Caution when using the<br />
CW single probe 500mW<br />
The tip of the CW single probe 500mW can<br />
overheat with full power output and longer<br />
treatment times.<br />
As a result, you should not use this probe<br />
without an attachment or applicator.<br />
Otherwise, the probe tip can get too hot<br />
and may result in burns during contact<br />
with the skin.<br />
The CW single probe 500mW should not<br />
be operated at full power output for longer<br />
than 5 minutes. If you want to use it for longer,<br />
you should pause treatment for at least<br />
one minute every 5 minutes.<br />
Caution when using the pulsed<br />
<strong>probes</strong><br />
The maximum recommended frequency<br />
modulation with superpulsed <strong>probes</strong><br />
is 10,000 Hz. For therapeutic purposes we<br />
have enabled frequencies up to 40,000 Hz,<br />
for example, to allow more energy to be<br />
transferred in a shorter period. However,<br />
this results in an accelerated ageing of the<br />
laser diodes.<br />
The laser diodes should therefore be monitored<br />
more closely than usual, or in any<br />
case in the context of the annual safety<br />
check (see also the chapter Care and Maintenance<br />
on page 28)<br />
Caution when using the<br />
infrared <strong>probes</strong><br />
Every now and then you should test the<br />
functioning of your infrared <strong>probes</strong> with the<br />
help of the laser test diode on your control<br />
unit. Read the chapter on the <strong>Laser</strong><br />
Function Test in the user manual for your<br />
Physiolaser.<br />
