USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 2.4 Other Hazards Warning: Modifications of the device are not allowed. Operate the unit therefore only with original equipment, supplied by MEDlight. Warning: Do not store or operate the device in humid areas. The device must never be directly exposed to flowing or splashing liquid or water. Also, be careful when cleaning with a damp cloth to ensure that no liquid enters the device. Warning: The device must not be operated in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide or where flammable substances such as alcohol, fuel or similar substances are used. Caution: Make sure that the UV sensors of the cabin are not covered during the treatment. Especially with very large patients, make sure that there is always a minimum clearance of 5 cm (2\") between the patient and the cabin roof. Otherwise, the patient's head could interfere with the measurements of the UV sensors. Caution: Patients with a body weight of more than 180 kg (395 lb) must not be treated in this cabin. Caution: Lay the power cord so that there is no danger of tripping up a person. Caution: Ensure that the ventilation slots of the device are not covered, so that sufficient air circulation is ensured. Caution: For reasons of hygiene, we recommend to lay a new disposable paper towel on the floor plate of the cabin before each treatment. 3 OPERATION & HANDLING 3.1 Handling The device shall only be installed by authorised MEDlight technicians. A detailed device training usually takes place immediately after installation. Additional trainings can be arranged upon request. Plug the mains plug of the cabin in a protectively earthed CEE outlet which is fused with 16 amps fuses. As soon as the cabin is switched on via the green mains switch on the left side of the touch screen console and the touch screen booted up, the cabin is ready for use. Please, switch the device always off via the green mains switch, if the cabin is not in use for a longer time and at the end of each working day. To protect the cabin against unauthorised use is also recommended to set up a PIN code (see section 3.3.7). The well-structured menus of the touch screen allow an easy intuitive operation of the device. To navigate through the menus just tap the desired button or a menu or use swipe gestures to go back and forth between different menus.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION For enhanced safety and comfort during operation the onscreen navigation is accompanied by voice messages of the system. These voice messages warn you e.g. if certain dose levels are exceeded, and inform the patient about the remaining treatment time. When you open the cabin door and look up, you will see an oval casing mounted on top of the cabin roof. This casing holds the UV measuring unit of the cabin's dosimetry with a total of four sensors, which continuously monitor the irradiance of the UV tubes during treatments. This ensures a precise application of doses, even if the irradiance of the UV tubes changes, because the exposure times will be accordingly adjusted in real time by the dosimetry. The cabin door is equipped with a door contact which shuts off the UV tubes and pauses the treatment whenever the cabin door is opened. This protects the operator from UV exposure and allows the patient to interrupt the treatment if necessary. Inside the cabin are two long handrails to which the patient can hold on to during treatment. On the right handrail is a patient panel mounted, which is equipped with an emergency off ripcord switch. The end of the ripcord can be affixed to the patient's upper arm with the aid of a Velcro noose to automatically actuate the emergency off switch in case the patient collapses during treatment. In this event the UV tubes shut off and an audible alarm is activated. On top of the cabin is a patient fan mounted, that comes on automatically with the other fans of the cabin during treatment. This fan delivers an airstream which makes in particular longer treatments more comfortable for patients. In case a patient doesn't want this airstream, the patient fan can be switched off with the switch in the patient panel. 3.1.1 Optional Features The N-LINEpro cabin is network capable and therefore equipped with an according network connector on the rear side of the left cabin module. This allows to connect the cabin via a network cable (at least Cat6) to a Windows® PC from which it can be remotely operated in conjunction with the MEDlight SKINdex software. To prevent an unauthorised use of the cabin’s touch screen it is automatically locked during remote operation. Besides the remote operation of the cabin, the SKINdex software offers an extensive set of practice approved features for patient management and treatment planning. To keep in touch with patients also during remote operation, MEDlight offers an optional intercom system that enables a bidirectional communication via network. For this purpose the patient panel inside the cabin is already equipped with a microphone and a speaker. The microphone in the cabin becomes active at a certain sound threshold, and therefore works automatically as soon as the patient says something. Some patients might need special attention and therefore require to be checked from time to time during treatment. For this reason the cabin is equipped with a viewing window. To provide the same level of attention also during remote operation, MEDlight offers an optional surveillance camera for the N-LINEpro. The video signal is broadcasted via network, and can be viewed right in the SKINdex software.