Flex Timer Instructions
Determining a treatment time
(See additional instructions for the 1 Series)
When using time as a dose, there are two treatment methods that
can be used. The simplest is to start at a prescribed time and then
increase treatment times by a specific time increment or by a
percentage, per your physician’s protocol. Another method is to use
the factory power output levels (shown on the
Power Output
Certificate
) to determine estimated “time equivalents” needed to
deliver doses in milliJoules (UVB) or Joules (UVA or visible light).
To determine a “time equivalent”, consult the laminated Time Chart
that is provided and find the power output on the top row (horizontal
axis). The numbers in the column on the left (vertical axis)
