4. Warnings & Safety
- Prescription Use Only. Treatments must be supervised by a licensed physician.
- Always wear UV‑blocking goggles for anyone in view of the device.
- Protect untreated skin (e.g., sunscreen SPF 30+ on areas not being treated).
- Do not treat over burns/eruptions or if experiencing unresolved erythema.
- Typical thermal duty cycle: ~10 minutes on / 10 minutes off for very long sessions.
- Keep people and pets out of the treatment area. Avoid water and damaged cords.
5. Setup & Assembly

- Unpack: Remove device and accessories. Connect the “D”-shaped power plug, then plug into a grounded outlet.
- Optional: Install swivel stand per its instructions (if purchased).
- Verify lamps: Confirm lamp type matches prescription (UVA, UVA‑1, NB‑UVB, BB‑UVB, Blue).
6. Positioning & Treatment Distance
Select one of two distances before treating:
- 0 in (on acrylic): Higher intensity; used for hands/feet resting on the guard.
- 9 in (23 cm): For larger areas with the device upright and body 9 in away.
Use the distance consistently with the prescription; switching distances changes treatment time.
7. Operating – ClearLink™

- Select distance: 0 in or 9 in.

- Use Repeat to treat another area with the same dose before leaving the screen.
Dosimetric Mode
- Unlock → Treat Patient → choose 0 in or 9 in.
- Set prescribed dose (mJ for UVB; J for UVA as programmed).

11. Cleaning, Maintenance & Lamps
Routine Care
- Clean patient-contact surfaces between each treatment.
- Dust unit and lamps monthly; clean behind acrylic and reflectors annually.
- Replace lamps: UVB ~300 hrs; UVA/Blue ~500 hrs (environment dependent).
Cleaning & Disinfection
- General: Non‑abrasive cloth + mild soap (no paper towels on reflective surfaces).
- Low‑level: Monk™ wipes (per label) or 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (3 min contact).
- High‑level (between different patients): Use an FDA‑cleared high‑level disinfectant (e.g., Resert XL‑HLD) per manufacturer.
Lamp Replacement (summary)
- Unplug. Remove two side screws; lift top cover.
- Remove clear plastic clasps; press red socket button; lift lamp out with two hands.
- Seat new lamps firmly (audible snap). Replace all lamps as a set; then reset lamp hours to 0.
Calibration (ClearLink Guided/Dosimetric)
Maintain calibration annually or every 100 hours and when lamps change; the integrating dosimeter targets ±5% timer accuracy and ±10% sensor accuracy.
12. Troubleshooting
- Lamps won't ignite: Confirm unlock, mode/time set, goggles on, and power; if still failing, contact support.
- Unexpected lock (“Still red/pain”): Skip one treatment to clear (Guided mode safety).
- Power loss mid‑treatment: ClearLink remembers elapsed time (lamps remain off until resumed). DT does not; restart per prescription.
- Overheating/discomfort: Use 10‑on/10‑off duty cycle for long sessions; allow cool‑down.
- FlexRx exhausted: Follow refill steps in Section 10.
