Physician-Prescribed Dose Schedule

Placeholder: every home unit session follows a clinician-set dose plan.

  • MED: Starting dose basis (Placeholder short caption)
  • ~10%: Dose increase step (Placeholder short caption)
  • 4 wk: Review interval (Placeholder short caption)
  • Required: Prescriber sign-off (Placeholder short caption)

Dose plan basics

Placeholder: physician sets starting dose and increase schedule.

Placeholder: never adjust dose without clinician approval.

Eye and Genital Protection Equipment

Placeholder: goggles and shielding are mandatory every session.

  • >99.9%: Goggle UV block (Placeholder short caption)
  • Always: Genital shield use (Placeholder short caption)
  • Optional: Face shield (Placeholder short caption)
  • Each use: Equipment check (Placeholder short caption)

Protective gear checklist

Placeholder: fit goggles and shielding before powering the unit.

Placeholder: unprotected eyes risk permanent UV damage.

Timer-Controlled Exposure Duration

Placeholder: automated timers prevent accidental overexposure.

  • Auto cutoff: Timer type (Placeholder short caption)
  • High: Manual override risk (Placeholder short caption)
  • 1-5 min: Typical session (Placeholder short caption)
  • Low: Overexposure margin (Placeholder short caption)

Automated timer role

Placeholder: automated shutoff is safer than manual timing.

Placeholder: manual-only timing raises burn risk substantially.

Session Log and Dose Tracking

Placeholder: each session is logged to track cumulative UV dose.

  • 4: Log fields (Placeholder short caption)
  • Yes: Cumulative tracking (Placeholder short caption)
  • Auto: Missed session flag (Placeholder short caption)
  • 1 year: Data retention (Placeholder short caption)

Why logging matters

Placeholder: logs let clinicians track dose trends over time.

Placeholder: incomplete logs hide cumulative overexposure risk.

Remote Monitoring Check-In Schedule

Placeholder: scheduled remote check-ins keep clinicians informed.

  • Biweekly: Check-in frequency (Placeholder short caption)
  • Telehealth: Review method (Placeholder short caption)
  • Photo log: Skin check (Placeholder short caption)
  • Adverse event: Escalation trigger (Placeholder short caption)

Remote check-in role

Placeholder: check-ins catch problems before they worsen.

Placeholder: missed check-ins delay detection of skin issues.
