Action National Biological sent an "Important safety reminders for your Houva DermaSense phototherapy device" letters, dated 2/11/08 to users. It states that the user should collect a "Profile" of the light energy and record it on a daily/weekly flow chart. The chart should be in plain view so each operator can clearly determine the units output. If an error message appears in the display panel, treatment should not be continued unless the phototherapy booth operator was able to identify and correct the cause of the error. Make sure both breakers are in the "ON" position before starting up the unit each morning and before giving treatment.
