Somewhere I read something about filling out 7 hours of paper work and a variance form (I am familiar with the variance form).
Basically, my goal is to rebuild these lasers so that they are in compliance with the FDA's standards. Can anyone offer any suggestions or lead me in the right direction with what the FDA requires in the laser build to be in compliance? Money is not an issue, however I would like to keep these builds and not have to buy new ones.
I live in the US and have a background in electronics and computers.
