Repeated overexposure to ultraviolet energy could increase the risk of photo aging of the skin and/or skin cancer.

Cleaning • Dust can collect in and around the unit. Dust will reduce the effectiveness of the unit. • A regular cleaning schedule for the ultraviolet lamps and reflector should be set up and followed. • The time between cleanings will vary with the surrounding conditions. It is recommended that the

ultraviolet lamps and reflector be cleaned whenever dust deposits are observed. • DO NOT use any commercial cleaners, abrasives or scouring products when cleaning the unit,

ultraviolet lamps or reflector. Scratches and cleanser residue will reduce the effectiveness of the unit.

Supplies Soft, clean, lint-free cloth Alcohol (medicine cabinet grade)

Cleaning Instructions

CAUTION: Always unplug the FS40 Phototherapy Unit from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance.


Phototherapy Unit Body 1. Confirm that the toggle switch is in the “OFF” position. Unplug the Phototherapy Unit from the

electrical outlet. The body of the Phototherapy unit is constructed of stainless steel, and requires little maintenance. 2. To remove any loose dust wipe down the outer surfaces of the unit with a soft dry cloth. 3. To remove any fingerprints, smears, etc moisten a clean, lint-free cloth with alcohol and wipe down

the outer surfaces of the unit. The use of spray cleaners on the unit is not recommended. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.

Ultraviolet Lamps and Reflector

CAUTION: Ultraviolet lamps may shatter and cause injury if broken. Exercise care when handling lamps. 1. Confirm that the toggle switch is in the “OFF” position. Unplug the Phototherapy Unit from the

electrical outlet. 2. Allow lamps to cool before removing or handling. Ultraviolet lamps will become warm during

operation. 3. See “Lamp Installation” instructions for proper lamp replacement and cleaning procedure. 4. When all lamps have been removed, cleaned and safely set aside, remove any loose dust from the

interior of the unit with a soft dry cloth. The reflector of the Phototherapy Unit is constructed of specular aluminum, a highly reflective mirror like material, used to maximize ultraviolet intensity. 5. To remove any dust, fingerprints, smears, streaks, etc, from the reflector, moisten a clean, lint-free

cloth with alcohol and wipe down the reflector from the top, down to the bottom. 6. Re-install the ultraviolet lamps and lamp guard.

Maintenance • Other than ordinary maintenance, such as lamp replacement, all service should be performed by

qualified service personnel. Contact any of our Application Specialists for assistance in determining your service requirements.

• The ultraviolet lamps used in the Phototherapy unit have a manufacturer’s rated effective useful life of; 5,000 hours for the F40T12/BL – UVA lamps or 3,000 hours for the TL40W/12-RS – UVB lamps. Lamps may operate longer than their effective useful life, but the reduction in ultraviolet output will make it impractical to use past the manufacturer’s rated life.

• Unless lamp replacement is due to failure or breakage, it is recommended that all lamps be replaced at the same time.

Inspection Ultraviolet Lamps Aging ultraviolet lamps should be tested for declining ultraviolet intensity. Initial intensity readings, for each lamp, should be recorded. Follow up readings should be recorded on a routine basis. Maintain intensity records with the Phototherapy Unit. An accurate ultraviolet meter, of the appropriate wavelength, will be required. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions when taking intensity readings. NOTE: Lamps with diminished ultraviolet intensity may not effectively treat some conditions. Consult your physician for allowable ultraviolet intensity drop before lamp replacement is required. Lampholders Inspect all lampholders. Each lampholder should be checked for burn marks. Check contacts for any signs of corrosion. Control Panel The timer should be tested against an accurate timer or stopwatch. A record of the results should be kept. The difference between the set time and the backup timer/stopwatch should not exceed 1-minute.

Lamp Replacement

CAUTION: Ultraviolet lamps may shatter and cause injury if broken. Exercise care when handling lamps.

1. Confirm that the toggle switch is in the “OFF” position. Unplug the FS40 from the electrical outlet. 2. See “Lamp Installation” instructions for proper lamp replacement and cleaning procedure.


