Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System
GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
• The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System may be susceptible to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV when first grasping either
the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator. In the event of such a discharge,
the Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System may experience
communication loss with the installed modules. The Vectra® Neo
Clinical Therapy System will terminate all active outputs (stim,
ultrasound, laser), automatically place the unit in a safe state, and
issue an error message 301 or 307.
- To recover from an error message 301 or 307, turn the unit off and
on using the ON/OFF switch located at the top of the display. Once
the system restarts, re-initiate all treatments that were
interrupted.
• To prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV:
- Grasp and hold the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator prior to starting
treatment. If the applicator must be put down prior to completion
of treatment, stop the current treatment first and then place the
applicator in the holder.
- Maintain humidity in the use environment to at least 50% relative
humidity.
- Floors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile. If floors are
covered with synthetic material, DJO recommends implementing
additional controls to maintain relative humidity to at least 50%.
- Communicate these ESD-precautionary procedures to healthcare
staff, contractors, visitors, and patients.
• Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
WARNING
• Output current density is related to electrode size. Improper
application may result in patient injury. If any question arises as to the
proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner prior to therapy
session.
• Do not apply the Ultrasound Applicator to the patient during the Head
Warming period. Applicator must remain in Applicator Hook during the
Head Warming period.
• Some patients are more sensitive to Laser output (i.e., patients taking
medications that increase sensitivity to light) and may experience a
reaction similar to a heat rash.
• Before each Laser use, clean the plastic lens with a clean cloth. Make
certain to apply with a clean cloth. Failure to clean the lens between
patient therapy sessions could cause beam fragmentation, which may
reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC.
Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can be affected by
other medical electrical devices. If you believe interference is
occurring, please consult the ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
section on page 73, to assist in removing the interference.
• Common RF emitting devices (e.g., RFID) and electromagnetic security
systems (e.g., metal detectors) may interfere with the operation of the
Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System. The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy
System has been tested in the presence of these types of devices and
while no adverse event occurred, the device should not be operated
within the vicinity or environment as another RF emitting device.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and
the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause
difficulty in breathing.
• Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac
arrhythmia.
• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, and
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, etc.
• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity
to, cancerous lesions.
• Electrotherapy output current density is related to electrode size.
Improper application may result in patient injury. If any question
arises as to the proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner
prior to therapy session.
• The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System optional modules and
associated accessories are designed for use only with the Vectra® Neo
Clinical Therapy System.
• Remove the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator by pulling the cable
connector only. DO NOT remove by pulling the cable.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
• Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device,
in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of
25 microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
• Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device must
not be treated with or be in close proximity to any
shortwave diathermy, therapeutic ultrasound diathermy,
or laser diathermy anywhere on their body. Energy from
diathermy (shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser)
can be transferred through the implanted
neurostimulation system, can cause tissue damage, and
can result in severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or
death can occur during diathermy therapy even if the
implanted neurostimulation system is turned off.
• Handle, clean, and dispose of components and accessories
that have come in contact with bodily fluids according to
National, Local, and Facility rules, regulations, and
procedures.

Head Warming Feature
The Head Warming feature of an Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System utilizes
Ultrasound output, resulting in warming of the Applicator to increase patient
comfort.
With Head Warming enabled, ultrasound is emitted without pressing the Start
button while an ultrasound treatment is being set up. The Applicator LED will
not illuminate during the Head Warming period. US Channel will indicate
“Head Warming”.
For all single diode and cluster laser and LED applicators, the expected increase in the measured quantities after
manufacture added to the values measured at the time of manufacture is
The software incorporates a cooling function that forces the user to cool the laser cluster prior to the next treatment.
The software will calculate the cooling time needed when treatment times exceed 3 minutes per application. For a
3 minute treatment, it will force a 15 second cool down period before the next treatment can begin. For a 4 minute
treatment, it will force a 2 minute cool down period before the next treatment can begin. The software extrapolates for
times between 3 and 4 minutes.
A message will display on the screen informing the user that the probe is cooling down and the time period required.
After 5 seconds, this message will disappear. If the user attempts to use the probe before the cool down period is
completed, the message will re-display to signify that the applicator is still in cool down mode. After the cool down period
is complete, a message displays that informs the user that the unit is ready for use.

