The APOLLO AP2-DT Desktop Laser Therapy System: Apollo, the Greek God of Sun and Healing, brought warmth and life to Earth. Now the Apollo Engineering Team has harnessed these powerful forces to create state-of-the-art laser therapy devices at a popular price.
OUTWARD APPEARANCE APOLLO Desktop Laser Control Unit The APOLLO AP2-DT Desktop Control Unit is housed in an anodized, extruded-aluminum case. The LCD display, LED’s and switches are located on the top panel. The Laser Probe connectors & key switch are located on the front; the Remote Interlock and DC inlet are located on the back panel.
• Photosensitivity Reaction: Some drugs cause photosensitivity reactions. It is unlikely that the combination of the laser with a drug will trigger a response, however we suggest “at risk” patients or patients with a history of such reactions be “patch tested” for the minimum recommended Intended Use: The Apollo IR Heat Lamp System is intended to treatment time.

Turn the key in a clockwise direction to the ‘|’ position. The green ‘Power On’ LED will illuminate and the LCD display will come on. The display will show the startup screen which shows the version number of the software, for 4 seconds. The Display will then show the main menu screen, if no probes are connected.
Starting Treatment: Before beginning treatment read the entire manual and understand the Emission may also be stopped immediately by pressing the red ‘Emergency Stop’ precautions and treatment protocols to be followed. Specific treatment switch. This puts the unit into a “Fault” condition and the key switch will need protocols and precautions for each probe type are provided on pages 11-12 to be switched off and then back on to reset the Laser Unit.
TREATMENT PROTOCOL APOLLO Desktop Laser Control Unit Precautions and Treatment Protocol for Probe Type CAUTION: A higher probe power requires more movement of the probe during treatment, a technique call 'painting'. To maintain patient comfort and to reduce the chance of the patient feeling extreme heat during treatment, it is important that the clinician understands the proper technique and precautions to be followed for each probe type.
