CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1 Safety

1.1 Safety of Laser Light

Laser light can prove to be harmful to the human body. The machine’s laser system, how- ever, is sealed inside a protective housing and external covers to prevent leakage of laser light to its outside, ensuring the safety of the user as long as the machine is used for its in- tended functions.

1.2 CDRH Ordinances

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the US Food and Drug Ad- ministration put into force ordinances related to laser products on August 2, 1976.

These ordinances apply to laser products manufactured on and after August 1, 1976, and sale of laser products is prohibited within the US unless they bear a certificate of compli- ance.

The following is the label that indicates compliance with the CDRH ordinances, and it must be found on all laser products sold in the US.
