The Ten Musts
- Radiation danger? Non-ionizing light, no accumulation (the myths).
- Eye protection? Wavelength-matched eyewear + opaque patient shields (the standards).
- Who may operate? Regulation plus certification (the scope).
- Children in treatment rooms? No — access control.
- Mid-treatment failure risks? Interlocks and e-stops (the interlocks); handling per the failure response.
- Toxic plume? Evacuation required (the plume control).
- Pregnant bystanders? Surface non-ionizing light isn’t a radiation issue; the treatments themselves follow the contraindication map.
- Home placement? Professional devices need professional environments.
- Tattoos and moles? Avoid or use dedicated settings.
- Fire response? Alcohol-evaporation discipline + extinguisher plans (the fire entry).
