indications depends on how well the wavelength is absorbed by the chromophore, how well and deeply the wavelength can penetrate the skin, the thermal relaxation time (TRT) of the target, pulse duration and its relative shortness compared to the target’s TRT, and the spot size and fluency level of the laser beam.