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 3.2 Operation 3.2.1 Stand-By Mode After switching on the device, the touch screen shows the display shown on the right. If your cabin is equipped with only one lamp type, only the output of the corresponding spectrum will be displayed. The green bar to the right of the mW/cm² value is for orientation with respect to the condition of the UV tubes. The more the UV tubes lose power over time due to wear, the more the green bar decreases. At very low output of the UV tubes, the colour of the bar then changes to red. In order to ensure an uninterrupted use of the cabin, it is advisable to replace the UV tubes when the green bar is only half the original length. To proceed with the selection of the desired therapy parameters, please press the CONTINUE button.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 3.2.5 Therapy During therapy, all relevant treatment parameters such as dose, treatment time and light output of the currently active UV tubes are displayed on the screen. The exposure time is calculated in real time according the actual UV output, which is continuously measured by four sensors. It is therefore normal that the displayed time is slightly bouncing instead of elapsing continuously in one-second increments. The end of the therapy is indicated by an acoustic signal, the UV tubes switch off automatically and the program returns to the menu described in section 3.2.1. Should it be necessary to cancel an ongoing therapy, you can do this by pressing the CANCEL TREATMENT button. In this case the lamps switch off immediately, and the program also returns to the menu described in section 3.2.1. However, if you only want to interrupt the treatment for a short while rather than to cancel it completely, press the SUSPEND THERAPY button or simply open the cabin door. In this case, the UV tubes switch off and the exposure time is paused. As soon as the SUSPEND THERAPY button is pressed again, respectively the door is closed, the UV tubes switch on again and the therapy continues. 3.3 Menus & Settings 3.3.1 Settings In this menu you can set the date and time and select the desired system language. The cabin has a notification system with spoken announcements. The user and the patient are thus provided with warning and safety instructions in a comfortable manner as well as useful information on the treatment (e.g. announcement of the remaining treatment time). This announcement system considerably increases the operational safety of the device and is therefore activated by default. If these announcements are not desired, they can also be deactivated by pressing the AUDIO NOTIFICATIONS button.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 3.4.4 UV Output Low The device is equipped with a so called dosimetry which continuously measures the irradiance during therapy, and adjusts the exposure time accordingly in real time. If this measuring system detects a fault during treatment, e.g. if some UV tubes or a sensor have failed or a sensor has been covered, the device aborts the treatment and a corresponding message appears on the display. In this case check if all UV tubes are actually working (see section 3.3.3). Afterwards carry out a test treatment without patient, which takes more than two minutes. Should the fault still persist after the test treatment, please contact the MEDlight service! 3.4.5 No Connection The touchscreen is connected to the controller of the cabin via an internal network connection. If communication over this network connection is interrupted, e.g. because a network cable or the internal network switch is defective, the message NO CONNECTION is displayed. In this case, contact an authorised MEDlight service technician immediately to resolve the issue.

Hölze, et Al. ‚Empfehlungen zur Phototherapie und Photochemotherapie‘ DDG Berlin 2009 6 SIDE EFFECTS 6.1 UVB – Side Effects The most common acute side effects include sunburn-like erythema after UVB irradiation. Without eye protection acute conjunctivitis and keratitis may occur. After UVB phototherapy, however, no reliable increase in the risk for basal cell carcinoma was so far observed. Recent works confirm this also for the narrowband-spectrum application in contrast to theoretical considerations that want to ascribe a 50% risk increase for carcinoma to the narrowband spectrum UVB therapy.

