For enhanced safety and comfort during operation the onscreen navigation is accompanied by voice
messages of the system. These voice messages warn you e.g. if certain dose levels are exceeded, and
inform the patient about the remaining treatment time.
When you open the cabin door and look up, you will see an oval casing mounted on top of the cabin
roof. This casing holds the UV measuring unit of the cabin's dosimetry with a total of four sensors, which
continuously monitor the irradiance of the UV tubes during treatments. This ensures a precise
application of doses, even if the irradiance of the UV tubes changes, because the exposure times will be
accordingly adjusted in real time by the dosimetry.
The cabin door is equipped with a door contact which shuts off the UV tubes and pauses the treatment
whenever the cabin door is opened. This protects the operator from UV exposure and allows the patient
to interrupt the treatment if necessary.
Inside the cabin are two long handrails to which the patient can hold on to during treatment. On the
right handrail is a patient panel mounted, which is equipped with an emergency off ripcord switch. The
end of the ripcord can be affixed to the patient's upper arm with the aid of a Velcro noose to
automatically actuate the emergency off switch in case the patient collapses during treatment. In this
event the UV tubes shut off and an audible alarm is activated.
On top of the cabin is a patient fan mounted, that comes on automatically with the other fans of the
cabin during treatment. This fan delivers an airstream which makes in particular longer treatments more
comfortable for patients. In case a patient doesn't want this airstream, the patient fan can be switched
off with the switch in the patient panel.

Optional Features
The N-LINEpro cabin is network capable and therefore equipped with an according network connector
on the rear side of the left cabin module. This allows to connect the cabin via a network cable (at least
Cat6) to a Windows® PC from which it can be remotely operated in conjunction with the MEDlight
SKINdex software. To prevent an unauthorised use of the cabin’s touch screen it is automatically locked
during remote operation.
Besides the remote operation of the cabin, the SKINdex software offers an extensive set of practice
approved features for patient management and treatment planning.
To keep in touch with patients also during remote operation, MEDlight offers an optional intercom
system that enables a bidirectional communication via network. For this purpose the patient panel
inside the cabin is already equipped with a microphone and a speaker. The microphone in the cabin
becomes active at a certain sound threshold, and therefore works automatically as soon as the patient
says something.
Some patients might need special attention and therefore require to be checked from time to time
during treatment. For this reason the cabin is equipped with a viewing window. To provide the same
level of attention also during remote operation, MEDlight offers an optional surveillance camera for the
N-LINEpro. The video signal is broadcasted via network, and can be viewed right in the SKINdex
software.
