Class 4 Laser Safety in Clinic
Professional lasers classified as Class 4 impose the highest safety requirements in clinical practice. For clinics in Denmark, correct implementation of safety procedures is crucial for both operations and compliance.
Safety is not just about equipment – it's about procedures, documentation and responsibility.
What does class 4 mean for safety?
Class 4 lasers are high power and can cause serious eye damage from direct or reflected exposure. They can also cause skin damage if used incorrectly.
