Abstract
A phototherapy device includes a light source for emitting light of a suitable wavelength and a programmable controller connectable to the light source for controlling the power supplied to the light source. A programming key is associated with the programmable controller for programming the programmable controller to control the power supplied to the light source during use. The controller is programmable to control the operating configurations only when the programming key is in communication with the controller.
Claims20
A phototherapy device comprising:
- a light source for emitting light of a suitable wavelength;
- a programmable controller connectable to the light source for controlling the power supplied to the light source;
- and
- a programming key associated with the programmable controller for programming the programmable controller to control the power supplied to the light source during use, said controller being programmable to create or modify operating configurations only when said programming key is in communication with said controller.
A method of programming a phototherapy device comprising a programmable controller and a light source connectable to said programmable controller, the method comprising:
- locating a programming key in communication with a programmable controller, the controller being programmable only when said programming key is in communication with said controller;
- inputting data relating to power supplied to the light source during use;
- and
- removing said programming key from communication with said programmable controller.
A programmable controller for use with a light source in phototherapy treatment, the programmable controller comprising an enclosure housing a random access memory, an input interface, an output interface, a processor, a communication interface and a memory in communication over a local bus, wherein the programmable controller is programmable to create or modify operating configurations only when a programming key is in communication with the programmable controller via the communication interface.
