Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System
Before applying Laser therapy to the patient, you must
fi rst prepare the patient’s skin as described in the
PATIENT PREPARATION section on page 38. By properly
preparing the patient’s skin for Laser therapy, you will
allow more Laser energy to reach the targeted areas and
reduce the risk of skin irritation.
• Laser protective eyewear should be worn during laser
treatment by the operator and patient to block infrared
light energy from the eyes during treatment.
DANGER
WARNING
**Refer to the TREATMENT TIPS section on page 71.
NOTE: Prior to starting treatment, replace the laser
faceplate on the side of the module not being used with a
blank faceplate.
DEVICE USER INTERFACE
• The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System may be susceptible to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV when first grasping
either the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator. In the event of such a
discharge, the Vectra
® Neo Clinical Therapy System may experience
communication loss with the installed modules. The Vectra ® Neo
Clinical Therapy System will terminate all active outputs (stim,
ultrasound, laser), automatically place the unit in a safe state, and
issue an error message 301 or 307.
• To recover from an error message 301 or 307, turn the unit off
and on using the ON/OFF switch located at the top of the display.
Once the system restarts, re-initiate all treatments that were
interrupted.
• To prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV:
• Grasp and hold the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator prior to
starting treatment. If the applicator must be put down prior to
completion of treatment, stop the current treatment first and
then place the applicator in the holder.
• Maintain humidity in the use environment to at least 50%
relative humidity.
• Floors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile. If floors are
covered with synthetic material, DJO recommends implementing
additional controls to maintain relative humidity to at least
50%.
• Communicate these ESD-precautionary procedures to healthcare
staff, contractors, visitors, and patients.
