GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System – Service Manual
WARNING
• The laser head must be cleaned with a disinfectant cleaner
(i.e. Virex® II 256) or germicidal cloth (i.e. PDI Sani-Cloth® Plus/Hb) between each
therapy session. Ensure no liquids enter into the laser head while cleaning. Do
not use any chlorine-based cleaners on the laser head.
• Do not use laser on or over a tattoo.
• Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• 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.
• 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 page 69,
Electromagnetic Compatibility, to assist in removing the interference.

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.
10
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.
• This unit is considered to be a Class 3B Laser product and thus
emits visible and invisible Laser radiation (IR). Avoid direct eye
exposure to the Laser beam. The symbol to the left is located
on the back of the applicator and indicates the active radiant
surface (the area on the applicator that emits infrared Laser
energy and the direction of the beam of light).When the unit is
on, not all wavelengths are visible to the naked eye. Therefore,
when performing any operational or functional check, always
wear DJO laser protective eyewear.
• The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions used for
cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to evaporate
before the unit is used.
• DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply without first
verifying that the power supply is the correct voltage. Incorrect
voltage may cause unit damage, malfunction, electrical shock,
fire, or personal injury. Your unit was constructed to operate
only on the electrical voltage specified on the Voltage Rating
and Serial Number Plate. Contact your DJO dealer if the unit is
not properly rated.
• Laser protective eyewear should be worn during laser
treatment by the operator and patient to block infrared light
energy from the eyes during treatment.
• DO NOT point the Laser beam directly into human or animal
eyes. The lens of the eye does not detect the invisible, coherent
Laser beams, potentially resulting in permanent retinal
damage.
• Device is not designed to be used in oxygen rich environment,
Explosion hazard if the device is used in the presence of
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous
oxide.

LASER APPLICATOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
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 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
WAVEFORMS
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).
Treatment Time ..........................................1-60 Minutes
Available on Channel...................................1&2, 3&4 Option
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.
Mode Selection .............................................CC or CV*
Burst Frequency .............................................. 0-10 Hz
Frequency Modulation .......................................0-250 Hz
Amplitude Modulation ....................O, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%

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.
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.
Burst Frequency ............................................... 0-2 Hz

COMMON TERMS
Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System – Service Manual
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/cm2
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 specic
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)
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 : “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 aected 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 – Wavelength is measured in nanometers
(nm) and is the key component in obtaining eective
therapy as dierent wavelengths cause dierent
physiological eects. Supercial skin disorders are most
eectively 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.