Hölze, et Al. ‚Empfehlungen zur Phototherapie und Photochemotherapie‘ DDG Berlin 2009 6.2 UVA – Side Effects The most common acute side effects are phototoxic reactions due to an overdose irradiation in the context of photochemotherapy. Without eye protection acute conjunctivitis, keratitis and for UVA or PUVA treatment a chronic cataract may occur. The provocation of photodermatoses, mainly polymorphic light eruption, is possible, particularly in the higher dosed UVA therapy. If inadvertently phototoxic substances or drugs are supplied externally or systemically, excessive phototoxic skin reactions may occur, especially in UVA treatments or photochemotherapy. Occasionally, a PUVA-itching may occur, which can therapeutically hardly be influenced, and sometimes leads to the discontinuation of the therapy. Rarely, acral blisters appear during PUVA treatment due to a loosening of the dermo-epidermal border zone with strong mechanical stress. The potential systemic toxicity of the photochemotherapy encompasses nausea after the tablet intake and occasional N-LINEpro_User Manual_2018-09-20.doc MEDlight GmbH Phone: +49 5221 99429-0 Page 20 of 30 Werrestr. 94 Fax: +49 5221 99429-40 32049 Herford e-mail: [email protected] Germany www.medlight.eu

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION headache or dizziness, caused by the photosensitizer. The nausea can be avoided by using of 5-MOP instead of 8-MOP. As chronic damage of the photo(chemo)therapy occur UV-induced lentigines, light-induced skin aging and especially the development of actinic keratoses and invasive squamous cell carcinomas. Statistically secured is the development of squamous carcinoma after systemic PUVA treatment with high cumulative UVA doses, or with a high number of individual treatments. In modern PUVA therapy, cancer risk is probably much lower than in the prospectively conducted American PUVA cohort from the 70s, because nowadays a much more careful patient selection is performed, and improved irradiation protocols with only rare excessive phototoxic reactions and the consequent use of combination therapies, and the avoidance of maintenance treatments lead to a significantly lower phototoxic burden of the skin. After bath PUVA treatments, an increased carcinoma risk has so far not been observed. This may be based on statistical deficiencies of the present studies, or a still too short follow-up period. Until this question is resolved, a strict indication selection for bath-PUVA therapy must be demanded. Basal cell carcinomas are probably not induced by the photo(chemo)therapy; controversial is the induction of melanoma due to PUVA treatment or higher dosed UVA irradiation.

This requires also particular demands on the participation of the patient. Besides the general guidelines, following recommendations apply:  A combination treatment with Cyclosporine A, has to be avoided.  Particular caution is advised for the pre-treatment with arsenic or X-rays, with concomitant use of photosensitizing drugs, with more pronounced liver damage (delays in metabolic insufficiency the sensitization phase, which must be taken into account) and at high cumulative UVA doses (more than 150-200 individual treatments). In some cases, these circumstances may constitute a contraindication.  Regarding the risk of combination with systemic fumarates, no field reports exist.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION  A combination of photochemotherapy with Methotrexate is possible. The rare reactivation of UV erythemas, due to MTX intake, must be taken into account.  Under treatment with Azathioprine, UVA may have a mutagenic effect by oxidative DNA damage. Source: Prof. Dr. E. Hölze, et Al. ‚Empfehlungen zur Phototherapie und Photochemotherapie‘ DDG Berlin 2009 7 TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1 Treatment Instructions Already before a treatment starts, and of course whenever the UV tubes are on, anyone in view of the device must wear protective UV blocking glasses. The patient must wear tightly fitting UV blocking goggles before the cabin is entered, and at all times during treatment. The operator must ensure that the patient takes the correct treatment position and remains in that position throughout the treatment. For this, the patient must stand on the corresponding foot markings of the floor plate and face the door. In addition, the patient should hold on to the handrails on the left and right of the door. As additional safety measure the Velcro noose of the ripcord emergency switch should be affixed to the right upper arm of the patient. The patient can turn the patient fan on or