FISIOLASER IRD/IRD 2
6.
Immunosuppressive therapy:
do not use laser therapy on patients undergoing this
type of pharmacological treatment..
7.
Treatment over the sympathetic nervous system, the vagus nerve and the
heart area
in patients with heart disease: laser therapy can significantly modify
neural functions and should not be used over these areas of the body in patients
with heart disease .
8.
Coagulation problems.
9.
Epilepsy.
CAUTION :
Photosensitive reactions:
patients who use certain types of medicine can
display photosensitive reactions. It is not fully understood how the
combination of laser and medicine trigger these reactions. Patients who may be
at risks for allergies, or who have a history of these reactions, should first be
“tested” by applying treatment for a minimal time period.
Means of attachment
, metallic or plastic plates CAN be used with lasers, and
patients with metallic and plastic implants, stitches can safely avail of laser
treatment .
HOW TO USE THE EQUIPMENT
This section provides important information and instructions on how to make the
best use of the FISIOLASER IRD-series equipment for laser therapy.
All the control functions and the machine itself are handled and co-ordinated by a
microprocessor: apart from making pre-memorised programmes available for
application, the microprocessor ensures that the machine can be personalised and
operated in a highly safe and efficient manner.
Interfacing allows for the operator to communicate with the unit by means of a
large, clear graphic backlit liquid crystal display screen (LCD) through which all
operational messages required by the operator, work status during operation, and
errors are visualised.
The following paragraphs illustrate the procedures to be carried out and the technical
specifications of the FISIOLASER IRD-series unit .
They also deal with the different options available, from the selection of a pre-
memorised programme for use in specific treatments as well as how to determine the
correct working parameters for “personalised” application”.
! WARNING !
It is recommended not to start the emission of treatment
if the device isn’t in perfect mechanical conditions or don’t present laser emission
characteristics in compliance with the purpose (see the table of specifications) .
! WARNING !
As the laser radiation that escapes
from the laser-probes for the emission of the
laser-therapy treatments is invisible , the probes
foresee on board the assemblage of
two diodes led, of red colour
! WARNING !
The device of target pointing
of the probe supplied to the device
is characterized by two drive-lights
(led diodes), what they have a driving function ,
in conformity to the EN 60601-2-22 standard .
! WARNING !
The red led-diodes light on with the activation
of the laser emission from the operator,
and everyone of them they emits a pointer beam .
The pointer-beams produce some red spot on
the point of impact, and they delimit the region
where it will revert the spot of the laser beam ,
that is invisible to human eye.
The laser beam is always found to the centre
of the axis of symmetry of the two red spots .
