Gives guidelines for the safe use of INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) source equipment in professional premises.

This part of IEC62471, which is a technical report, provides guidelines for the safe use of INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) source equipment in professional premises.

This technical report sets out the control measures recommended for the safety of recipients of IPL treatment, staff, service, maintenance personnel and others. Engineering controls which form part of the IPL equipment or the installation are also briefly described to provide an understanding of the general principles of protection.

1.2 Object

The object of this report is to provide information which helps to protect persons from hazardous exposure to optical radiation and other associated hazards by providing guidance on how to establish safety measures and procedures.

NOTE Although the manufacturers provide treatment information in their instructions for use, such information may not be exhaustive or applicable to all CLIENT treatment conditions.

If IPLs are applied to patients in medical premises, the physician is deemed to be responsible for all medical aspects of the treatment including his or her decisions about questions of indication and contraindication such as found in Clauses 5 and 6.