off himself as needed via the correspondingly marked switch in the patient panel. The patient must be instructed to stand as still as possible in the middle of the cabin, to ensure all around uniform exposure distances to the UV tubes during treatment. Special attention must be paid to very tall patients, who are 2 meter (6.5') or taller. There should always be a clearance of at least 5 cm (2\") between the head of the patient and the roof of the cabin. This ensures, that the head of the patient does not impair the measurements of the sensors, which could otherwise lead to interferences of the dosimetry. If necessary, the patient must slightly crouch down during treatment to ensure a sufficient distance to the sensors. For corpulent patients, it must be ensured that there's a distance of at least 15 cm (6\") between pronounced body areas (e.g. belly, buttocks) and the acrylic lamp covers, otherwise the shorter exposure distances might lead to partial erythemas. In order to avoid erythemas in these cases, a reduction of the required dose might be a viable option. However, patients with a body weight of more than 180 kg (395 lb) must not be treated in the N-LINEpro. 7.2 UVB – Treatment Recommendations In order to avoid any undesirable interaction between light and any topical preparations and to make full use of the photo therapeutically effect, the patient's skin should be free from such topical preparations before phototherapy is performed. Cutaneous scales should be thoroughly removed. At least 20-30 sessions will be necessary before disappearance of symptoms, depending on their clinical appearance. Irregularly performed treatments can impair or even jeopardize the therapeutically success. Regular treatment will assure a satisfactory healing process until symptoms disappear.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION There is no treatment scheme uniformly applicable to all patients. Phototherapy should always be adapted to the individual needs of a patient. All dosage indications are mean values which may vary according to skin condition and sensitivity. UVB – Initial Doses Skin Type UVB 311 nm (J/cm²) I 0.20 II 0.30 III 0.50 IV 0.60 Source: Prof. Dr. E. Hölze, et Al. ‚Empfehlungen zur Phototherapie und Photochemotherapie‘ DDG Berlin 2009 Depending on the photosensitivity of the patient and the clinical picture, the treatment dose can be individually further increased accordingly. Due to individual skin sensitivity, itching / skin irritation may occur following initial treatment. Patients should be informed of this prior to the commencement of therapy. Should itching / irritation occur, doses should not be increased for several days until these complaints have subsided. Emollient treatment of the skin is recommended after every phototherapy treatment. UVB 311 nm - Dose Examples Treatment scheme: Example for skin type II Day 1 0.30 J/cm² Day 6 0.60 J/cm² Day 2 0.35 J/cm² Day 7 0.60 J/cm² Day 3 0.40 J/cm² Day 8 0.70 J/cm² Day 4 0.45 J/cm² Day 9 0.70 J/cm² Day 5 0.50 J/cm² Day 10 0.80 J/cm² Depending on the individual response of the patient the dose can be accordingly increased in smaller or bigger steps. An increase of more than 0.2 J/cm² should never be exceeded. UVB - Follow-Up Treatment After the treated lesions have healed, treatment should be phased out using the protocol set out below. This gradual withdrawal is needed to achieve a prolonged recurrence-free period. 1st follow-up week: 3 x the last selected dose of the therapy 2nd follow-up week: 2 x the last selected dose of the therapy 3rd follow-up week: 1 x the last selected dose of the therapy 4th follow-up week: 1 x the last selected dose of the therapy N-LINEpro_User Manual_2018-09-20.doc MEDlight GmbH Phone: +49 5221 99429-0 Page 23 of 30 Werrestr. 94 Fax: +49 5221 99429-40 32049 Herford e-mail: [email protected] Germany www.medlight.eu

The initial phase of the treatment extends almost to the absence of clinical symptoms. Irradiations are carried out two to four times per week, but at least twice a week. Dose increases should not be made more frequently than at intervals of 72 hours (European PUVA protocol). There is no fixed scheme for dose increases, the essential parameters should be the response of the treated skin disorder and the individual sensitivity to photochemotherapy. A barely recognizable erythema is seen, as clinical indicator for an adequate UVA dosage. Ahead of each UV-treatment patients should be asked regarding subjective signs of intolerance or overdosage. The below described procedure has proven in practice.