3.6 System Safety Features


The V10 system incorporates the following safety features:

• Default treatment parameters are automatically recommended when operator makes a


treatment selection.
• The handpiece is equipped with a trigger. If the trigger is not pressed, no energy will
be emitted.
• The system automatically tests for proper coupling prior to any pulse by releasing a
short sub pulse at low voltage. If coupling between electrodes and skin is insufficient
the RF energy will be disabled.
• The handpiece and treatment tip must be properly connected to the system in order
for the treatment mode to be activated. When handpiece, applicator or tip are not well
connected, system will alert.
• The system can be switched to a 'Standby' mode, disabling the release of energy.
• The system will automatically move to 'Standby' mode if a pulse is not emitted for at
least 5 minutes.

Warning
• Objects such as superficial metal or conductive implants, rods, plates or pins
in the treatment areas are contraindicated to the treatment.
• In case of improper coupling in RF handpiece, indicated on screen and by
audio signal the trigger should be released immediately and the handpiece
should be re-oriented on the skin. In rare cases superficial burns may occur
from the heat generated by the RF electrodes.

3.7 Potential Fire Hazards

17
User Manual

RF energy is emitted into the skin via bi-polar electrodes. After applying ultrasound gel (when
using V-VR or V-ST) or glycerin (when using V-FORM and V-FC handpieces), full coupling of
all electrodes to the skin is necessary before pressing the trigger button, to ensure the RF
energy is safely conducted. If coupling with the skin is broken due to incomplete contact or
removal of the handpiece from the treatment area while the trigger is pressed, a beeping
sound will indicate improper coupling.

Warnings
If there is improper coupling, release the trigger immediately and then re-
orient the electrodes on the skin. In rare cases, superficial burns can occur
from the heat generated by the RF electrodes.

3.12.1 V-ST and V-VR Handpieces Safety


When operating the handpiece apply ultrasound gel to the treatment area to ensure
proper contact.

3.12.2 V-FORM and V-FC Handpieces Safety


When operating the handpieces apply glycerin to the treatment area to ensure proper
contact.

• Shortly after the treatment erythema and edema are likely to appear in the treated
zone. The edema is likely to clear up within a few hours while erythema may persist up
to 12-24 hours from treatment time.
• The degree of response to the treatment, and the number of treatment sessions
required will vary among patients and will depend on the clinical and physiological
condition at the start of the treatment regimen.
• The outcomes of the treatment will appear progressively, while temporary
improvement in the skin will be observed immediate after each treatment; the
maximum long-term result can be observed 2-4 months after the last treatment.
• Maintenance sessions may be required.
Additionally, the following should be explained to the patient prior to FR
treatment:
• Light ablation may be detected with gradual improvement in skin
texture/laxity.
• After the treatment and throughout the healing stage, small pin-point
crusts may appear in the area of each ablated spot, at the contact
area of the electrode pins with the skin. These crusts will undergo
natural exfoliation.

6.6.2 Test Procedure


The first clinical visit of any patient should be dedicated to reviewing treatment possibilities,
contraindications and performing a test procedure in order to establish whether the patient is
an appropriate candidate for the treatment, as well as testing for the optimal treatment
parameters. In addition, performing a test procedure minimizes the possibilities for side
effects and adverse response to the treatment. At the start of the treatment course and at
every subsequent session, it is important to inquire and update the patient history portfolio,
being mindful of new prescriptions, aesthetic or medical procedure, etc.

6.6.3 Pre-Treatment Preparation


The following steps should be taken before any treatment or test is performed.
• Ensure that the V-ST handpiece is properly inserted into the system.
Make sure the electrodes are completely clean and dry. Left over residues on the
handpiece may damage the system and cause superficial burns on the skin
• Use a mild cleansing solution (not alcohol-based solution) to clean the treatment area.
• Make sure the treatment area is dry and free of any moisture, liquids or lint.
• If there is excessive thick hair on the treatment area, it is recommended to shave it as it
may interfere with the passage of the energy (men only).

Note
Areas of metal dental implants (such as dental braces, caps and crowns) may be
more sensitive to RF energy. In this case, the practitioner may isolate the area
using gauze, dental rolls or a tongue depressor.

6.6.4 Treatment Guidelines


• Apply a layer of ultrasound gel in an amount covering half the height of the
electrodes.
• Set the RF mode according to the treatment area and as indicated in the treatment
protocol.
• Set RF according to Test Procedure results. Selecting the appropriate RF energy level is
crucial for safe and effective operation.
• Place the handpiece on the treatment area in a perpendicular orientation and apply
slight pressure, making sure both electrodes are in good contact with the skin surface.
• Examine the skin response to the chosen parameters before increasing the RF energy
level.
• According to the practitioner's discretion and specific patient’s reaction, the treatment
parameters can be modified during subsequent sessions.

