SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
HOW TO USE THIS REFERENCE GUIDE
This reference guide is designed to take you through set-up and proper use of your Zerona Z6 OTC
laser. It will cover Warnings and Precautions, Assembly, Proper Placement of Laser Diodes,
Treatment Protocol and Client Measurement Guidelines.
It is important that you read and understand all the information contained in this reference guide
before doing any treatments with the Zerona Z6 OTC laser. If you have any questions, contact our
Erchonia Customer Care representatives.
WHAT IS THE ZERONA Z6 OTC LASER?
The ZERONA Z6 OTC Laser is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment
for the reduction of body circumference.
The Zerona Z6 OTC laser delivers a new non-invasive fat loss procedure designed to slim the body
without surgery, pain or needles. The protocol allows clients to continue daily activity without
interruption.
Clinical data on safety and effectiveness has only been generated for waist, hips, thighs, upper
abdomen, and upper arms. Presently there does not exist clinical data on safety or effectiveness
for other parts of the body
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Zerona Z6 OTC laser works by using a patented and clinically proven low-level laser
technology. Each laser diode of the device emits visible red light (about 635 nanometer
wavelength). The laser emulsifies the fat, (defined as leakage of the fat out of the cell) within the
adipose tissue which is then released into the interstitial space. The excess fat is then passed
through the body during its normal course of detoxification.


Dispose of device in accordance with local and national regulations and codes. When
spent and beyond repair or functional use, the device can be sent back to the
manufacture for disposal. This ensures the proper separation and handling of all the
internal parts and reduces any risk to the end user and the environment.
DO NOT permit any foreign materials or liquids to enter the device. Take care to
prevent any foreign materials including, but not limited to, inflammables, water, and
metallic objects from entering the device. These may cause device damage,
malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or personal injury. To achieve the specified level of
protection against spilled or splashed liquids, unplug the device from the power supply
and thoroughly dry all exposed surfaces of this device and allow to dry thoroughly prior
to operation.
Avoid using the laser on skin that is infected, burned or cut, as this could cause
discomfort or irritation. Wait until the infection, burn or cut has healed before using the
laser. If the client has a skin condition, lack of skin sensitivity or are undergoing
professional cosmetic treatments, please check with their doctor or clinician before
using the laser.”
Laser treatment should not be applied over, or in proximity to (near), cancerous lesions
(such as moles and other suspicious skin markings unless known not to be cancerous).
There have not been conclusive tests that show if low level laser exposures on or near
cancerous lesions do or do not create a serious adverse effect.
