1 Intended use
The Polaris 2 device together with laser applicators is intended for performance
of laser irradiation treatment within the visible (for wave length 650 or 660 nm)
and invisible range (for wave length 808 nm).
Due to the available maximum radiation power output at the level of 400 mW
for wave length 808 nm and 50 mW for 660 nm, the Polaris 2 device together
with cooperating applicators is classifi ed as small power output laser device.
In physiotherapy such lasers are designated as „cold”, „soft” or bio-stimulating.
When we describe the impact of low energy laser radiation on tissues, we must
enumerate above all infl uence, which causes:
• improvement of micro-circulation
• stimulation of angiogenesis
• increase in amplitude of activity potentials with nerve fi bres
• increase in enzyme activity
• changes in potential of cell membranes
• changes in secretion of neurotransmitters, hormones and quinines
At the level of cells follows:
• acceleration of electrolyte exchange between cell and environment
• increase in biological activity
• anti-mutagen impact
• changes in liquid crystal structure of biological membranes
• increase in synthesis of collagen, proteins, RNA and ATP
Due to the wide range of impact laser may be applied to treat disorders on many
fi elds, among others in:
• sports medicine
• orthopaedics
• rheumatology
• neurology
• dermatology
An important factor of bio-stimulating laser activity is the missing heat eff ect,
which allows application for acute conditions.

inserted into the unit socket designated DOOR and when after switching
on the unit the right code was entered.
• Patient and operator must wear protective glasses during treatment.
• Do not look directly into the laser beam, also avoid looking on refl ected
rays.
• Avoid directing laser beam onto surfaces, which refl ect light.
• Each treatment procedure must be started at the moment, when laser
applicator is set in the right direction.
• It is recommended, that walls of room, where the laser is operated, disperse
to the greatest possible extent laser radiation incident on them. The colour of
walls must be so matched that the incident laser beam be visible. It should
be added that some surfaces, which disperse visible light, may refl ect infrared
radiation emitted by laser.
• It is recommended to operate the Polaris 2 unit, as far as possible, in a room
dedicated exclusively to performance of laser therapy treatment procedures.
If fulfi lling this recommendation is not possible, we suggest to separate
an area within the room used for diff erent purposes in such a way that no
emission of laser radiation outside the delimited area is possible.

5 DEVICE INSTALLATION AND START-UP
Example view of the display after selecting of function:
You can select laser applicator with keys . The selection is approved with
key. Then it is recommended to follow the instructions shown on the display.
To measure output laser power operator should light the sensor. It is recom-
mended to manipulate point applicators or external sensor (during scanner
output laser power measurements) to obtain maximum value of measured
power.
During measurement the measured value is presented on the display:
• laser output power – fi eld PWR – actual for point laser probes and scanner
• current consumption – fi eld I – only for point laser probes
• peak current for maximum measured laser output power – fi eld IM – only
for point laser probes
To facilitate fi nding maximum laser output power characteristic sound is emit-
ted. Sound emerges when actually measured power has higher value than value
measured in previous measuring cycle.
If measured power is diff erent more than ±20 % from nominal power it is
recommended to repeat measurement. The cause of incorrect indication of emit-
ted power output may be:
• fault of laser applicator
• wrong illumination of sensor with laser radiation
In case, when results of fi ve consecutive measurements at the second stage
are incorrect, contact service personnel.

Electromagnetic environment – guidance
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Polaris 2, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance d = 1,2 √Pd = 1,2 √P 26 MHz to 800 MHzd = 2,3 √P 800 MHz to 2,5 GHzwhere P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fi xed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site surveya, should be less than compliance level in each frequency rangeb.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.
Indications and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic immunity
The Polaris 2 laser therapy unit is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or user should assure that the Polaris 2 laser therapy unit is used in such an environment.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aff ected by absorption and refl ection from structures, objects and people.a Field strengths from fi xed transmitters, such a base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Polaris 2 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the unit should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the unit.b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, fi eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m..

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and Polaris 2 laser therapy unit
The Polaris 2 unit is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the unit can help prevent electromagnetic interference by main-taining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Polaris 2 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the commu-nications equipment.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the trans-mitter in watts (w) according to the transmitter manufacturer.NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aff ected by absorption and refl ection from structures, objects and people.
