The newly released Ultralite model HF2000 series hand foot system replaces the current model HF 1200D.

As with the previous model the intensity levels will be from 3 to 6 times the best output levels of any competitor. Not only are the treatment times shorter, but effective lamp life is two to four times greater. This will give the user significant cost and maintenance savings. Usually the operating costs are so low compared to competing equipment that the savings in replacement lamps alone will more than pay for the unit itself.

As always, the Ultralite hand foot system will irradiate both sides of the hands and feet simultaneously and will control the exposure with a precise dosimetry system.

The new design grew from the highly successful machine we have had on the market for nearly twenty years. The improvements allow the machine to be more compact and more versatile.

The dimensions of the unit are 30" wide, 52" high, and 26" deep - shipping weight is approximately 100 pounds. Each unit is factory assembled with an integral stand with casters to allow easy movement when required. The integral stand is far more rigid and sturdy than any other system and permits the complete unit to be positioned close to a wall or office furniture on any of three sides. The design eliminates the possibility of obstructing the cooling air flow path and minimizes floor space requirements. Patients of almost and body structure can be comfortably treated using a standard office chair with height adjustment.

The more compact design gives equivalent intensities using 10 lamps total for each section instead of the previous 12. This results in additional maintenance savings and lower operational cost.

In addition the revised structure allows easier routine servicing and the ability to use the same machine for either UVA, UVB broadband, or UVB narrowband therapy. It is recommended that if more than one type of therapy is to be performed at a location on a regular basis that one system be dedicated to each. However, if the need arises to switch from one type of therapy to another the only steps required to make the changeover will be to replace the lamps with the appropriate type of lamps and calibrate the system to the new wavelength. This changeover will not necessarily require a field service visit by an Ultralite technician.
