OVERVIEW
DOC LASER® is a Class-IV laser device, certified and classified as a medical instrument
in Class 2b (93/42/EEC, 47/2007EEC). It differs from normal therapeutic laser instruments
as it is designed to provide for ‘self-administered treatment’. The software installed is
of the interactive type; by means of step-by-step procedures, the program will assist
users, who must carefully follow the sequence of instructions that appear on the screen.
Please note that it is very important to read and review the content of the enclosed
manual (CD) before using this device.

ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
“DOCLASER
®
SPORT” must be stored in its case, protected against sources of intense
heat (e.g. solar rays). It must not be kept in an environment where temperatures will
remain low (< 10°C) for long periods of time (e.g. during the night). Failure to respect this
condition will immediately result in the laser not being usable.
The protective glass cover must be kept clean at all times, ensuring that it does not
become soiled in any way with traces of grime or dirt in general. A camera/lens
microfibre cloth should be used to clean the glass cover. Do not use detergents, except
for isopropyl alcohol. The circular head, which comes into contact with the skin during
treatment, must also be cleaned. Isopropyl alcohol should be used also in this case.
