The safety interlock includes a central tubular portion, an outer ring portion and a spoked connector portion. The safety interlock is adapted for mounting in the medical device in a path of electromagnetic radiation from the source of electromagnetic radiation such that the central tubular portion reflects the electromagnetic radiation to the electromagnetic radiation detector when properly loaded on the medical device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
