1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE

Intended use of the device:
BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser is non-invasive therapeutic device. BTL-6000-High Intensity Laser is intended to
emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical stimulation of the biological tissue. This tissue stimulation
results in local acceleration of healing, increase of metabolism and analgesic reaction. High Intensity Laser is
indicated in cases of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Device description:
The device is equipped with a colour touch screen on the main unit which considerably simplifies its use. The
touch screen is equipped with a stylus (touch-pen) for easy operation of the device. Horizontal orientation of the
device allows the information on the screen to be seen clearly from different servicing positions. Additionally, the
brightness of the screen can be set to match the lighting in the room of the office or the health-care centre. The
on-screen information will guide the user step-by-step through the entire therapy process. The therapeutic
parameters are easily set using the touch screen buttons and knobs/keys on the device.
Therapy is simply started by selecting a diagnosis from an alphabetized list of treatment protocols or by selecting
a therapy program. The treatment parameters can be manually set using the touch screen buttons. Throughout
the therapy the user is informed about the remaining time of the therapy and remaining dosage to be applied.
These values are automatically calculated from the parameters that can be set by the user: operation mode
(continuous or pulsed), frequency, treatment area and power output.
A time-saving feature of the BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser is the list of predefined programs stored in the
memory of the main unit. Based on detailed research and practical use of the device, the well-organized
predefined programs will provide recommendations for the treatment of various conditions.

1.1 BTL6000 HIGH INTENSITY LASER

The device consists of three parts: main unit, handpiece and footswitch control.

Laser Unit: BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser contains the main microcomputer and software for controlling
the entire system. It also includes the user encyclopaedia and the therapy guide. The unit is password
secured and safety interlock is obligated to be connected.

Handpiece: ergonomic and extremely light-carrying handpiece with three removable ending spacers for
precise adjustment of the treatment area. The laser light is delivered to the handpiece from the main unit
using a permanently attached optical fibre.

Footswitch control: for safety reasons the units laser source can only be activated via foot switch control.

1.2 LASER LIGHT AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

The word LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
The first theoretical postulates on a laser beam were laid down by Albert Einstein in the early twentieth century,
describing the theoretical possibilities of a stimulated emission of light in 1916-1917. However, the first laser unit
was not constructed until 1960, following other important discoveries in the area of the so called quantum radio
technique (N.G. Basov and A.M. Prokhorov of the former USSR and C.H. Townes of the USA received a Nobel
Prize for these discoveries in 1964).
The medical application of laser light followed soon after. E. Mester, a Hungarian scientist, was the first to
introduce the stimulative effect of laser. He conducted his experiments - which are still of a great importance - in
the late 1960s.

BTL-6000 HIGH INTENSITY LASER USERS MANUAL | PAGE 4 OF 33

Laser radiation has specific qualities:

Total Monochromacy: maintaining only one wavelength

Full Polarization: waves are absolutely spatially oriented on a defined area

Coherency: it is absolutely oriented in time - maxima and minima of all waves are identical in time and the
waveforms are the same

Laser light source classification:

Laser sources are classified according to their wavelength and maximum output power into classes marked 1,
1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B and 4. The higher class number the more potent the laser is. The classes 1, 1M, 2, 2M and 3R
are mostly used in industrial applications. In medicine, lasers class 3B and 4 are used.
Since E. Mester in late sixties explored the biostimulative effect of laser therapy, this type of treatment underwent
great technical development. In previous decades so called Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LLLT, class 3B)
became extremely popular for its biostimulative effects. But the latest research and clinical experiences show that
with increasing the power and dosage using the class 4 lasers the therapeutic effect can be multiplied. Apart from
this class 4 lasers compared to LLLT have the ability to penetrate into almost unlimited depth of the body.

1.3 SOURCES OF THE LASER LIGHT

There are several types of laser light generators used in the therapy of musculoskeletal apparatus. These laser
light sources differ mainly in the various technical characteristics. BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser unit uses diode
laser light source which emits light in the near infrared light spectrum.

