INSTRUCTION FOR THE USER OF WINLASE

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using WinLase because it is unsafe to start using the device before reading the whole manual. The instructions on the following pages will show you how to use and care for your WinLase in a general manner. You should be particularly familiar with the prescription information and precautions before proceeding.

CAUTION: This device must be used only under the continued supervision of a physician or licensed practitioner in the state he/she practices.

• DO NOT use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen to operate the buttons on the touch screen
• This unit should be operated in temperatures between 17° C and 45° C, transported and stored in with Relative Humidity 5% non-condensing at 30° C (+80° F).
• Handle Laser Applicators with care, Inappropriate handing of the Applicator may adversely affect its characteristics.
• Before each use, inspect Laser Applicators for cracks, which may allow the ingress of conductive fluid. Inspect Applicator cables and associated connectors before each use.
• The Winlase system is not designated to prevent the ingress of water or liquids. Ingress of water or liquids could cause malfunction of internal components of the system.

Warnings

• The long-terms effects are un known.
• Use safety goggle during treatment.
• No Metal Implants
• No reflective surface should be there in surrounding.
• Do not pull out cables.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

• Pain Relief:
• Anti-inflammatory/Healing:
• Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth:
• Improved Vascular Activity
• Wound Healing.
• Soft tissue injury

CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR LASER THERAPY

• Applications in the area of the eyes – possibility of direct eye irradiation and retina damage
• Menstruation
• Tumour diseases
• Irradiation of malignancies and potentially precancerous growths
• Irradiation of patients with cochlear implants
• Irradiation of glands with inner secretion
• Patients with febrile conditions
• Pulse modes (both red and infrared beam) are not used on patients with anamnesis of epilepsy
• Pregnancy
• Do not treat patients that are on immune suppression therapy because the light may boost the immune system.
• Do not treat directly over a bacterial infection.
• Do not treat a port. The laser may stimulate the cells to block the port.

PRECAUTIONS

• Be careful treating children and sensitive adults, start with a smaller dosage for the first treatment.
• Avoid treating someone with a fever.
• Avoid treating or significantly reduce the dosage for patient that may be photosensitive or have a stronger reaction to light like patients that are taking any light sensitive drugs including thyroid medication.
• Avoid treating people with sensitive skin.
• Avoid treating any area with a sunburn or recent high sun exposure (including tanning booths). The laser can increase the reaction of these areas and increase the level of sunburn.
• Suspend therapy if the patient is feeling pain from the treatment or if they have any unusual reactions to the therapy.
• Avoid treating anyone with a coagulation disorder. Lasers can increase blood flow and this could result in unexpected consequences.
• Use Laser Safety Goggle when any of the applicator plugged into the device as well as during the treatment.

Introduction

The term LASER is an acronym for the Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It can be considered to be a form of light amplifier which provides enhancement of particular properties of light energy and can be transmitted, reflected, refracted and absorbed. It can be placed within the electromagnetic spectrum. Laser Therapy is used for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When the light source is placed against the skin, the photons penetrate several centimetres and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producing part of a cell. This energy fuels many positive physiological responses resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function. Laser Therapy has been successfully used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, arthritis and sports injuries.

Description

Therapy lasers tend to fall into a particular category of laser light known as 3A or 3B & are often referred to as ‘soft laser’ or ‘mid laser’ sources or ‘cold laser’. The laser diode which we are using is of class 3b with 5-500 mW of average power: viewing beam is hazardous to eyes, diffuse reflections are safe. Class 3 lasers are sometimes referred to as cold lasers, and the therapy may be called LLLT for low-level laser therapy. The actual penetration of LLLT at common wavelengths is a widely debated point & it is common to find widely varying values cited in the literature. It is often claimed that because laser light is monochromatic, polarized & coherent it is capable of greater penetration than ‘normal’ (or non-coherent) light. This should give penetration depths of 3-7mm for visible red light & some 30-40mm for IRR laser light though 10-15mm is probably a more realistic penetration in human tissue. LLLT is generally considered to be a non-thermal energy application, though one must be careful to appreciate that delivery and absorption of any energy to the body will result in the development of heat to some extent. Non thermal in this context really relates to the non-accumulative nature of the thermal energy. Photobioactivation is a commonly used phrase in connection with LILT – meaning the stimulation of various biological events using light energy but without significant temperature changes. Laser Therapy can have a more direct effect of nerve conduction characteristics and hence may result in reduced pain as a more direct effect of the therapy. The concept is that light energy from a laser can reduce pain and inflammation, accelerate healing in damaged tissues, relax muscles, and stimulate nerve regeneration. It depends on wavelength power of laser and its capacity to penetrate into the body. Once you are in the infrared spectrum and above 800 nanometers in wavelength, laser energy penetrates like x-rays, but to achieve depth you need significant power or energy.

Laser safety classifications
The FDA established the laser safety classification system primarily to indicate the risk of injury to the eyes, not to specify clinical performance.

• Class 1 Safe under reasonable operation Class 1m generally safe: some precaution required
• Class 2M UV or IR light at low average power, generally safe LED systems Class 3R (A) Safe for viewing with the unaided eye
• Class 3a 1-5 mW of average power
• Class 3b 5-500 mW of average power: viewing beam is hazardous to eyes, diffuse reflections are safe
• Class 4 >500mW average power all the way to industrial megawatts: hazardous to eyes under all conditions.
