Your device may be equipped with a variety of different lamps and may be manufactured to a number 
of different electrical specifications to meet national and international standards. It may also be 
equipped with either a Flex™ integrating dosimetry control or a Flex timer control.  And, in either case, 
your physician may have prescribed your device with the FlexRx system that limits the total number of 
exposures that the device will deliver.  This manual is applicable for all lamp configurations, electrical 
specifications and control types.

beginning on page twenty-three (23), contains information 

concerning the maintenance, cleaning, re-lamping, and calibration (where applicable) of your device 
along with warranty and service contact details. 
 
We suggest that you first read the sections concerning site selection and general inspection under 

Overview 

and then the instructions that are 

Specific

 to your device with regard to unpacking and 

assembly.
