SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This Erchonia ® FX 635, model: HPS Operator’s Guide is designed to take you through set-up and proper use of your
device. It will cover the Device Overview, Operation, Cautions, Warnings, Professional Use Instructions and
Maintenance and Warranty Information.
It is important that you read and understand all of the information contained in this operator’s guide before performing
any treatments with the Erchonia ® FX 635.If you have any questions, contact our Erchonia Customer Care
representatives.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Erchonia® FX-635 (Model#: HPS) is low level laser system that uses three semi-conductor diodes (visible red-light)
630nm to 650nm with a mean power output of 17.25mW per diode. The Erchonia® FX-635™ (Model#: HPS) is a
variable hertz device. The variable hertz feature of the Erchonia® FX-635™ (Model#: HPS) is a pulsed wave, defined as
containing a selected series of breaks, variances that are preprogrammed. The Erchonia® FX 635 (Model#: HPS) has
been classified by the FDA/EC as a Class II device and a Class 2 Laser.
The components of the device include a mobile base which plugs into the wall, using a hospital grade power cord,
equipped with a medical grade transformer. Four (4) antistatic wheels that enable ease for maneuverability. A touch
screen that functions as a display screen and input panel. The touch screen communicates with the PCB to initiate, stop or
pause the energy flow to the laser diodes. The laser diodes can only be on or off; there is no user interface that allows the
end user to alter the laser diode output. The device has an adjustable main arm that is attached to the mobile base with
the laser head assembly located at the end. The adjustable main arm is capable to collapse into the mobile base for storage
and transporting or extends to position the laser heads above the area of involvement. The laser head assembly that is
attached to the adjustable main arm that is manually raised and lowered utilizes internal mechanics that collects the light
emitted from each of the three (3) laser diodes and processes each through a proprietary patented lens which redirects the
beam with a line refractor. The refracted light is then bent into a spiraling circle pattern that is totally random and
independent of the other diodes. When the laser head assembly is positioned 3-4 inches from the patient’s skin each diode
delivers .51J per minute. This assembly can be rotated 120 degrees for proper positioning to patient for accurate
treatment. The laser head assembly includes arms and pivots that allow the three (3) laser output heads to be rotated,
tilted, and raised / lowered independently. The device contains software that is loaded into the PCB drivers. This data
includes the touch screen images (GUI) and the command prompts that activate the screen icons; work in conjunction
with the component platform to ensure the device operates as intended. The exterior materials consist of 6061 T6 AL,
Kydex 430 and Copolymer Acetal with powder coating and carbon fiber finish.
