With lasers well established in many areas of medicine and surgery, many healthcare facilities now use laser interlock systems to ensure automatic laser beam shut-off if safety doors, covers, or blinds, are opened in, say, an operating theatre environment.
Starkstrom says its Lasermet Interlock systems ICS-5e and ICS-5s allow hospitals to “meet – and exceed – laser safety requirements”. The “newest incarnations” have been updated internally “to include the latest in electronic technology and design”, and are now supplied fully integrated into the company’s TCP Touch Screen Theatre Control Panel, or on a standalone enclosure. A key feature is the “simple, easy-to-use”, “durable”, and “wipe-clean”, touchscreen control panel. Illuminated warning signs can also be integrated, allowing accurate indication of room use and equipment status.
