According to the information we have, the patient hasn't paid attention to the warning labels which are visible at the eye level upon entering the appliance (see attachment jk part no.1014466-00) the label states "protective eye wear such as sunglasses or other light reducing eye wear is recommended for people who are sensitive to bright light." additionally in the manual this statement is also given reference (page 22/5.3).We have verified our bill of materials includes this label, reviewed our manufacturing instruction for applying this label, and sample finished goods to verify the label is applied and in the correct position.Without additional information as to the exact location of this appliance, we feel we have performed due diligence in reference to this incident.It is our opinion the pt either overlooked the label indicating the use of eye protection or disregarded it altogether.Note: the statements in the report referring to the beauty angel as a tanning bed are not correct.The beauty angel is not a tanning bed with classification name: "sun booth." there are no ultraviolet lamps assembled.Location of device unknown.
