Laser Safety
The Epilog Model 19000 Laser Systems are classified as a Class 2 laser product, as defined in International Standard EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021.
The Epilog Model 19000 complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, the Federal Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the US FDA issued Laser Notice No. 56 to permit manufacturers to classify and manufacture their products in accordance with the International Standard.
In Class 2 mode the output of the embedded laser is fully contained. The laser cabinet has safety interlocks that turn the laser off if any access door is opened during operation, and no special precautions are necessary to operate the laser safely. Access doors are interlocked and can be opened without the use of a tool. Any interlocked door that is opened while the machine is operating will immediately stop the laser from firing.
Access panels are not interlocked and require a tool for opening or removal. Access panels should always be installed when the laser is operating. Never operate the laser system with an access panel removed.
The visible output beam of the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) is accessible to the operator. While this device employs the same technology as the familiar laser pen-pointers, like them it is potentially hazardous if its beam is directed into the eye. We have made every effort to make the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) as safe as possible. Its beam path is located well inside the cabinet, and under normal conditions, no hazardous levels of laser radiation can escape.
Warning – The operator of the Epilog Model 19000 should observe the following general precautions:
- DO NOT disassemble the machine or remove any of its protective covers while the unit is plugged in.
- DO NOT attempt to defeat the door interlocks.
- DO NOT view directly into the beam of the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer).
- DO NOT operate the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) without the machine’s focus lens in place. If the unfocused beam strikes a reflective surface, it could be directed out of the cabinet.
Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Reference Standard
The standard reference for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers, Z136.1-2022, developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is the basis for many of the federal regulations for laser and laser system manufacturers, and for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laser safety guidelines. It contains detailed information concerning proper installation and use of laser systems.
While the ANSI standard itself does not have the force of law, its recommendations, including warning signage, training, and the designation of a laser safety officer, may be compulsory under local workplace regulations when operating laser systems above Class I. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the installation and operation of the Epilog Model 19000 Laser System is performed in accordance with all applicable laws.
