USER'S MANUAL & USER’S GUIDE

1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

BTL-2000 is a portable therapeutic laser that employs red and infrared BTL laser probes of various powers.

BTL-2000 is designed for easy use and is understandable even for those who are new to laser technology. The laser beam irradiation strength is easy to regulate. Parameters can easily be changed as desired and your own programmes can be created and saved. BTL-2000 software allows continuous change of frequency, density, power, area and time. Considering all parameters are correlated, when a parameter is changed the instrument automatically recalculates the remaining parameters.

BTL-2000 provides preset programmes for the following medical fields: rehabilitation, orthopaedics dentistry, gynaecology, neurology, dermatology, ENT, sports medicine, paediatrics, and general practice. The use of the preset programmes can significantly speed up therapy. When a field and diagnosis is chosen, the instrument will automatically set up the therapy parameters.

BTL-2000 excels with its high power and operates in both Continuous and Pulse modes. In the pulse mode it is possible to modify the DUTY FACTOR of output frequency in the range of

10–90 %. BTL-2000 enables the user to precisely determine the necessary probe distance from skin by setting the desired therapy surface area. BTL-2000 automatically tests laser probe performance and corrects the power for optimal laser output. BTL-2000 is compatible with both digital and analog probes.

BTL-2000 is especially suitable for acupuncture treatment. BTL-2000 has two modes for easy and percise location of acupuncture points. While the instrument measures the changes in skin resisitivity, visual and accoustic signals indicate acupuncture point locations. The instrument is also pre-programmed with Nogier and EAV frequencies.

For dentistry, gynaecology and ENT special optical attachments enable the laser to treat difficult to reach places. The optical attachments are easily attatched to the probe and ready for use.

BTL-2000 complies with all internationally recognised laser instrument specifications.

For entering sentences (name, diagnosis, etc.) the [ + ] push button moves cursor to the right, acting as a spacebar, and the [ - ] push button moves the cursor to the left deleting previous characters.

2.2 Instrument Assembly and Initiation

Carefully unpack instrument and place on a sturdy and level surface (max. 15° angle). Place in cool, dry environment out of reach from direct sunlight. Instrument generates heat when in use therefore it should not be placed in the vicinity of other heat generating devices. This may cause overheating of instrument. The instrument is cooled by natural air convection. Do not cover instrument with flammable materials. Do not place instrument in proximity of devices that emit strong eletric, magnetic, or electro-magnetic fields (motors, transformers, X-rays, etc.). This can cause electromagnetic interference. In case of any misunderstanding, please contact your BTL service representative.

Connect the laser probe to the output connectors (2) according this way: The cable connector put in and secure the fluted ring by pressing and turning in the clockwise. ATTENTION AT THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTING, first of all it is necessary to take by the fingers the fluted ring NO WHOLE connector. TURN BY THE FLUTED RING IN THE ANTICLOCKWISE and then after releasing of the ring disconnect the connector by the pulling, fluted ring still hold in the fingers! ATTENTION!!! DO NOT TURN THE WHOLE CONNECTOR BY THE FORCE, THE DEVICE CAN BE DAMAGED.

Before the INITIAL turning on of instrument, check the Voltage Converter located on the adapter to insure it is in the correct position and in accordance with the mains voltage parameters. Voltage coversion is further described in the chapter Maintenance 2.12. In case of any misunderstanding, please contact your BTL service representative.

We recommend proper storage of the instrument box in case additional transport of instrument is necessary.

The instrument applies irradiation only, it does not apply any pharmaceuticals or substances.

Connecting instrument (DOOR connector on the lower panel) with the door contact is recommended. For further information see Safety 2.13.

The power will be ON following the pressing of the mains power switch on the upper panel. When the battary is low, a “Low battery“ warning will be signalled on the display. It is then necessary to connect the mains power adapter to recharge the battery.

When turning the instrument on you MUST NOT press any buttons on the front panel. This will generate the error sign “Error 100 – Keyboard button jammed”. It is then necessary to turn off the instrument for minimum of three seconds to allow it to reset. (See NOTE).

It is now necessary to enter a code to unlock the instrument. The manufacture code is preset as 0000. If it is not modified you can continue by pressing the [ENTER] push button. It is possible to change the code using the instructions in the chapter User diagnoses 2.4.1. Once the accurate code has been entered, the display shows th main menu. If there are any other reactions after the turning on of the instrument do not attach laser probe and contact BTL service technician before further use.

NOTE: After turning the instrument on and before the entering of the code, the instrument is testing its internal functions (∼ 0.5 sec.). If the instrument finds an internal problem, you will see the error notice “Error“ and the instrument will then be locked in Safe Mode. In this case, it is necessary to contact your BTL service representative. If the error notification “Error 100 – Keyboard button jammed“ is displayed, it is either an operating error or it is possible a button is jammed. In the second case, try to release the affected button or contact your BTL service representative.

2.5 Adjusting therapy parameters

When adjusting preset therapy parameters, use the [MENU] push button to enter patient files, diagnoses, or user settings.

2.5.1 Density

When the density is adjusted, the instrument automatically recalculates therapy time and power parameters.

2.5.2 Irradiated Area

When using a divergent probe, use the following table for the probe distances from skin:

Irradiated area

[cm2]

0.5 1.5 1 2

1.5 2.5 2 3

2.5 3.5 3 4

When using a divergent probe, depth of penetration changes according to the distance of the probe from skin and it is necessary to deduct the desired depth of penetration from the displayed distance of probe.

When using a convergent probe, distance of the probe from the skin is not a crucial factor. The distance is not measured because the beams are parallel.

Distance of probe from skin

[cm]

2.5.3 Power

When the power is adjusted, the instrument automatically recalculates the duration of exposure. Power value could be adjusted within range 20% to 100% of maximal probe output. Output power and the duration of therapy has an inverse relationship. An increase in power output will result in a decrease in therapy duration. Density will remain the same.

Page 9 z 46

USER'S MANUAL & USER’S GUIDE

The instrument calculates output power in tenths of mW, but the display only shows whole numbers. Maximum and minimum power depends on the type of probe used, preset density and area.

2.5.4 Frequency

When the frequency is adjusted, the instrument automatically recalculates therapy time and power parameters. BTL-2000 offers pre-programmed EAV and Nogier frequencies.
