USE RECOMMENDATIONS
Affected muscles and/or joints have to be exposed to an adequate level of laser energy over a period of time to provide
effective results. Some cases may require more than one laser treatment, or a series of treatments, before significant
improvement is reported. Repeat the treatment as necessary and monitor the progress of the patient’s condition throughout
the treatment.
Diode laser wavelengths, especially 810 nm, are well absorbed in melanin in the skin, which can lead to greater heating of the
target tissues in patients with darker skin types. Power and treatment time should be taken into account for patients of varying
skin pigmentation. Refer to the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale for proper skin classification.
Pain relief preset procedure settings are programmed into the Gemini EVO laser for ease of use. Always use professional
clinical judgment when selecting the laser settings for pain therapy.
Monitor the patient and adjust the power and/or treatment time as necessary to ensure both efficacy and patient comfort.
The preset procedure setting is not meant to be a clinical recommendation in any way.
When you are ready to begin treatment, hold the PBM adapter in contact with the target treatment area. The PBM adapter
is designed to be held in a constant location for the duration of the treatment. If the desired treatment area is larger than
the PBM adapter’s spot size, move the adapter to a new location and start a new treatment only after the initial treatment
time has elapsed.
PBM ADVERSE EVENTS & CONTRAINDICATIONS
If patient discomfort or reddening of the skin in the treatment area occurs at any time during treatment, you can do
the following:
• Defocus the laser energy by moving the adapter a few centimeters back from the skin
• Decrease the treatment time
• Stop treatment
If blistering of the skin occurs, or the patient feels a burning sensation, immediately stop treatment and rinse the area
with cool water or place a cold pack on the affected area for at least 5 minutes. Afterwards, apply a burn ointment or spray.
DO NOT USE ICE.
• Do not use over articles of clothing
• Do not treat open wounds
• Do not apply ointment, creams, lotions, or heating lotion patches at, or in close proximity to, the treatment area.
• Do not apply therapies prior to treatment that could change body temperature, such as ultrasound, ice/heat pack,
electrical stimulation, or heating patches.
