A  combination  of  photochemotherapy  with  Methotrexate  is  possible.  The  rare  reactivation  of 
UV erythemas, due to MTX intake, must be taken into account. 

 

Under  treatment  with  Azathioprine,  UVA  may  have  a  mutagenic  effect  by  oxidative  DNA 
damage.

TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 

7.1

 

Treatment Instructions 

Already before a treatment starts, and of course whenever the UV tubes are on, anyone in 
view of the device must wear protective UV blocking glasses. The patient must wear tightly 
fitting UV blocking goggles before the cabin is entered, and at all times during treatment.  
The operator must ensure that the patient takes the correct treatment position and remains 

in that position throughout the treatment. For this, the patient must stand on the corresponding foot 
markings of the floor plate and face the door. In addition, the patient should hold on to the handrails on 
the left and right of the door. As additional safety measure the Velcro noose of the ripcord emergency 
switch should be affixed to the right upper arm of the patient.  
The patient can turn the patient fan on or off himself as needed via the correspondingly marked switch 
in the patient panel. 
The  patient  must  be  instructed  to  stand  as  still  as  possible  in  the  middle  of  the  cabin,  to  ensure  all 
around uniform exposure distances to the UV tubes during treatment.  
Special attention must be paid to very tall patients, who are 2 meter (6.5') or taller. There should always 
be  a  clearance  of  at  least  5  cm  (2")  between  the  head  of  the  patient  and  the  roof  of  the  cabin.  This 
ensures,  that  the  head of the  patient  does  not  impair  the  measurements  of  the  sensors, which  could 
otherwise  lead  to  interferences  of  the  dosimetry.  If  necessary,  the  patient  must  slightly  crouch  down 
during treatment to ensure a sufficient distance to the sensors.  
For  corpulent  patients,  it  must  be  ensured  that  there's  a  distance  of  at  least  15  cm  (6")  between 
pronounced  body  areas  (e.g.  belly,  buttocks)  and  the  acrylic  lamp  covers,  otherwise  the  shorter 
exposure  distances  might  lead  to  partial  erythemas.  In  order  to  avoid  erythemas  in  these  cases,  a 
reduction of the required dose might be a viable option. However, patients with a body weight of more 
than 180 kg (395 lb) must not be treated in the N-LINEpro

7.2

 

UVB – Treatment Recommendations 

In order to avoid any undesirable interaction between light and any topical preparations and to make 
full  use  of  the  photo  therapeutically  effect,  the  patient's  skin  should  be  free  from  such  topical 
preparations before phototherapy is performed. Cutaneous scales should be thoroughly removed. 
At least 20-30 sessions will be necessary before disappearance of symptoms, depending on their clinical 
appearance.    Irregularly  performed  treatments  can  impair  or  even  jeopardize  the  therapeutically 
success.  Regular treatment will assure a satisfactory healing process until symptoms disappear.
