Precautions and Warnings
• Caution, the use of controls or adjustments of performance or procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Read all instructions, precautions, and contraindications carefully before beginning treatments.
• If the treatment area is larger than the size of the Probe aperture, then areas equal in size to the aperture should be
treated one at a time until the entire area is covered. Do not attempt to “bathe” the area by moving the Probe back
and forth or in some other manner over the target area. Failure to make full contact with the treatment surface may
result in outcomes that are less effective. Other methods may reduce total energy absorption. If the area is large, the
TWO 5” X 7” Tri-Wave Light Pads may be a more appropriate treatment option.
• DO NOT use over open wounds unless covered with a clear sterile protective barrier. An open wound may be
treated in the non-contact mode without protective barrier however energy delivery will be diminished. Undue
pressure should not be exerted on the wound bed. Caution: The probe should also be sanitized, e.g. by cleaning with
methylene (alcohol) or some other standard sanitizing agent.
• DO NOT USE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL WHEN CLEANING THE TRI-WAVE PROBE LENS. To cleanse, use a
mild antibacterial soft soap and lukewarm water on a soft cloth. Never apply soap and water directly on the lens.
Gently rinse using the soft cloth damped with clean lukewarm water. Dry by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois.
• Cleanse the Tri-Wave Light Pad by gently wiping the surface with a mild soap on a dampened soft cloth. Never
immerse the pad. Alcohol, caustic cleansers, or solvents should never be used on the pad’s surface.
• Cleanse the treatment area thoroughly in order to remove all gels and lotions.
• DO NOT use gels or lotions in combination with light therapy. Using gels will obscure the optical output resulting
in a loss of output power and efficacy. Gels will clog the vents causing overheating and damage to the internal
components. Damage caused by the use of gels and lotions may void your warranty.
• Keep the Tri-Wave Light Probe head vents unobstructed during treatment.
WARNING
Protective eyewear is required when using the Blue Light options. Exposure to blue light poses a risk of eye (retinal)
damage.
NOTE: This therapy must be used cautiously where sensory nerve damage is present or in any case where there is
a loss of normal skin sensation; including areas desensitized by medication or other therapies such as any type of
cryotherapy.
