ESCRIPTION
2.1. G
ENERAL
dermalight® 80 is a medical UV-irradiation unit designed for mobile use. The emission
spectrum of its lamps is in the UVB narrowband-range. The lamps contain a small innoxious
part of visible light.
Simple and universal use of the dermalight® 80 is made possible by its low weight and
handy shape. Treatment of the scalp – normally a difficult exercise – is easy to perform with
the slip-on comb attachment.
Never start the dermalight® 80 without first putting on safety goggles. UVBirradiation may harm your eyes!
2.2. S
COPE OF DELIVERY
The dermalight® 80 is delivered with the following parts:
• dermalight® 80 unit with mains plug
• comb attachment
• Operation instructions with patient’s diary
• UV-protective googles
• LCD-timer
• plastic suitcase

PERATION
Plug the dermalight® 80 into a mains outlet (230 V / 50 Hz). Operate the dermalight® 80
only from properly installed socket outlets. The plug should only be operated in horizontal
position in order to avoid, that it falls out of the mains outlet (you can use a triple socket
assembly). With the rocker switch on the top of the unit you can switch the dermalight® 80
on and off. After the unit is switched on there may be an ignition delay of up to 30 seconds
before the lamps emit a uniform light.
The dermalight® 80 is ready for use immediately after lamp ignition, i.e. there is no warm-up
period.
3.1. O
PERATION WITH THE COMB ATTACHMENT
To use the dermalight® 80 with the comb attachment (Art.-no.
995200), slip on the attachment from the front of the unit until
the two lugs on the comb snap into the recesses in the
dermalight® 80. The attachment is correctly fitted when the
four guide ribs of the comb are inside the guide slots of the
dermalight® 80. The “dr. hönle”-logo then lies at the front of
the dermalight® 80.
3.2. O
PERATING CONDITIONS
dermalight® 80 is designed for use in dry rooms with an ambient temperature never
exceeding 45 °C.
Be sure to protect the unit from chemical vapours and never use it in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The unit can be used at any angle.

3.3. E
LECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
dermalight 80 uses high frequency energy exclusively for its internal function. Therefore its
HF-emission is very low and it is unlikely that surrounding electronic devices are disturbed.
(HF-emissions acc. to CISPR 11, group 1)
dermalight 80 is determined for the use in an environment as described below. The user
should take care that the unit is used in such an environment.
dermalight 80 is determined for the use in all facilities, including residential areas and such
facilities connected directly to an official supply network, which also supplies buildings and
residential buildings. (HF-emissions acc. to CISPR 11, class B)
Magnetic fields at the supply frequency should correspond to the typical values for business
and hospital environments.
Portable and mobile radios should not be used at a lower distance to the dermalight 80
including cables than the recommended security distance acc. To the table below:

IELDS OF APPLICATION AND THERAPY INFORMATION
4.1. F
IELDS OF APPLICATION
With the dermalight® 80 it is possible to carry out UVB-therapy, depending on the
indications.
Indications: Given the latest findings in photodermatology, this means that the following
indications can be treated with promise of success:
• Psoriasis
• Alopecia areata
• Vitiligo
• dermalight® 80 can be used for local irradiation of small circumscribed areas of skin all
over the body, for wrinkles and for the scalp
Contra-indications: Because there are no experiences in the case of pregnancy, you
should carry out a UV-therapy only after consulting your doctor in charge. The following
contra-indications are valid for all irradiation units:
• Hyperthyroidism
• Lupus erythematosus
• Tumorous skin changes
• Diseased hyperphotosensitivity (e.g. Xeroderma pigmentosa)
• Porphyrin disease
• Floride tuberculosis or other floride processes
• Accompanying medical treatment with potential skin damage or intensified
photosensitivity
4.2. T
HERAPY INFORMATION
The given therapy examples are to be seen as standard values and have to be ^co-ordinated
with your doctor.
In order to achieve a steady irradiation intensity at short irradiation times, the unit should be
switched on approx. 30 seconds before starting the therapy treatment.
For the therapy success it is essential to pre-treat your skin or scalp, i.e. to remove scale.
For the sake of simplicity we have based the following descriptions on skin type 2 (applies to
the majority of Central Europeans).
Guide values for skin type 2, first exposure :
approx. 60 seconds for each irradiated area of the body;
approx. 5-6 minutes for the entire hair-covered scalp.
Page 9
Dr. K. Hönle Medizintechnik GmbH
dermalight® 80 uva
B
EDIENUNGSANLEITUNGOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8
The duration of the first exposure for hair-covered scalp depends on the extent of the hair
covering and its thickness. The purpose of the comb is to part the hair and allow the UVirradiation to get through to the scalp (see Chapter 4.3. T
HERAPY RECOMMENDATION
).
The guide value for the percentage increase per exposure for skin type 2 is 25% to 30%.
In case of overdose (noticeable and visible sun burn or pronounced reddening
of the skin), shorten the irradiation period or discontinue treatment.
Guide values for the maximum final exposure time (to complete the irradiation treatment)
are:
approx. 3-4 minutes for each irradiated area or
approx. 2 times 20 minutes for the entire hair-covered scalp (f. ex. once in the
morning and once in the evening).
UV safety goggles guaranteeing 100% UV protection must be worn during
treatment. Suitable goggles are available from Dr. Hönle Medizintechnik (see
Chapter 6. S
PARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
).
Use sun lotion with a high sun block factor (≥15) on your forehead and on your
ears.
Irradiation intensity decreases as the lamps grow older. This means that you
must add an additional 10 - 20 % allowance to the exposure time after approx.
200 - 300 hours in operation. Remember to deduct this allowance again after
replacing the old lamps with new ones.
For greater uniformity of irradiation we recommend combing your hair during
exposure from left to right and then from the front to the back. Wear a glove on
the hand holding the unit to protect it from the UV radiation.
Skin type Description
1
light skin, red- or fair-haired, blue or green eyes, freckles
always quick sunburn; scarcely or no bronzing even after repeated
treatments (Celtic type)
2
fair-haired, blue, grey or green eyes
almost always sunburn; moderate bronzing after repeated treatments (fair
European type)
3
light brown or brown hair, brown eyes
moderately often sunburn; progressive bronzing after repeated treatments
(dark-skinned European type)
4
dark brown or black hair, brown eyes
