ABOUT LASER THERAPY
Intelect® Advanced Laser Module
OVERVIEW OF LASER THERAPY
In short, the light energy absorbed into the patient’s tissue triggers biological changes at a cellular level to provide
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 spasms; and temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness
associated with arthritis. The dose and frequency of treatment can be adjusted to produce the desired effect.
Low Level Laser Light differs from ordinary light in four ways. Briefly, it is much more intense, directional,
monochromatic and coherent. Most lasers consist of a column of active material with a partly reflecting mirror at
one end and a fully reflecting mirror at the other. The active material can be solid (ruby crystal), liquid or gas (HeNe,
CO
, etc.).
2
Low Level Laser Light has unique physical properties that no ordinary light has. This is the key to why laser light
is so effective compared to other kinds of light in healing. There are more than 100 double-blind positive studies
confirming the clinical effect of LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy). More than 2500 research reports are published.
The book Laser Therapy - clinical practice and scientific background by Jan Tunér and Lars Hode is a good reference
guide for literary documentation.
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 effect of the light
can be registered. This limit, where the effect ceases, is called the greatest active depth. In addition to the factors
mentioned above, this depth is also contingent on tissue type, pigmentation, and dirt on the skin. Fat tissue is more
transparent than muscle tissue.
Some laser applicators may cause a noticeable heat sensation, particularly in hairy areas and on sensitive tissues
such as lips.

ABOUT LASER THERAPY
Intelect® Advanced Laser Module
OVERVIEW OF LASER THERAPY– COMMON TERMS
Common Terms
Applicator - The hand held assembly used to deliver laser energy. The applicator includes the laser head, transducer, and related
electronics.
Collimating - The shape of the laser beam. While neither focused nor dispersed, this laser beam resembles a column when
applied from the unit through the applicator.
Continuous Mode – The output of the laser is not interrupted during the treatment time. This mode imparts the most energy to
the tissues and is used when a maximal effect is desired. (See Duty Cycle).
Dosage – A measure of the intensity of the laser over the treatment area. The unit of measure is Joules or joules/cm
Energy – Measured in Joules, energy equals the treatment time multiplied by the power. More importantly, Energy Density
equals the power output multiplied by the treatment time, and divided by the spot size (cm
measurement of energy delivered.
Frequency – Pulsed frequencies are selectable from 2.5 to 20,000 Hz. The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength, the
deeper the penetration of laser.
Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) – Located by the Acupuncture Point Locator and Laser Applicator (single diode), GSR are the areas
on the human body that indicate the most sensitivity and serve to be good points of treatment for laser therapy to simulate
acupuncture.
Laser Acupuncture – A function available on the Laser Module that allows the user to locate GSR’s (Galvanized Skin Responses)
on the patient’s body and treat those areas accordingly.
Laser Head – The clear lens face of the applicator that contacts the patient’s skin. It consists of laser diodes with or without LED’s
(depending on the applicator).
Power – Measured in Watts (W), power wattage is directly proportional to the treatment time and penetration of the laser energy.
High-powered diodes will reduce patients’ treatment time and give a higher amount of energy at a deeper depth. Power
output can be either continuous or pulsed.

.
ABOUT LASER THERAPY
Intelect® Advanced Laser Module
OVERVIEW OF LASER THERAPY– COMMON TERMS
Power Density - Ratio of power divided by treatment time.
Pulsed Mode – This is the ratio of the “On” time to “Total” time of the cycle, expressed as a percentage. The lower the
percentage, the lower temporal average intensity. 100% is continuous laser light. Pulsed Mode is 90% on and 10% off.
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 affected by LED, SLD, or laser when wavelength, divergence angles, and depth of penetration are
factored. This is the area used to calculate dosage.
Treatment Time – Measured in seconds, it is the suggested time per laser point that therapy is given.
Wavelength – Measured in nanometers (nm), wavelength is the key component in obtaining effective therapy as different
wavelengths bring about different physiological effects. Superficial skin disorders have been found to be most effectively
treated at wavelengths 600-700 nm, while deeper muscular or ligament lesions and joint conditions are better treated at higher
wavelengths of 700-1000 nm.

DANGER
ABOUT LASER THERAPY
WARNING
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device must not be treated
with or be in close proximity to any shortwave diathermy, microwave
diathermy, therapeutic laser 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."
Preventing Overheating of the Applicators
To prevent the applicator from becoming overheated,
check to be sure proper contact is being made
throughout the treatment.
Preventing Adverse Effects
Perform the following procedures to avoid the negative
effects of laser therapy.
Patient Susceptibility
Intelect® Advanced Laser Module
Be sure to inspect the treatment area during and
following treatment, and discontinue if an adverse
reaction does occur.
Output Power
Higher output levels have a greater potential for
patient discomfort. Choose a lower setting to reduce
output or select a pulsed duty cycle to decrease patient
discomfort.
Head Max. Temp. Disclaimer
Head Max. Temp. is for the protection of the equipment,
not for the protection of the patient.
Factors that Affect Treatment
The following factors may affect laser treatment:
• Color of skin (light or dark)
• Age of lesion
• Depth of lesion
• Sensitivity of patient
• Medications that increase sensitivity to light.
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.

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 ±20%.
The new software incorporates a cooling function that forces the user to cool the laser clusters 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.

WARNING
OPERATION
Intelect® Advanced Laser Module
PREPARING THE PATIENT’S SKIN FOR LASER THERAPY
Before applying laser therapy to the patient, you must first prepare the patient’s skin. By properly preparing the
patient’s skin for laser therapy, you will allow more laser energy to reach the targeted areas and reduce the risk of
skin irritation.
To prepare the patient’s skin for laser therapy, do the following:
1. Thoroughly wash the skin on which you intend to place the
laser head with mild soap and water or alcohol wipe.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly.
CAUTION
If you are treating open wounds, make certain you wrap the
Laser Head with cellophane (cling wrap) before beginning
treatment. This will help to prevent the ingress of fluid from
the wound into the laser applicator, and reduces the risk of
cross infection at the site of the wound.
Before each use, clean the plastic lens with NOVUS® Polish
System. Contact Novus at: www.novuspolish.com. 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.

TREATMENT TIPS
Contact
To obtain the most effective results, the applicator should be in contact with the patient’s skin.
Applicator Position
Due to the characteristics of laser light, 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 effective to apply the laser energy into the joint
by positioning the joint in an open position (e.g., knee in flexion). 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 first, then use the cluster applicator for the surrounding area.
Cold and Heat
If you intend to apply cold and heat in conjunction with laser therapy, use the following guidelines:
• Use cold before the 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 cell and so that more energy can be removed
from the area.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Maintaining the Intelect Advanced Laser Module
The following items should be checked at least monthly to ensure proper operation of this unit:
• Power cord and plug: Check to make sure the cord is not frayed, kinked, and does not have torn or cut
insulation.
• Applicator cable: Check to make sure the cable is flexible, free of kinks, not frayed, and the insulation is intact.
• Applicator lens: Check to see that there is no build-up of oil or foreign material on or behind the applicator
lens.
Before each use, clean the plastic lens with NOVUS®
Polish System. Contact Novus at: www.novuspolish.com.
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.
Cleaning
To clean the accessories, use only soap and water. Alcohol may be used to disinfect and sterilize the aluminum
surface, but avoid the plastic area.
The Intelect Advanced Laser Module’s case may be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution.
Avoid abrasive cleansers.
