A critically important feature of the SolRx 500 Series Hand/Foot & Spot device is its
comprehensive Users Manual.
It includes a wealth of information so you can maximize your treatment results.
Most importantly,
it includes
detailed exposure guidelines with treatment times for both psoriasis and vitiligo
(excerpt shown).
These tables provide a complete treatment protocol based on your skin type,
the power of the device, and the waveband.
Other information includes:
- Warnings about who should not use the device. (phototherapy contraindications)
- General warnings about UVB phototherapy and equipment safety.
- Installation considerations, assembly and setup.
- Exposure guidelines including skin type determination, positioning and other tips.
- Usage guidelines & treatment procedure.
- Psoriasis long term maintenance program.
- Device maintenance, bulb replacement, troubleshooting & electrical schematic.
The value of this Users Manual has been recognized by the
Ottawa home phototherapy study
which stated:
"Nurses and dermatologists who do not operate a phototherapy center should be aware of the
detailed instructions provided by Solarc Systems.
Their [the dermatologist's] role becomes more one of professional follow-up
rather than one of education on the operation of the home unit."

The following pictures show some of the possible
" SPOT TREATMENT "
positions:
For
"Spot Treatment",
the patient maintains a minimum distance of 5 to 9 inches from the wire guard and
uses a specific Spot Treatment exposure guideline table to determine treatment times.
Treatment area can be further limited by blocking with modified clothing or sunscreen.
This type of Spot Treatment is useful to determine a patient's response to Narrowband UVB
phototherapy, before introducing
full body treatment
using a larger device.
