Device Description
The Dermalux
®
Tri-Wave system is a floor standing device whose purpose is to produce
an even, cool, narrow-band of light for the treatment of cosmetic and dermatological
conditions.
The system consists of a main body that contains the power supply (100-264Vac (47-
63Hz)) power switch and control panel and a treatment head that contains light emitting
diodes (LEDs). The main body is mounted on lockable wheels. The LEDs generate the
light.
The power supply is designed to power the internal electronics for the system and the
light emitting diodes. The power supply is connected to a suitable mains outlet via a 3
pin input socket and wall plug. The device is switched ON/OFF by a switch located on
the rear panel of the base unit.
The control panel contains a programmable timer and LCD display. Software allows the
operator to select the treatment wavelength and treatment time or select from a range of
pre-programmed treatment settings. The control panel also allows the operator to
position the treatment head.
The light is generated by light emitting diodes which are contained within a treatment
head. The treatment head is connected to the main body by a lift arm. The lift arm
allows the operator to correctly position the treatment head over the treatment area.
Safety goggles are supplied for patient comfort and safety.
The equipment is not used to make measurements of any sort, or to draw any
conclusions regarding the indication to treat. The equipment does not require checks on
the light output as the LEDs do not dim with age to any practical extent.
