Bioflex 120 Manual De Instrucciones página 4

During the past quarter of a century, Dr. Kahn has assembled an innovative
team of scientists, clinicians, software and electro-photonic specialists in
order to standardize and advance the field of "Laser Medicine".
During the first ten years of its existence, the company was based at
Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada where it developed and verified its
initial concepts.
Dr. Kahn has published four texts on the topic of Laser Medicine, along
with numerous articles relating to this emerging technology and as a result
of this process, has become a recognized leader in this field.
System Basics
The BIOFLEX 120 is a high performance therapy system that is affordable,
®
cost-effective and easy to use. The ergonomically designed Controller Unit
is connected to a flexible Treatment Array in order to deliver a patented
sequence of Red and Infrared light therapy to injured or diseased tissue
automatically.
Research-based, clincally proven protocols have been developed for
12 anatomical regions, encompassing an extensive number of medical
problems. Four protocol stages are available to treat each area.
The Treatment Array's soft, flexible composition readily adjusts to the
configurations of the anatomical area to which it is applied.
Each treatment is initiated by the emission of a stream of Red Light,
automatically followed by Infrared Light. The latter is not visible to the
human eye.
Once the treatment has been completed this will be confirmed by a sound
marking that event.

Planning Your Treatments
Light therapy is most effective when the Treatment Array is placed firmly
over the dermis and directly over the focal point of the pain. 60% of the
treatment time, both Red and Infrared, should be devoted to that general
region. The remaining treatment time may be extended more widely to
the adjacent areas and if possible, the region opposite to the focus of the
pain. This will make certain that the transmission of all therapy is directed
to both the superficial and deeper tissue layers of the area involved.
Stages of Treatment
There are 4 pre-programmed Stages for each of the 12 treatment areas
depicted on the Controller Unit. Each Stage presents specific protocols
designed to treat that area or condition. Stage 1 should be used initially
and Stage 2 may not be required if the treatment is effective.
Generally treatment is applied once daily for the first 4-5 days. If after 5
or more treatments improvement is not significant, one may advance to
Stage 2 and after a similar or even greater number of treatments, one may
advance to Stage 3 and subsequently, as clinically indicated, to Stage 4.
Variations in Frequency of Application
In some instances, particularly when pain is acute, two treatment sessions
may be applied in sequence or treatment can be administered twice daily
for four or more days, allowing 8-10 hours between sessions. Applying
treatment more than twice over a 24-hour period should be avoided.
As your symptoms diminish with continuing therapy, the frequency of
treatments may be gradually reduced. Often continuing therapy once or
twice each week will continue the healing process and avoid recurrence
of symptoms. Once symptoms have disappeared completely, occasional
maintenance therapy may be beneficial.
