The console, two pairs of laser protective eyewear, the patient stop switch and the user manual on CD. The applicator is sold separately: the diodes live in it, so the unit emits only once one is fitted. Eight Vectra laser applicators are available, from a single 850 nm laser diode to a 33-diode cluster.

A single diode for trigger point work, a cluster for a larger area. Higher power probes allow a shorter treatment time or a higher dosage, and the 9, 13 and 33-diode clusters cover bigger muscle groups and joints. The head you fit sets both the output, 100 to 1440 mW, and the wavelength, 670 to 950 nm.

Do not use it: where analgesia may mask progressive pathology; for direct aim into the eyes of humans or animals; over areas injected with steroids in the past 2-3 weeks; over areas that are suspicious or contain potentially cancerous tissue; over areas of active hemorrhage; over a pregnant uterus; over the neck (thyroid or carotid sinus region) or chest (vagus nerve or cardiac region of the thorax); directly over areas with open wounds, unless covered with a clear protective barrier; over sympathetic ganglia; for symptomatic local pain relief unless etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome has been diagnosed; on patients suspected of carrying serious infectious disease and or disease where it is advisable, for general medical purposes, to suppress heat or fevers; over or near bone growth centers until bone growth is complete; over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker; over or applied to the eye; or on ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular disease where the blood supply would be unable to follow the increase in metabolic demand and tissue necrosis might result. Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device must not be treated with or be in close proximity to any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy, therapeutic laser diathermy or laser diathermy anywhere on their body.

Yes. The laser requires annual calibration, from the date placed in service, by a service technician certified by Chattanooga Group, and the applicators are recalibrated annually too.

Yes. The NiMH pack of twenty AA cells at 1.2 V gives 2 to 5 hours of treatment, depending on the power, pulsed mode and frequency used. It weighs 1.87 lb and is sold as the Transportable Battery Pack. The console itself is 5.07 lb with an applicator and base fitted.

The eight Vectra laser applicators, the TranSport carry bag and the Vectra Genisys therapy cart. The console sits on a table top, mounts on a wall or docks to that cart.

Yes, laser therapy can be controlled from the laser applicator, and the operator works with the head in hand and the dose in view on the console.

The Transport Laser is the standalone console. The Vectra Genisys Laser Therapy Module adds the same capability to a Vectra Genisys electrotherapy or combination device you already own, so a clinic with a Genisys console usually takes the module and a clinic without one takes this console.

The console is covered for two years (24 months) from the date of original consumer purchase and each applicator for one year (12 months).
