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.

3 OPERATIONAL SAFETY

3 Operational safety

The Polaris 2 was designed using state-of-the-art electronic components, in com-

pliance with recent trends within world medical electronics. Special attention

has been paid to assurance of optimal operational safety, both for the patient

and operating personnel.

The device features casing of quality plastics. A keyboard has been applied,

which is totally covered with plastic fi lm of high resistance. Special sockets have been

used for connection of cables between laser applicators and the unit. The cables

feature pins covered with plastics.

Due to the applied means the patient and personnel can in no way get in contact

with metal parts, which are connected with the electronic system. Maximum

protection against electric shock protection is thus provided.

3.1 Mains supplyThe Polaris 2 unit belongs to stationary and mobile devices when cooperates

with point laser applicators only or to stationary device when cooperates

with laser scanner. It is designed for supply from AC mains with rating 230 V

±10 %, 50 Hz. It is a medical device under safety class I, type BF. The unit features

very high value insulation resistance and very small leakage currents. The unit

may be used only in rooms, where the electric system is executed in compliance

with standards in force.

3.2 Storage, operation and transport conditionsThe Polaris 2 unit must be stored in closed rooms, where the atmosphere is free

from vapours and caustic substances and:

• the temperature is maintained between +5°C and +45°C

• relative humidity does not exceed 75 %

3.3 Warnings and safety notices• The Polaris 2 unit may only be operated by qualifi ed personnel in compliance

with instructions presented further in this manual.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected

to supply mains with protective earth.

• No modifi cation of this equipment is allowed.

• Unit operation with laser applicators is only possible, when DOOR plug is

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.

• It is recommended to mark the room, where laser therapy treatment

procedures are performed, with warning labels and information delivered

together with the unit.

• The treatment station (bed, couch) shall be located away from other electric

devices and water supply/sewerage installation/central heating system,

so that it is impossible for the patient to touch any of them during treatment

procedure.

• Do not remove warning signs and labels put by the manufacturer on unit

casing and casings of laser applicators.

• It is recommended to connect to the DOOR socket, located in the right side

wall of the unit, with delivered plug (plug with DOOR symbol) the connector of

remote lock of the door of the room, where treatment is performed. To obtain

additional information, contact manufacturer’s service.

• In case, when the User does not intend to mount in the door the remote

lock connector, its task is completely fulfi lled by DOOR plug.

• Point laser applicators may be operated according to contact or contact

free method, laser scanner works contact free method only.

• Please take special care when handling laser applicator lens, do not hit it

against hard surfaces, and avoid scratches. Mechanical damage of lens

may cause reduction in power output of laser radiation emitted by probe.

• Avoid exposing the unit and laser applicators to impact of high temperatures

and atmospheric conditions.



• The unit is intended for continuous operation. It is not necessary to switch

it off from the mains between particular treatment procedures.

• It is recommended that the Polaris 2 unit, when it is not operated, be switched

off to protect against operation by unauthorised personnel.

• Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.

• The unit must be operated exclusively together with accessories, spare

parts, consumables, which are known to be safe and appropriate inspection

authorities did not make any reservations about them.

• It is recommended to use original accessories, spare parts and equipment

of Astar ABR Company. Use of accessories other than recommended

by the manufacturer may result in reduction of resilience and raise in unit

emissions in regard with electromagnetic interference.

• Avoid penetrating of any liquid inside the unit and laser applicators. In case

of liquid penetrating inside unit switch the unit off immediately, separate

from the mains and contact Astar service for inspection.

3.4 Eye protectionAstar ABR recommends wearing one of the following types of protective gog-

gles, which ensure appropriate safety level for the patient and user during

laser therapy treatment procedure:

requirements of EN207 standard, feature CE marking and declaration of conformity).

3.5 Explosion proof environmentPolaris 2 is not adapted to operation in rooms, where combustible gases or their

vapours occur. It is recommended to avoid anaesthetic or oxygen derivate gases,

such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and oxygen. Some materials (e.g. cotton, wool) may

after saturation with oxygen become combustible at high temperatures generated

with normal operation of equipment. It is recommended that solutions of adhesive

and combustible solvents be vaporised before equipment is operated. It is also

recommended to pay attention to the danger of ignition of endogenous gases.

The unit must be separated from the mains before approaching the disinfection

of the room, where it is installed.

3.6 Protection against impact of electromagnetic fi eldSimultaneous operation of the device and equipment generating strong elec-

tromagnetic fi eld, such as short wave and micro wave diathermies, may disturb

unit operation. For that reason keep appropriately big distance between them

5.4.1 Laser power measureThis function enables checking if the power output of laser radiation emitted

by laser applicators is correct.

To measure output laser power of the point applicators use radiation sensor

on the keyboard. To measure output laser power of the scanner use external

radiation sensor available as an optional equipment.

External radiation sensor should be connected to socket symbol placed

on the back side of scanner casing.




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.

sequences. The unit includes a base of several dozens of most frequently met

disorders together with suggested treatment types and parameters. The list of all

diseases with parameters is included in Appendix A and B at the end of the manual.

Parameter values of treatment programs, treatment sequences and acupuncture

programs are selected on the basis of available literature data and determined

as average values. Sole responsibility for application of preset programs rests with

the user.

6.1.1 Preset treatment laser probes programsPreset treatment programs are dedicated for point laser applicators and

are divided into two groups:

• intended for laser applicators of PM-IR type – items 1-30

• intended for laser applicators of PM-RD type – items 31-50


In case, when no probe of a particular type is connected to the unit, not items from

the list of preset programs will be displayed, which are intended for that type

of applicators.

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.
