Safety Check - Davita LD 72 Mode D'emploi

Fastening of light therapy units LD 72 and LD 110 on the wall
The light therapy units LD 72 and LD 110 can be mounted on the wall.
On the back side of the top of these light therapy units there is an opening in the middle below the air vents (see illustration).
The base of the light therapy units LD 72 and LD 110 must be unscrewed before the fastening. Therefore the right and the
left thumb screw must be completely removed from the foot. So the foot can be removed completely from the upper part of
the unit. Afterwards the screws have to be screwed in for safekeeping.
Operation of the light therapy units with the DAVITON
®
The activated DAVITON (not included in the scope of delivery) reminds you with an acoustic signal every 90 seconds to
look for 3 seconds direct into the light source.
Frequency and time of treatment
If the treatment takes place at your practitioner it should initially be carried out 5 times per week for a period of 2 – 3 weeks;
thereafter, 3 times per week for a period of 2 – 3 weeks. After that, the treatment should take place as needed or when the
symptoms occur again. At home, the treatment can take place daily, especially during autumn and winter time. The best
treatment time for winter depression is the early morning or the time of the lowest mood.
Side effects and contraindications
By using phototherapy the following side effects have been observed: Headaches, nausea, irritability and burning of the
eyes can occur rarely for a short period. An absolute contraindication that means circumstances that do not allow the use
of light therapy units is not known so far.
Please take care in case of all types of eye diseases and the eye specialist should be consulted before. In case of patients
being under treatment with lithium or medicine for example Fluoxetine, Imipramine et al., which increase the sensibility of
the eyes on light a supervision of the light therapy by an eye specialist could be considered.