3. Dispose of used lamps properly. See “Disposal of Mercury Added Lamps” section for further information.

Breakage

CAUTION: Broken Quartz is SHARP. Wear protective gloves when handling broken ultraviolet lamps. In the event of breakage, DO NOT use a household vacuum cleaner to pick up fragments of the lamp. Sweep up debris into a plastic bag and dispose of properly.

Disposal of Mercury Added Lamps • Ultraviolet lamps, like standard fluorescent lamps contain small amounts of mercury. Mercury added

lamps should not be placed in the trash. Dispose of properly. • For further information regarding the disposal and recycling of lamps containing mercury, along with

Federal and State requirements visit http://www.lamprecycle.org.

Wear personal protection equipment, such as gloves; long sleeves with no gaps between cuffs and gloves, and ultraviolet blocking face shield, when troubleshooting FS40.

• IMPORTANT: This unit is to be serviced ONLY by qualified, and appropriately licensed, personnel.

Table 2 – Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action

No electrical power… Verify that the unit is connected to a live power source. Unit not operating. Power connections, to unit,

loose or disconnected… Verify power connections to unit are fully engaged.

Lamp(s) not properly seated… Confirm connection of lamp and lampholder, make sure connection is tight and lamp is making full contact with lampholder.

Lamp(s) faulty… Swap suspect lamp, with a working lamp. If suspect lamp does not operate, replace lamp.

Ultraviolet lamp(s) not operating.

Ballast not functioning (2 lamps not operating)…

Locate ballast and replace.


Phototherapy Treatment Unless otherwise directed by the prescribing physician; • The recommended exposure distance is 12 inches, measured from the front of the unit. Once

the proper distance is set, and centered between the lamps, mark the position to keep the distance consistent between treatments.

• Exposure at a distance of less than 12 inches is NOT recommended. Do not take a front and back treatment and a side-to-side treatment on the same day; the overlap could lead to overexposure.

• Keep initial exposure time short, approximately 20 seconds, this will help prevent burning. • The ideal result is to achieve a faint reddening (pinkening) of the skin, which will develop several

hours after exposure. • In no case should exposures be repeated more than once in 24 hours. • With each following treatment, increase the exposure time by approximately 10 seconds. • If a faint reddening (pinkening) of the skin results, keep the same exposure time from the last

treatment. If reddening (sunburn) of the skin is plainly visible, stop treatments until the reddening has subsided. The next treatment should be ½ of the last exposure time (which produced the reddening).

• Treatments should be carried out 3 to 5 times a week, as determined by the prescribing physician, until clearing results.

• Once clearing occurs treatments may continue on a less frequent maintenance schedule. Maintain the last exposure time and gradually reduce the number of treatments per week. Treatments may be discontinued or continue with the maintenance schedule as determined by your physician.

Precautions • Eye protection must be worn at all times. • When assisting others (young, elderly, the infirmed, etc.) in their course of therapy, personal

protection such as; gloves; long sleeves with no gaps between cuffs and gloves, and ultraviolet blocking faceshield must be worn

• Areas that are to be treated should be free of all lotions, ointments, deodorants and cosmetics, which may increase the skin’s sensitivity to light.

• Unless specifically affected the user should protect sensitive areas of the body. Apply sunscreen to the face, neck, lips, ears, and backs of the hands, nipples and pigmented areas of the breasts. Men should cover the genitals with a towel, cloth or athletic supporter.

• Users should avoid exposure to sunlight on treatment days. Exposure to sunlight combined with ultraviolet phototherapy could cause a serious burn. If exposure cannot be avoided, protect the treatment area with clothing or sunscreen.

• Certain medications, herbal supplements, etc. may increase the skin’s sensitivity to light. A list, “Medications That Increase Sensitivity to Light: A 1990 Listing” is available on the FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/pdf/uvminfpx.pdf. Report all medications, changes in dosage or new medications to the ordering physician before beginning phototherapy.

• The use of a back-up timer or other type of electronic alarm is required to avoid overexposure if the treatment timer were to fail.