WAVEFORMS
For additional information on Waveforms and output
energy, refer to APPENDIX 3 on page 78.
CC: Constant Current
CV: Constant Voltage
IFC (Interferential) Traditional (4 Pole)
Interferential Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current is distributed
through two channels (four electrodes). The currents cross each other in the
body at the area requiring treatment. The two currents interfere with each
other at this crossing point, resulting in a modulation of the intensity (the
current intensity increases and decreases at a regular frequency).
The Symmetrical Biphasic waveform has a short pulse duration and is capable
of strong stimulation of nerve bers in the skin and in muscle. This waveform is
often used in portable muscle stimulation units, and some TENS devices.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
TENS- Asymmetrical Biphasic
The Asymmetrical Biphasic waveform has a short pulse duration. It is capable
of strong stimulation of the nerve bers in the skin as well as of muscle tissue.
This waveform is often used in TENS devices.Because of its short pulse, the
patient typically tolerates the current well, even at relatively high intensities.
The HAN Waveform provides optimal parameters with a precisely controlled
sequence of Dense-and-Disperse (DD) modes of stimulation where 2 Hz is
alternating with 15 or 70 Hz, each lasting for 3 seconds..
• Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in
certain configurations, will deliver a charge of
25 microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
35
Page 38
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
WAVEFORMS CONTINUED
Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System
VMS™
VMS™ is a symmetrical biphasic waveform with a 100 µsec interphase interval.
Because the pulse is relatively short, the waveform has a low skin load,
making it suitable for applications requiring high intensities, such as in muscle
strengthening protocols.
The VMS™ FR version of the VMS ™ waveform is a physiologically based channel
interaction in which one channel stimulates the agonist and the other the
antagonist of the muscle group that is being exercised. VMS is a symmetrical
biphasic waveform with a 100 sec interphase interval. Because the pulse
is relatively short, the waveform has a low skin load, making it suitable for
applications requiring high intensities, such as in muscle strengthening
protocols.
VMS ™ Burst is a symmetrical biphasic waveform delivered in a burst format.
Because the pulse is relatively short, the waveform has a low skin load,
making it suitable for applications requiring high intensities, such as muscle
strengthening protocols.
Premodulated Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current comes out of
one channel (two electrodes). The current intensity is modulated: it increases
and decreases at a regular frequency (the Amplitude Modulation Frequency).
Russian Current is a sinusoidal waveform, delivered in bursts or series of pulses.
This method was claimed by its author (Kots) to produce maximal muscle
strengthening e ects without signi cant discomfort to the patient.
The High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC) has a very brief pulse duration
characterized by two distinct peaks delivered at high voltage. The waveform is
monophasic (current ows in one direction only).
Microcurrent is a monophasic waveform of very low intensity. The physiological
working mechanism of this e ect is as yet not clearly understood. It is thought
to stimulate tissue healing by stimulating the ‘current of injury’, a current which
naturally occurs in healing tissue.
• Examine the skin for any wounds and clean the skin.
• Apply the electrodes to the treatment area.
• Ensure the electrodes are applied securely to the skin.
• Ensure good contact between each electrode and the
skin.
• Check the electrode contact regularly during the
treatment.
• Examine the skin again after the treatment.
• Choose electrodes that fit the anatomy.
• View the Electrode Placement recommendations
in the Treatment Review screen for the particular
modality being used for treatment as a reference point
only prior to administering treatment.
• Follow electrode manufacturer instructions.
• DO NOT use electrodes with an active area less than
7.92 cm
injury. Always exercise caution with current densities
more than 2mA/cm2. Refer to CURRENT DENSITY

sEMG OPERATION
DEVICE USER INTERFACE
The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System sEMG + Stim
modality utilizes sEMG biofeedback activity coupled with
triggered electrical muscle stimulation using selected
electrotherapy waveforms for the maximum bene t in
muscle retraining. The following options are available:
sEMG (Channel 1), sEMG (Channel 2),
sEMG (Channels 1 & 2), sEMG + Stim VMS, and sEMG +
Stim Sym Biphasic.
The Electrical Muscle Stimulation is triggered when the
muscle contraction (sEMG portion of the therapy) reaches
the target, sEMG stops, and the muscle is then electrically
stimulated for the pre-set period. After stimulation, the
patient is given a short rest period and then repeats the
muscle contraction, attempting to reach the target to
again trigger the electrical stimulation. This is repeated
throughout the therapy session.
Session parameters can be stored on a USB storage drive
and accessed on the Home screen under the Patient Data
icon. The sEMG portion of sEMG + Stim modality is used
to force the patient to contract the muscle to a prescribed
target. The data cannot be recorded or stored on the

