Maintaining client satisfaction and ensuring a safe work environment for your employees should be your number one priority. Laser devices can potentially be a safety hazard if proper laser maintenance is neglected. Keeping an eye on routine maintenance checks, as well as regular cleaning, will keep your laser equipment safe and prevent damage and disruption to your laser.
This will not only save you money down the road, but also guarantee successful treatments for your clients. Asclepion provides mandatory annual safety checks along with calibration to ensure your laser devices don’t endanger your clients or employees. This blog will tell you all about the dangers of improper laser device usage and the essential device maintenance you can do to guarantee the longevity of your laser device.
Risks of an Inadequately Cared-for Laser Device
Adequate maintenance is essential for the safe and efficient operation of aesthetic laser devices. Neglecting laser maintenance may result in malfunction during treatment, leading to prolonged treatment times and decreased quality in client results. Suboptimal laser delivery results in a loss of client trust and the subsequent repair downtime not only poses an increase in repair costs but also a loss in revenue.
It is imperative to prioritise the clients’ safety during laser treatments. Inadequate care of the device may result in various health hazards, including eye and skin damage, as well as posing risks to equipment operators. For example, in the case of a flaw in the laser, this can potentially ignite gases on fabrics, which could present a fire hazard. Clinical mishaps can also result in legal liabilities and negatively impact your clinic’s reputation.
The consequences of a malfunctioning laser device not only pose a threat to the safety of your workplace, but could also result in client dissatisfaction and injury. Regular maintenance of laser devices is a necessary investment, to prevent such incidents and maintain client satisfaction.
Laser Device Maintenance: Essentials
The basic upkeep of an aesthetic laser device is the same as that of any other device. Before doing any sort of maintenance, make sure that your device is switched off and preferably disconnected from power.
Observing cleanliness and visual inspection are two of the most obvious ones, to begin with. In order to minimise disruption to your laser device, it is important to regularly inspect the device to check for anything unusual, as well as keep it free of dirt and debris.
A weekly checkup is recommended to ensure that all cable connections are undamaged and plugged in securely. Daily cleaning and disinfecting after your last use of the device should be carried out, along with covering the device with a clean cloth when it is not being used every day. This will ensure that even tiny specks of dirt possibly covering the lens won’t cause any inaccurate laser delivery. Keep in mind that abrasive cleaners and aggressive disinfectants should be avoided.
Depending on the Asclepion device you own, it is recommended to examine all ventilation grids of the cooling system regularly, as debris and dust can prevent your laser device from cooling properly, potentially resulting in component and electrical damage.
Before each use, the proper working condition of all handpieces and other application parts must be guaranteed. Asclepion’s user manuals and service technician’s instructions help when carrying out the regular servicing and refilling required by laser devices containing a coolant.
Lastly, always use your device with the utmost care, and if you notice that your laser is making strange noises or smoking, stop using it immediately. Make sure you are familiar with Asclepion’s emergency and maintenance numbers as well as troubleshooting details, in case your device is damaged or malfunctions.