1.4 BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY LASER

High Intensity Laser therapy has strong influence on the human tissues. The most considerable clinical effects
are:

Analgesic effect

Biostimulation effect

Antiphlogistic effect

Antioedematous effect

Vasodilatation effect

All these effects are based on positively established and verified mechanisms:

Acceleration of microcirculation

Activation of Melzack gate control mechanism pain perception inhibition

Increase of intracellular activity of many enzymes, particularly in Krebs cycle

Increased oxygen circulation, improved glucose utilization

DNA synthesis stimulation (via phytohemaglutinin stimulation)

Increased fibroblast activity (for keloid scars these activated fibroblasts are able to perform resorption of
fibrin)

Phagocytosis activation

Activation of the Na/K pump on the membrane

BTL-6000 HIGH INTENSITY LASER USERS MANUAL | PAGE 5 OF 33

Activation of metabolic processes in the cell: partly through the Na/K pump and Ca transport affection,
partly through direct activation of the mitochondrial system

Changes of local level of important mediators - inflammatory (histamine substances, prostaglandins) or

e.g., endorphins

1.5 ADVANTAGES OF HIGH INTENSITY LASER TREATMENT

Extremely well targeted application into defined therapeutic area and depth of the tissue

Strong analgesic effect without pharmacotherapy needed

Possibility to prevent surgical intervention and its related risks

Highly positive clinical outcomes, with long lasting effects

1.6 POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY LASER TREATMENT

Erythema can temporarily occur in the treated area
Temporary hyposensitivity
Temporary hypersensitivity
Petechiae

1.7 CONTRA-INDICATIONS FOR HIGH INTENSITY LASER TREATMENT

1.7.1

1.7.2

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Applications in the area of eyes possibility of direct eye irradiation and retina damage

Tumorous diseases, irradiation of malignancies and potential precancerous growths

Irradiation of patients with cochlear implants

Irradiation of endocrine glands

Patients with febrile conditions

Epilepsy

Pregnancy

Irradiation of freckles

Tattoos avoid treatment of sites that have tattoos

Sensational deficit in the treatment area

Photosensitive medication

Direct application above metallic implants

OTHER WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Use clinical assessment to determine all aspects of treatment including, but not limited to, the laser treatment
protocol, technique, power settings, pulse duration and interval settings and other procedural requirements. Some
of the situations where the special precautions are required:

All the patients should receive skin type assessment according to Fitzpatrick (see 1.7.3). The therapy
parameters have to be adjusted accordingly to this assessment.

BTL-6000 HIGH INTENSITY LASER USERS MANUAL | PAGE 6 OF 33

Scar tissue is associated with poor circulation and reduced cooling through heat transport by blood. Power
settings may have to be reduced to avoid heating.

Tender or Sensitive Skin: Patient may be hypersensitive to heat. Reduce power as necessary to ensure
comfort during treatment.

Swelling/inflammation: Patient may be sensitive to heat. Reduce power as necessary to ensure comfort
during use.

Redness: can be associated with increased temperature and an increase in absorption properties of the
skin. Reduce power as low as necessary to maintain comfort during use.

Excessive fat tissue is known to transmit heat without much attenuation. Reduce power as necessary.

Implants: Different materials will respond differently to the laser energy and heat. Be aware of any implants
and location. Avoid direct exposure of the implant site to laser or heat.

No ointments, creams, lotions or heating lotion patches should be used at the site or on close proximity.

No therapies that could change body temperature (ultrasound, thermotherapy and electrotherapy) should
be used prior to laser treatment.

No treatment over the articles of clothing. Only direct application to the uncovered skin surface is
acceptable.

All persons present in the operatory must wear protective laser eyewear.

Do not look directly into the beam or at accidental reflections.

All reflective materials and windows in the treatment room must be covered in order to prevent reflection of
the laser beam or unwanted irradiation outside.

WARNING: Do not aim the laser at metallic or reflective surfaces. If aimed directly at these surfaces, the laser
beam will reflect and create a potential hazard.
WARNING: Patients must be monitored for pain or discomfort throughout the entire procedure. In case the patient
does not tolerate the therapy, discontinue the treatment immediately.

