Medical explanation of the effect of light therapy
Today we know that sun light acts like a natural clock for many of our physiological processes. Bright light travels in the
form of electric impulses via the eyes and the optical nerves to the nervous system's inner timer in our brain. This "time
giver" processes the information about light and darkness and instructs other parts of the brain to rhythmically distribute
chemical messengers. Bright light thus stimulates the production of chemical messengers which influences the mood and
suppresses the production of the body's sleep inducing hormone.
How to use the DAVITA
The light therapy boxes can be used for the following symptoms:
winter depression
non-seasonal affective disorder
premenstrual syndrome („PMS", "days before the days")
sleep disorders
Some basic information before using the light therapy units
Before use, kindly check that the instrument is in functional order and that there is no sign of damage. Phototherapy
instruments must only be operated in dry and closed rooms that are free of any explosion risks. The device is not suitable
for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. The instruments must
be standing free and should not be exposed to sun.
How to carry out light therapy
Place the instrument on an even surface and connect the plug with a wall socket. Sit down in front of the instrument and
keep a distance of approx. 55 cm in case of the LD 72 / LD 72-2, a distance of approx. 45 cm in case of the LD 110 and a
distance of approx. 50 cm in case of the PhysioLight LD 220. The treatment time with the LD 72 is at the above mentio-
ned distance approx. 2 hours, approx. 1 hour in case of the LD 110 and approx. 30 minutes in case of LD 220.
If you use the LD 72, LD 72-2 or LD 110 move the tilting switch to „On" and the device begins to glow. If you use the LD
220 you have to turn the control knob of the timer clockwise. Then the light therapy unit begins to glow. After the preset
application time has expired, the LD 220 switches off automatically. The LD 72, LD 72-2 and LD 110 must be switched off
manually.
Keep your eyes open during the treatment. You are in the position to read, watch TV or carry out any other activities.
After every 1 – 2 minutes you should look for a few seconds into the light source. A constant staring into the light source
must be avoided. If you want to cover the phototherapy instrument after use allow the instrument to cool down at least 15
minutes.
Important:: In order to be protected against UV-rays, the light box must only be operated with its original
protective filter in place.
