For example, each time you use the device, the ClearLink Controller will check the date of your
last treatment. If you are on schedule, it will automatically proceed. However, if you have missed
a treatment or treatments, the system will adjust accordingly to keep your dose at a safe level. A
screen will appear advising you of the adjustment (
See Figure 12 below
).

Integrating dosimetry, another feature, uses a built-in sensor to monitor the amount of light energy
being produced by the device. The system then automatically adjusts your treatment time to
account for variations in light energy caused by changes in room temperature or the aging of the
lamps.
Finally, before each treatment, the ClearLink Controller will ask about the current condition of
your skin, such as whether or not there is any redness, mild or otherwise. It will use this
information to calculate the next dose. Keep in mind, it is norma
l to experience some “redness”
within 8
–
12 hours of a treatment but it is typically gone before it is time for the next treatment.

Running a Treatment
Note:
The first time you use the device, your dose will automatically appear, based on your
doctor’s prescription. After your first treatment, the screen will display the next scheduled
treatment, but will ask if you experienced any pain or redness after your last treatment. Based on
your response, the system will adjust the treatment according to your prescription.
1.
After unlocking the device, the Treatment Screen will appear with the scheduled dose.
2.
You will be asked,
“Were you in pain or red after your last treatment?”
3.
You must choose one of the following responses:
No, or < 24 Hrs
(“Not at all, or it was gone in less than 24 hours”)
24
–
48 Hrs
(“I was in pain or red for 24
-
48 hours after the treatment”)
> 48 Hrs
(“I was in pain or red for more than 48 hours”)
Still red / pain (“I am currently still red or have pain”)
Note:
Selection of the “Still red / pain” option will lock the device until one treatment has been
skipped. This prevents treating the skin until the erythema (redness) has resolved.
4.
Once you have highlighted your response, press the Enter
key.
5.
The Treatment Confirmation screen will appear and will display the dose and an estimated
time for the treatment. If a change is needed, press the back arrow. To cancel press the