1.7.3

SKINT TEST EVALUATION ACCORDING TO FITZPATRICK

The Fitzpatrick Scale (Fitzpatrick skin typing test or Fitzpatrick phototyping scale) is a numerical classification
schema for the colour of skin. It was developed in 1975 by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, a Harvard dermatologist, as a
way to classify the response of different types of skin to UV light.
All patients should receive orientation skin test assessment according to Fitzpatrick prior to the treatment. The
Fitzpatrick Scale:

Type I Skin white; very fair; freckles; typical albino skin. - Always burns, never tans

Type II Skin white; fair. - Usually burns, tans with difficult

Type III Skin beige; very common. - Sometimes mild burn, gradually tans to a light brown

Type IV Skin beige with a brown tint; typical Mediterranean Caucasian skin. - Rarely burns, tans with ease
to a moderate brown.

Type V Skin dark brown - Very rarely burns, tans very easily

Type VI Skin black - Never burns, tans very easily, deeply pigmented.

Important: Patients evaluated as skin type V. and VI. must be treated with special precautions. Patients with skin
type V. and VI. may be treated only with pulsed laser light. Monitoring of discomfort and unpleasant sensations of
warming must performed during the whole treatment procedure with special care!

2.8 COURSE OF THERAPY

2.8.1

START, INTERRUPTION AND END OF THERAPY

For safety reasons the therapy can be only started by performing two consequent steps.
First, press the start button on the screen and the therapy window will open. The device will start emitting the
red aiming beam from the handpiece. The aiming beam marks approximately the treatment area and indicates to
the user that the device is ready to start the therapy. Note that the footswitch must be released and the safety
interlock must be connected while pressing the start button.
In the second step, the emission of the laser light is activated by pressing down the footswitch control. When the
footswitch control is pressed down, the therapy laser light is emitted:
1.

In analgesic and biostimulation mode the laser light will be emitted until the footswitch control is
released. The therapy in progress is indicated by the device by yellow backlight around the laser stop
button and by beeping sound.

2.

In single pulse mode by pressing the footswitch control, the device will emit one laser light pulse.
During the pulse generation, the backlight around the laser stop button is yellow and the device makes
a beeping sound. Hold the footswitch until the pulse generation is complete. For another emission the
footswitch control must be pressed again.

During the therapy the device continues to emit the red aiming beam.
The therapy laser is invisible to human eye.

To stop the laser emission before the therapy is over, release the footswitch control. To interrupt/pause the
therapy press pause button on the therapy screen. To resume the interrupted paused therapy press the
continue key on the screen. To stop the therapy, press esc.
The laser power can also be changed during therapy by turning the select knob to the right to increase the
intensity or to the left to decrease the intensity.

technique, maintenance, verification of proper functioning and safety precautions associated with using the
device.

Protect the device against unauthorized use. The device can be protected by switching the device off (a
password is required to switch on the device) or by removing the supplied safety interlock from the
connector on the back of the unit.

Do not operate in the presence of explosive or flammable materials. Flammable anaesthetics or oxidizing
gases such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and oxygen should be avoided. Solvents of adhesives and flammable
solutions used for cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to evaporate before laser is used. Attention
should also be drawn to the danger of ignition of endogenous gases.

All persons present in the operatory must wear protective laser eyewear. Use only protective eyewear
designed for the BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser. Periodically inspect the protective eyewear for any damage.
Do not use damaged protective eyewear!

For replacement or additional protective laser eyewear, please use only eyewear from your authorized
dealer.

Do not look directly into the beam or at specular reflections.

All reflective materials and windows in the treatment room must be covered in order to prevent reflections of
the laser beam or unwanted radiation outside the room.

WARNING: Do not aim the laser at metallic or reflective surfaces, such as surgical instruments. If aimed
directly at these surfaces, the laser beam will reflect and create a potential hazard.

The device does not use any drugs, creams, gels or other substances which are an integral part or which
are applied by its use.

Use only accessories supplied by the manufacturer. Accessories from other manufacturers will not work with
the device and might damage it.
