What should be done if the laser is not delivering treatments?

When a laser is not delivering treatments, it is essential to place it in standby mode or turn it off to ensure safety and functionality. Leaving the laser on when it is not actively being used can lead to unnecessary wear and potential overheating of the device. Additionally, it reduces the risk of accidental activation, which could lead to harm or damage.

In contrast, keeping the laser in idle mode indefinitely is not advisable as it may still result in energy consumption and potential issues with the laser's components. Leaving it on without purpose can also interfere with the maintenance protocols that are designed to keep the equipment in optimal working condition.

Repositioning the laser may not solve the issue of it not delivering treatments, as the problem could stem from technical malfunctions that require troubleshooting rather than a change in physical location. Overall, placing the laser into standby mode or turning it off is the most responsible and effective action.
