General Treatment Guidelines
Always check with your physician before you start your home treatments. Show him or her these instructions.
Your physician is the final authority for your treatment. Depending upon your particular circumstances, he or
she may modify these directions. Always follow your physician’s instructions.
The Link Controller will track your treatment data, however, you may want a notebook, or treatment log, in
which to record the date, dose and duration of each of your treatments along with any other notes regarding
your treatment or treatment results. (e.g. forgot lip balm, put sunscreen on tender area, etc).
Note:
A free printable treatment log is available for download at www.Daavlin.com.
You will need to purchase lip balm and sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protective Factor) of 30. Check with your
physician to determine whether or not you should use an alcohol or cream based sunscreen.
For your first treatment, unless otherwise instructed by your physician, do not exceed the following doses:
•
Narrowband UVB: 200 milliJoules
•
Broadband UVB: 20 milliJoules
•
UVA: 1 Joule
If you are red or uncomfortable after any treatment, do not resume the treatment until the redness has
subsided. If redness and discomfort are severe, you should discuss this with your physician. You should
always follow the treatment regimen prescribed by your physician.
If after a treatment, a small area feels sunburned, you may protect that area with sunscreen for the next
several treatments or until that area appears normal. (Make a note in your notebook.) You should see your
physician at the intervals he or she requests when you are actively using the unit. Always take your notebook
with you when you see your physician.
How to Position Yourself
The recommended distance from the lamps for treatment is 9 inches (22cm). We also recommend that you
mark that distance on the floor in some manner. Your body should not be closer to the lamps than this line.
Standing closer to the lamps will cause localized streaking or burning. Greater distances will increase the time
necessary to receive a therapeutic dose.