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Because of the risk of accumulation of the phototoxic effect of successive PUVA treatments due to the much-delayed phototoxic reaction, after two days of irradiation, an irradiation-free day is provided. This avoids strong excessive phototoxic reactions. Thus results in a scheme by which patients are treated on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday provide rest and observation days. During the initial phase, at least three treatments per week are desirable. During PUVA treatment occurs as a result of the increasing pigmentation and thickening of the epidermis, a habituation effect (tolerance). The extent of the tolerance development depends on the skin type. In patients with skin type I or II, the tolerance development is slow, therefore the dose should be increased very carefully. In patients with skin types III, IV, V and VI, the UV tolerance develops rapidly, accordingly quickly can the UVA dose be increased. To avoid an overdosing by accumulation, it must be taken into account for the dose adjustments, that the maximum PUVA erythema appears 72 to 120 hours after irradiation. Because of the higher level of sensibilization, the irradiation doses for bath PUVA treatments are generally lower. It has to be noted that the MPD can drop by up to 50% during the first therapy week, but later rises again. The reason for this is not known, it is believed that psoralen monoadducts persist in the DNA and being transformed in subsequent irradiations into phototoxic effective biadducts. Generally, it is recommended to increase in the bath PUVA treatment only once a week the dose. Source: Prof. Dr. E.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 8.3.1 Cleaning of Lamps & Lamp Covers A dust layer on the acrylic lamp covers and the UV tubes can reduce the irradiance. Therefore, it is recommended to wipe these parts clean whenever needed, preferably with a dry soft microfibre cloth. To remove an acrylic lamp cover you first need to open Unlock quick-release fasteners Remove acrylic lamp cover the black plastic caps of the two quick-release fasteners. Then unlock the fasteners by turning these by 90° e.g. with the aid of a coin. The other side of the acrylic cover is held by lugs which are inserted into the cabin module. Pull the open side of the acrylic cover slightly forward, then sideways to release the lugs out of the cabin module, as shown in the adjacent figure. 8.3.2 Cleaning underneath the Cabin For cleaning the floor under the cabin, the floor plate of the cabin can be removed. To do so open the cabin door, and unscrew the knob on the front side below the floor plate. Then lift the foot plate, with the rear side first, upwards from the base frame, and out of the cabin. 8.4 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) This device has been tested and found to comply with the EMC limits of the international standard EN 60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in a typical medical installation. The System can radiate radio frequency energy if not installed in accordance with the instructions, and may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the System does cause interference with other devices, which can be determined by turning the System off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: a) Re-orient or relocate the receiving device. b) Increase the separation between the equipment. c) Connect the system to an outlet socket on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected.

USER MANUAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 8.5 Spectral Ranges The device is available with the spectra UVA or UVB narrowband 311nm, and can be equipped with 40 lamps of the same type, or with a combination of two different spectra with 20 lamps each. Spectrum of UVA Lamps: Spectrum of UVA1 Lamps: Spectrum of UVB 311 nm narrowband lamps: 8.6 Accuracy The dosimetry of the device will maintain a 5% level of accuracy if the device is calibrated annually, or at least every one hundred (100) hours as recommended. The spatial variation of the output across the treatment area complies with EN 60601-2-57: 2011 and does not deviate by more than ±20% from the average irradiance. A reduced output greater than 20% is possible for the edges of the treatment area (ends of the UV tubes). 8.7 Maintenance & Repair MEDlight devices are high-quality medical devices for which an annual maintenance is strongly recommended. As part of the maintenance safety tests and measurements of the irradiance are carried out, which are necessary to ensure the safe functioning of the equipment. All work must be carried out only by an authorized MEDlight technician.