“Contract” remains on the screen until the patient’s
sEMG output reaches the Target Threshold, at which
time Electrical Stimulation is delivered.
• Hold: Instructs the patient to contract the selected
muscle(s). When the Target Threshold is reached,
the “Hold” prompt appears, instructing the patient
to continue to contract the selected muscle(s) until
the pre-set time for the Stimulation ends. A yellow
vertical line appears at the end of the Hold period.
• Relax: Instructs the patient to relax. “Relax” appears,
indicating the patient should relax, stopping the
contraction. Relax continues for the pre-set time.

Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System
APPENDIX 1
OVERVIEW OF LASER THERAPY
Laser therapy results in energy absorbed into the patient’s
tissue from light, triggering biological changes at a
cellular level, resulting in the following:
• Topical heating for the temporary increase in local
blood circulation
• Temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches,
pains, and stiffness
• Relaxation of muscles and relief of muscle spasm
• Temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated
with arthritis. The dose and frequency of treatment
can be adjusted to produce the desired effect.
There is no exact limit with respect to the penetration
of the light. The light gets weaker the further from the
surface it penetrates. There is, however, a limit at which
the light intensity is so low that no biological e ect of
the light can be registered. This limit, where the e ect
ceases, is called “the greatest active depth.” This depth is
also contingent on tissue type, pigmentation, and dirt
on the skin. For example, fat tissue is more transparent
than muscle tissue and more easily penetrable by Laser
than muscle tissue as blood hemoglobin is an important
absorber of light, and highly vascularized muscle tissue
makes Laser penetration more di cult.
NOTE: Some laser applicators may cause a noticeable
heat sensation, particularly in hairy areas and on sensitive
tissues such as lips.
TREATMENT TIPS
Contact
To obtain the most e ective results, the applicator should
be in contact with the patient’s skin.
Applicator Position
Due to the characteristics of Laser, the angle at which the
light enters the patient’s skin is very important. Therefore,
the applicator lens should always be parallel to the
treatment area.
Treating Joints
If you are applying Laser therapy to a patient’s joint, it is
more e ective to apply the Laser energy into the joint
by positioning the joint in an open position (e.g., knee
in exion). However, do not attempt this method if it is
uncomfortable to the patient.
Applicator Selection
If the injury you intend to treat is very small (pinpoint),
you should only need to treat the area with a single diode
applicator. If the area surrounding the treatment area
is sensitive, it is recommended that you apply therapy
with a single diode applicator rst, then use the cluster
applicator for the surrounding area.
Cold and Heat
If you intend to apply cold or heat as an adjunct to Laser
therapy, use the following guidelines:
• Use cold before Laser therapy. This slows the flow of
red blood cells and reduces the amount of energy
removed from the area.
• Use heat after the treatment. This speeds the flow of
red blood cells so that more energy can be removed
from the area.
71

APPENDIX 1
COMMON TERMS
Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System
Applicator – Hand held assembly that delivers Laser
energy and includes laser head, diode, and related
electronics
Collimating – The shape of the Laser beam. It is neither
focused or dispersed and resembles a column when
applied
Continuous Mode – The output of the Laser is not
interrupted during the treatment time
Dosage – Intensity measurement of the Laser energy over
the treatment area. It is measured in Joules or Joules/cm
2
Energy – Measured in Joules, energy equals the treatment
time multiplied by the power. Energy density equals the
power output multiplied by the treatment time, and
divided by the spot size (cm2). This gives a more speci c
measurement of energy delivered
Frequency – Pulsed frequencies are selectable from 8 to
10,000 Hz
Laser Head – The clear lens applicator face contacts the
patient’s skin. It consists of laser diodes with or without
LED’s or SLD’s (depending on the applicator)
Treatment Time – Measured in seconds, it is the
suggested time per laser point that therapy is given
Wavelength – Wavelength is measured in nanometers
(nm) and is the key component in obtaining e ective
therapy as di erent wavelengths cause di erent
physiological e ects. Super cial skin disorders are most
e ectively treated at wavelengths 600-700 nm, while
deeper muscular or ligament lesions and joint conditions
are best treated at higher wavelengths of 700-1000 nm.
Power – Measured in Watts (W), power wattage is directly
proportional to treatment time and penetration of the
Laser energy. High-powered diodes will reduce patients’
treatment times and give a higher amount of energy at a
deeper depth. Power output can be either continuous or
pulsed
Power Density - Ratio of power divided by treatment
time
Pulsed Mode - This is the ratio of the “On” time to the
“Total” time of the cycle, expressed as a percentage.
The lower the percentage, the lower temporal average
intensity. 100% is continuous Laser. Pulsed Mode is 90%
on and 10% o
NOTE: Pulsed Mode is also equivalent to Duty Cycle.
Spot Size - Area of the LED, SLD, or laser beam when it
leaves the face of the lens
Treatment Area - Area of tissue a ected by LED, SLD, or
laser when wavelength, divergence angles, and depth of
penetration are factored. This is the area used to calculate
dosage

