Device Description
The
Wellray®
Medical
Laser,
Inc.
Softcure
TM
96
is
a
therapeutic
medical
device
using
wavelengths
of
monochromatic
light
produced
by
semiconductor
laser
diodes
to
treat
a
variety
of
musculoskeletal
concerns.
The
Softcure
TM
96
is
a
portable
and
wearable,
battery
powered,
software
controlled
device
intended
for
use
on
the
body
such
as
the
back,
legs,
chest,
arms
or
other
areas
where
therapeutic
light
may
be
beneficial.
A
flexible
panel,
drawing
power
through
an
electrical
cable
from
a
carryable
battery
pack,
emits
red
(635nm)
light
by
means
of
semiconductor
laser
diodes
to
the
desired
body
area.
The
flexible
panel
is
designed
to
conform
to
the
contour
of
the
treatment
site
providing
uniform
treatment
dosage
over
non-planar
body
physique.
The
semiconductor
laser
diodes
are
monitored
for
temperature
and
light
output
by
a
microprocessor
and
cooled
by
variable
speed
fans
to
ensure
the
optimum
light
output.
The
lasers
are
allowed
to
energize
only
when
four
separate
fail-safe
monitoring
systems
sense
that
the
flexible
panel
is
brought
into
close
contact
with
the
user’s
body
and
that
the
power
supply
is
operating
correctly.
These
fail
safe
systems
include
capacitive
proximity
sensors,
body
temperature
sensors,
an
ambient
light
sensor
and
reference
voltage monitoring.
