What should you never assume about a laser used in a different facility?

Assuming that a laser used in a different facility has been properly maintained can lead to significant safety and efficacy issues. Proper maintenance of laser equipment is crucial for ensuring that it operates effectively and safely. If a laser has not been maintained according to the manufacturer's specifications, it could be unsafe for use, potentially causing harm to clients or ineffective treatments. Each facility has its own protocols for maintenance, and without firsthand knowledge, one cannot guarantee that another facility adheres to the same standards.
