## What is Pocket LSO?

Pocket LSO™ — The Laser Safety Officer's Essential Toolkit

Designed for iPhone and iPad. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED — start with a 14-day FREE trial, then choose a monthly or annual plan (save 15% with annual). Cancel anytime.

Stop juggling spreadsheets, standards PDFs, and half-broken calculator apps. Pocket LSO puts every tool a Laser Safety Officer needs right on your iPhone or iPad — AND unlocks the full lasersafety.net web portal so you can move seamlessly from a field measurement to a finished regulatory filing.

MOBILE APP FEATURES

• LASER CLASSIFICATION
Classify Class 1, 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B, and Class 4 lasers per IEC 60825-1 and ANSI Z136.1. Multi-wavelength support with additive exposure ratios, pulsed and CW emission, and full hazard breakdowns.

• NOHD CALCULATOR
Calculate the Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance for CW and pulsed lasers — including diffuse reflection NOHD for Class 4 systems and extended-source analysis.

• MPE & OPTICAL DENSITY
Compute Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for skin and eye, and determine the exact optical density your protective eyewear needs. No more guessing from OD charts.

• BROADBAND & LED HAZARD ANALYSIS
Full IEC 62471 photobiological safety assessment for non-laser light sources — blue light, UV, IR, and retinal thermal hazards.

• OUTDOOR LASER OPERATIONS
Beam hazard zones for outdoor and airspace-adjacent operations: NOHD, Sensitive Zone, Critical Zone, and Laser Free Flight Zone per ANSI Z136.6 and FAA guidance.

FULL WEB PORTAL INCLUDED

Your subscription unlocks lasersafety.net — the complete web toolkit:

→ AUTOMATED FDA CDRH 3632 REPORTS
Generate compliant draft product filings in minutes instead of days. Stop copying formulas from old Word templates.

→ AI LASER SAFETY AGENT
Ask questions about standards, get guidance on classification edge cases, and draft safety documentation with an AI built on the same calculations the rest of the app uses.

→ DATASHEET SCANNER
Pull laser specifications straight from manufacturer PDFs — wavelength, power, divergence, pulse parameters — with a single upload.

→ FMEA TOOL
Structured Failure Mode & Effects Analysis for laser systems, with severity, occurrence, and detection tracking.

→ SOP GENERATOR
Build fully compliant Standard Operating Procedures with section-by-section guidance. Export, review, share.

→ ADVANCED MODELING
Interactive plots, combined beam geometries, and exposure modeling that go beyond what the mobile app alone can display.

STANDARDS COVERED

• IEC 60825-1 — Laser Products Safety
• ANSI Z136.1 — Safe Use of Lasers
• ANSI Z136.6 — Safe Use of Lasers Outdoors
• IEC 62471 — Photobiological Safety

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8 — 2026-08-23

• Pocket LSO is now available in Polish, Czech, and Italian — 18 languages total.
• AI Agent: updated to the latest available models for more accurate compliance guidance.

### 1.6.1 — 2026-07-10

• Sign-in reliability: signing in no longer stalls when the server is slow to answer. The app now gives up promptly and tells you what happened instead of leaving you waiting.
• Clearer sign-in messages: the app now distinguishes an incorrect password, too many attempts, and a server that did not respond, rather than showing a single generic connection error.
• Fixed an issue where sign-in could be temporarily refused because of unrelated activity from other users.
• Settings › About now shows the app version and server address, which makes it easier to report a problem to support.

### 1.6 — 2026-06-11

• SOP AI Fill: upload your own SOP template (.docx, .rtf, .txt, .md) — AI identifies your section headings and the app fills exact NOHD, MPE, OD and control measures into the right places. AI never authors safety figures.
• AI Agent Generate Bundle: ask the in-app agent to produce a complete safety-report bundle — SOP, NBH, classification, FMEA and eyewear ratings — packaged as a downloadable ZIP.
• Classification: added an explicit note that the limiting case for IEC class assignment derives from the Class 1 AELs.

### 1.5 — 2026-05-03

• Broadband / LED: emitters and analyses now save to cloud inventory (previously laser-only)
• NOHD now reported using point-source MPE (Cₑ = 1) per ANSI Z136.1-2014 Annex B; IEC also shows the fixed-α extended-source NOHD as a secondary value
• Combined-beam analysis: clearer "Combined Beam Analysis" section header; note about IEC 60825-1 Clause 4.3(b) shown explicitly

### 1.4 — 2026-04-20

• EN 207 / EN 208 eyewear markings
• Saved reports: FMEA, NBH, and Outdoor reports can now be saved to your inventory
