EN ISO 11810-1 Lasers and Laser Related Equipment - Test Method and Classification for Laser Resistance of Surgical Drapes or Patient Protective Drapes - Primary Ignition and Penetration

ISO 11810-1 applies to disposable and reusable as well as woven and non-woven materials used as surgical drapes and other patient protective drapes claimed to be laser resistant.

The purpose of ISO 11810-1 is to provide a standard method for testing and classifying surgical drapes and other patient protective drapes according to laser induced hazards. An appropriate classification system is given. ISO 11810-1 is not intended to serve as a general fire safety specification and therefore this standard does not cover other sources of ignition. It also does not cover the issue of laser-induced secondary ignition.

All materials reflect portions of the beam and the user must decide whether specular reflection poses a hazard. However, this measurement is not covered by ISO 11810-1.

Users of products tested by this method are cautioned that the laser resistance of the surgical drape or patient shield will be wavelength sensitive and is better tested at the wavelength for which the surgical drape or patient shield is appropriate. designed to be used. If tested using other wavelengths, power settings and delivery modes must be clearly specified.