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY EMC
APPENDIX 2
The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System has been
tested and found to comply with the electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) limits for medical devices to
IEC 60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
typical medical installation.
The guidelines below are intended to help promote
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in the identi ed use
environment for the Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System.
• Make use of available resources such as EMC
professionals and publications and Internet web pages
on the subject of medical device EMC;
• Assess the electromagnetic environment of the facility
(e.g., identify radio transmitters in around the facility)
and identify areas where critical medical devices are
used;
• Manage the electromagnetic environment, RF
transmitters and all electrical and electronic
equipment, including medical devices, to reduce the
risk of medical device electromagnetic interference
(EMI) and achieve EMC;
• Coordinate the purchase, installation, service,
and management of all electrical and electronic
equipment used in the facility to achieve EMC;
• Educate healthcare facility staff, contractors, visitors,
and patients about EMC and EMI and how they can
recognize medical device EMI and help minimize
associated risks;
• Establish and implement written policies and
procedures that document the intentions and
methods of the healthcare institution for reducing the
risk of medical device EMI and achieving EMC;
• Report EMI problems to the US FDA MedWatch
program and communicate EMI/EMC experiences to
colleagues in open forums such as medical/technical
publications and conferences.
More information is contained within a comprehensive

Risk assessment on the Vectra Neo Clinical Therapy System
indicates the compliance levels claimed are acceptable when
ESD-precautionary measures are taken.
The VectraNeo Clinical Therapy System may be susceptible to
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV when rst
grasping either the Ultrasound or Laser applicator. In the event
of such a discharge, the Vectra Neo Clinical Therapy System
may experience communication loss with the installed modules. The Vectra Neo Clinical Therapy System will terminate all
active outputs (stim, ultrasound, laser), automatically place the
unit in a safe state, and issue an error message 301 or 307.
To recover from an error message 301 or 307, turn the unit
o and on using the ON/OFF switch located at the top of the
display. Once the system restarts, re-initiate all treatments that
were interrupted.
To prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV:
- Grasp and hold the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator prior
to starting treatment. If the applicator must be put
down prior to completion of treatment, stop the current
treatment first and then place the applicator in the
holder.
- Maintain humidity in the use environment to at least
50% relative humidity.
- Floors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile. If floors
are covered with synthetic material, DJO recommends
implementing additional controls to maintain relative
humidity to at least 50%.
- Communicate these ESD-precautionary procedures to
healthcare staff, contractors, visitors and patients.

CALCULATIONS FOR OUTPUT CURRENT
The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System controls total output current and output energy to comply with IEC 60601-2-
10. The System also controls total output current density for the selected electrode to comply with FDA requirements.
The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System controls output by dynamically changing the range of controllable/selectable
parameters, based on the user selection of Intensity, Phase Duration, Frequency, and/or Electrode size.
The following tables provide the calculation and guidance used by the system to dynamically control the output and
comply with IEC 60601-2-10 and the 250 mW/cm2 power density-limit required by FDA. All calculations are based on
Resistive Load = 500 ohms and Accuracy of 10% (1.1).

ELECTRODE SIZE SELECTION
The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System allows the user to select an electrode size from three di erent options, which
allows the System to more accurately control the output current. Please refer to following table for the selection guide
related to di erent DJO electrode part numbers.
Device Electrode Selection DJO Electrode Part Number
* The maximum output current is limited by the System to a value lower than what the electrode can deliver and
therefore for the purposes of electrode selection in modality setup, all elliptical electrodes are considered as “round” and
all rectangular electrodes are considered as “square”. Electrodes are grouped in this manner for ease of user selection.
