- Small and handy device
The ease of use and interpretation of the results turn this device into an indispensable aid for photo testing. The MED-Tester Mini is available with narrowband or broadband UVB.
The under forearm, back, or buttock are suitable areas for testing, as these are areas not normally exposed to UV from the sun. The exposure occurs in minutes, depending on the UV source.
The optimum starting dose for a UV treatment can be evaluated 16-24 hours later, forming a reliable and safe basis for the phototherapy treatment protocol.
The human skin changes its photosensitivity along with the season and the physiological state of the body system. Therefore, it is recommended to check the photosensitivity before planning a therapy.
When using the MED-Tester Mini, the practitioner is able to accurately determine the maximum initial dose for a given patient, thereby reducing the total accumulated dose whilst optimizing the therapeutic result.
