PBM ADVERSE EVENTS & CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Avoid treatment sites with tattoos.
• Different implant materials will respond differently to laser energy and heat; be aware of any implants and their
location; avoid direct exposure to laser energy or heat at the site of the implant.
• Excessive fatty tissue is known to transmit heat without much attenuation, therefore increase distance or decrease
treatment time.
• Muscle tissue closer to the skin surface may experience a higher absorption of heat; carefully monitor skin temperature
and reduce treatment time as necessary.
• Patients with swelling and/or inflammation may be sensitive to heat; reduce treatment time as necessary to ensure
comfort during treatment.
• Patients with tender or sensitive skin may be hypersensitive to heat; reduce treatment time as necessary to ensure
comfort during treatment.
• Scar tissue has been associated with poor circulation and reduced cooling through heat transport by blood; reduce
treatment time as necessary to avoid overheating.
• Do not treat directly over the site of any known primary malignant carcinoma or secondary metastasis except for
palliative care with informed consent and oncologist permission.
• Do not treat pregnant women as the effects of photobiomodulation therapy on the fetus are unknown.
PBM ADAPTER MAINTENANCE
The disposable spacers are supplied non-sterile by the manufacturer and should be wiped with isopropyl alcohol wipes by
the operator prior to use. The spacers are intended for single-use only and should never be autoclaved or reused to prevent
damage or cross-contamination.
The 25 mm PBM adapter is also provided non-sterile by the manufacturer and can be wiped as needed using isopropyl alcohol
wipes. Do not submerge the 25 mm PBM adapter in any type of cleaning solution. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the 25 mm PBM
adapter.
Use the included cleaning cloth to gently wipe the glass optics of the 25 mm PBM as needed. Do not use any harsh chemicals
or abrasives to clean the glass optics within the 25 mm PBM adapter. Doing so may damage the glass.
The 7 mm and 3 mm PBM adapters can be cleaned and sterilized per the instructions on pages 46-48.
