DAAVLIN Offers Dosimetry Systems in Phototherapy Home Units

May 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Daavlin offers home phototherapy devices with a type of control called integrating dosimetry.  Integrating dosimetry systems assure prescribing doctors that the programmed dosages received by their home patients have the same degree of consistency and safety as if delivered by the professional systems used in clinics, hospitals and physicians’ offices.  

Daavlin's home products are offered with built-in with integrating dosimetry systems, trademarked the Daavlin Flex™.  The doctor first prescribes a treatment plan that is appropriate for the treatment of psoriasis or other photoresponsive skin disease.  These treatment plans consist of carefully escalating doses of light which are then programmed into the home unit.  As the patient uses the device, a monitoring system measures the amount of light being produced and then automatically adjusts the treatment length appropriately to ensure that exactly the programmed dosage is delivered.  
There are a number of factors that affect the amount of light being produced by a phototherapy device, such as the age of the lamps or the temperature in the room.  Daavlin’s Flex dosimetry system takes the worry away from doctors about over- or under-dosing ultraviolet light when prescribing home units.

While phototherapy sessions are often carried out in clinics, some patients may be unable to dedicate the time and energy required for in-clinic treatments.  For qualified patients, self-administrated treatments at home may be the only hope of taking advantage of the time tested and well documented health benefits offered by phototherapy.  Daavlin makes it especially easy for doctors to prescribe home units for those patients who find it more comfortable or convenient to treat the disease in the privacy of their homes. Apart from such special features as integrating dosimetry, the company also offers full insurance processing for the patient and can also ship products directly to the patient. The company requires a prescription and letter of medical necessity from the doctor before delivering units to patients.
