- Junction box must include a safety disconnect switch
Site Preparation:
- Choose a location within reach of the specified electrical connection
- Ensure unit placement doesn't obstruct traffic flow
- Position device so the power inlet and circuit breakers are easily accessible
- Must be properly grounded for safety
- Avoid areas where water or moisture might collect
- Protect from access by children and unauthorized users
Room Design Considerations
Ventilation Requirements:
- Exhaust fan directly over the cabinet is recommended for heat dissipation
- Adequate supply of fresh air required
- Exhaust air must be expelled outdoors or into a large area
- Louver-style door recommended for continuous fresh air supply
- Alternative: install grates in the existing door
Space Planning:
- Allow adequate space around the unit for patient access
- Consider patient comfort during treatment
- Ensure proper lighting for skin assessment
- Plan for equipment maintenance access
- Account for 3-meter ocular hazard distance
Environmental Considerations:
- Cool, clean environment for optimal operation
- Protection from UV exposure for furnishings (may cause fading)
- Proper flooring for equipment stability
- Consider noise levels from ventilation fans
Capacity Planning
Treatment Volume Considerations:
- High-Volume Practices: Phothera Pro 4800MAX (48 lamps) for maximum efficiency
- Moderate-Volume Practices: Phothera Pro 4000XL (40 lamps) for balanced performance
- Dual Therapy Needs: Combination lamp configurations (UVA/UVB split)
- Treatment Time: Higher lamp count reduces individual treatment duration
Patient Population Factors:
- Full-body treatment needs
- Combination therapy requirements
- Patient comfort preferences
- Treatment scheduling flexibility
