General Notes 


These operating instructions must be read carefully before starting the device. 

These operating instructions describe the correct usage of the LaserPen® and also 

point out any potential risks. These operating instructions are to be read and 

observed by all persons who operate, use, service and inspect the device. 

Please contact your supplier, representative for any related questions or you may 

direct your inquiries to: 

asia-med GmbH & Ko.KG

Exclusion of liability 

The LaserPen® should only be used for veterinary purpose described in these 

operating instructions. The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage or injuries 

resulting from usage not contained in these operating instructions. The manufacturer 

reserves the right to make modifications in keeping with technological advances. 

LaserPen® principle of function 

The LaserPen® emittes monochromatic, coherent laser light to the cells and tissue. 

The photon enenergy will be absorbed by the cells (e.g. mitochondrials), which leads 

e.g. to a higher oxygen level and further to an improvement of the metabolism. 

Additionally special impulse frequencies are applied (acc. to Dr.NOGIER/France, 

BAHR/Germany, REININGER/Austria) in order to stimulate the body, cell and tissue. 

The special features of the LaserPen® are proven through several years of intensive 

research and offer an exact supply of photon energy to the area being treated. 

Further information on the wide range of uses for laser therapy can be found in 

technical literature and with scheduled seminars. 


LaserPen® standard 


The LaserPen® meets or exceeds the requirements of the following international 

standards: 

EN 60601-1: 1996 Safety of Medical Electrical Equipment 

EN 60601-2-22: 1996 Safety of Diagnostic / Therapeutic Lasers 

EN 60825-1: 2001 Safety of Laser Devices 

Proper usage and field of application 

The LaserPen® is a therapeutic device which is to be used exclusively in veterinary 

offices, clinics and should only be operated under constant supervision. 

The LaserPen® is designed for veterinary therapy. For the treatment of wounds, joints 

and pain. In order to perform the therapy for pain and healing, the probe tip have to 

be placed with light contact to the skin. 

In case of infected skin, eczema, open wounds, keep 1-2 cm distance or cover the 

area with plastic wrap and keep the probe tip in light contact to the area 

Use the cluster probe for the treatment of large areas and joints and the single probe 

on small areas, joints and acupuncture points. 

Therapy recommendation: Start with 2-4 Joule/cm 2 and proceed on the following 

treatment day at the same energy if improved or increase until healing is performed. 

You can modify the treatment parameters according to scientific research (e.g. 

recommended average dosage of 2-4 Joule/cm 2 ) or according to the patients 

reactions at any time. 

Please refer to the training manual to obtain further information regarding the 

applications. 

Indications 

Acupuncture: Stimulation of acupuncture points 

Tissue: Ulceration, wound healing 

Bones/joints: Traumata, joint pain, fracture healing 

Nerves: Nerve pain, neuritis 

Pain: Alleviation of pain 


Contra indications 


The LaserPen® must not be used for/ with the following: 

-ophthalmologic therapy 

-within 30 days of a cortisol injection 

-on patients with pacemakers 

-over cancerous or malignant areas 

-on patients taking immune suppressant medicine containing arsenic 

-along with radiotherapy (3 – 6 months) 

-over the thyroid gland 

-patients with phlebitis 

-along with other electrical/mechanical devices 

Annual inspection of the device 

Due to the advanced technology and precision of the LaserPen®, it must under go a 

safety inspection and calibration at least one year from the purchase date (various 

test are performed in order to insure that the device is operating within the tolerances 

that the device was originally designed). This annual inspection/calibration must be 

submitted to an authorized facility. Repairs or maintenance performed by an 

unauthorized facility or personnel will void your warranty. 

Inclusive with your device will be shipping labels and instructions for deliver to the 

repair and maintenance facility. 

For repair and maintenance, devices must be sent directly to:

Safety Precautions 


Caution - Using the operating equipment or settings in a way not described 

here can result in dangerous exposure to radiation. 

Shutdown in an emergency 

The laser can be shut down in the event of an emergency by pressing the ON/Off 

button or by pulling out the safety plug. 

Personnel 

The LaserPen® should only be operated by trained veterinary personnel. The 

operator will be instructed in safe handling procedures and also made aware of the 

potential risks of laser radiation by ASIAMED. 

Radiation injuries 

Do not look directly into the laser beam outlet. Laser radiation can cause eye 

damage. Protective gear must be worn inside the treatment room during treatment at 

all times, caution during therapy in the head area. 

Registering (valid for Germany, please refer to your national regulations) 

The LaserPen® operator must be registered at the professional association as an 

operator of a class 3 B laser device. Laser safety representative: The operator must 

be able to name a laser safety representative. 

Treatment room 

The laser may only be operated in a room with the door closed. The treatment room 

in which laser therapy is performed must meet the requirements of the Accident 

Prevention Regulation BGV B2 ”Laser radiation”. Attach a warning sign to all inputs 

in accordance with DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6. Reflecting objects, mirrors and chrome parts 

must be removed. 

Safeguarding against unauthorized usage 

To safeguard against unauthorized usage, the LaserPen® is equipped with a 

removable safety plug. The laser can only be operated when the safety plug is 

inserted. If the LaserPen® is not being used store it separately to prevent 

unauthorized usage.

Laser-protection goggles 

All personal are to wear laser protection safety goggles during treatment sessions. 

The only types of safety goggles which may be worn are those which meet DIN 

58215 standards. The filter glasses’ effective wavelength range include the laser light 

wavelength of the LaserPen® equipment in use. 

Safety goggles available: 

Number 530, which may be used for wavelengths from: 655 nm to 904 nm 

Cleaning / Disinfecting 

Please observe that cleaners for plastics, soap are used for periodic cleaning of the 

plastic parts. No penetrative or corrosive agents (such as acetone) should be used. 

Keep fluids from entering the housing. Standard disinfectants may be used. When 

this is done, the unit is to be wiped with a soft cloth which has been dampened with a 

mild, approved disinfectant (50% diluted propyl alcohol solution). 

Under no circumstances is the unit to be flooded with the disinfectant or to be 

treated with solvents! Autoclaving must not be used on the unit. 

Maintenance/Calibration 

The laser diodes will be calibrated by the software at each start. RJ recommends an 

annual service of the laser at the RJ service facilities or an authorised service station. 

Always ensure that operational and sufficiently charged batteries are used. 

The interior of the LaserPen® contains no elements or components which require 

servicing by the user. 

Therefore, there is no need to open the housing. To meet the requirements of DIN 

VDE 0837, “Radiation safety for laser devices,” the unit is to be tested and recalibrate 

after one year of use to ensure that the laser is operating properly. Please send the 

unit to the manufacturer for testing and recalibration. 

Disposal 

Due to the hazards of laser beams, the LaserPen® is not to be disposed of as 

standard electronic scrap. The device is to be delivered to either the supplier or to the 

manufacturer for proper disposal. 

Warranty 

There is a 3 years warranty from the manufacturer. The manufacturer guarantees 

operation of all LaserPen® features described in the user’s guide, provided the 

equipment is used in accordance with the instructions detailed in the user’s guide 

and is treated with proper care. 

New settings, maintenance or repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer or 

an authorized workshop; otherwise the warranty is rendered null and void. 

Interventions in the device by third parties will lead to loss of warranty claims and will 

release the manufacturer from all product liability.