6.7 V-FR Clinical Guide


6.7.1 Indications of use
The V-FR Handpiece is indicated for ablation and resurfacing of the skin.
The V-FR handpiece uses Viora’s innovative SVC™ technology to give physicians greater
control by delivering unprecedented penetration depth control, to determine the desired
biological response. By delivering bi-polar RF energy in a pixilated fashion to the skin, isolated
spots of skin are heated, leaving healthy surrounding tissue. This allows a faster healing
process and extra cellular matrix remodeling mainly driven by fibroblast activity.

Warning
Dermatologists and aesthetic physicians may treat patients only after passing
appropriate training and adhere to all local and state regulations regarding the
use of this system.

6.7.2 Pre-Treatment Preparation


The following steps should be taken before any treatment or test is performed.
• Hair in the treatment area should be shaved. Hair may disrupt electrodes’ full coupling
with the skin and as result may cause burns.
• Use a mild cleansing solution to clean the treatment area. Make sure the treatment
area is dry and free of any moisture, liquids or lint.
• If need, apply a topical anesthetic material (water-based only, containing at least 15%
active ingredients) on the entire treatment area. Follow manufacturer guidelines when
applying material.

53
User Manual

• At the end of anesthetic activity (according to manufacturer guidelines) wipe off the
excess material from the skin with a tissue.
• Wash the skin with soap and lukewarm water and make sure the skin is completely
clean of any residues.
• Once the skin is clean, sterilize the treatment area using an alcohol pad (at least 70%
ethanol).
• Make sure the skin is completely dry before initiating the treatment.
• There is no need for the use of any medium solutions during the treatment (such as
ultrasound gel or coupling gel).
• Before beginning the treatment make sure the handpiece is clean, dry and intact.
• Open the sealed pack of the treatment tip and check the integrity of the pins making
sure they are all intact and that the tip’s frame is undamaged.
• Connect the treatment tip to the handpiece and ensure the tip is secured in place.

Note
Areas of metal dental implants (such as dental braces, caps and crowns) may be
more sensitive to RF energy. In this case, the practitioner may isolate the area
using gauze, dental rolls or a tongue depressor.

6.7.3 Test Procedure


Before receiving a patient for a V-FR treatment session, a test procedure must be performed
during the initial consult meeting. The test procedure should be performed at non-exposed
site of the treatment area. If more than one area is to be treated, a test should be performed
on all treatment sites.

The test procedure serves several purposes:


• Establishing the client is an appropriate candidate for the treatment:
o For skin types I–III wait 1-2 days before assessing the skin response.
o For skin types IV-VI wait 5-7 days before assessing the skin response.
• Providing the client with an opportunity to experience the V-FR treatment.
• Finding the correct parameters according to skin’s reaction and patient’s tolerance to
the test procedure
• Minimizing possibilities for adverse effects.

Warning
• Patients with skin types V-VI may be more sensitive to treatment. Lower
energy levels should be applied.
• When treating Asian skin classify it as one grade higher on the Fitzpatrick
scale.

The test procedure should be conducted as follows:


a) For facial treatments perform the test on concealed areas such as the back of the
neck. For body treatments perform the test on the target area.

54
User Manual

b) Chose the relevant treatment program (Shallow, Medium or Deep).

c) Set the energy to 0.25 J.

d) Apply one pulse. If no heat sensation was reported by the patient, increase the energy
level by 0.25 J and apply additional pulse in an adjacent spot.

e) Continue in the same manner until the patient reports a noticeable heat sensation.
Note the energy level you have reached (XJ)

f) Release additional 2-3 pulses at the same energy (x J)


g) Increase the energy level by 0.25J (X+0.25J) and release 2-3 pulses
h) Increase the energy level again by 0.25J (X+0.50J) and release additional 2-3 pulses
i) Never release pulses in the same spot
j) Wait 10 minutes to allow a pattern to appear. The desired end point is local erythema
and edema.

k) If the skin does not show signs of erythema and edema after 10 minutes, increase the
RF energy by an additional 0.25J (X+0.75J) and release an additional pulse adjacent to
the location of the previous pulse.

l) Wait additional 10 minutes to allow the end point to appear.

m) Treatment area must be examined 24 hours post test procedure and a grid like
pattern matching the electrode pins should be visible on the treated area.

Note
• Test procedure is to be executed and evaluated prior to beginning
treatment schedule
• For complete treatment protocol please refer to the treatment protocol
attached to this user manual.

At the start of the treatment course, and at every subsequent session, it is important to inquire

55
User Manual

• The LED located at the back of the handpiece will light up as an indication of the
released pulse. The light has no bearing on the actual treatment and is only a visual
indication that a pulse has been released.
• On Standby mode, the LED light will be OFF
• On Ready mode, the LED light will blink.
• Once the pulse is completed a beeping sound is heard to indicate the pulse is
completed. The handpiece can then be safely moved to an adjacent spot in the
treatment area.
• For every pulse released, the number of pulses indicated on the display screen will
increase by one.
• Do not leave untreated spaces between the pulses and do not overlap between the
pulses.
• Pass over the treatment area once.
• In case the system recognizes insufficient coupling, the RF energy will be disabled and
the system will not emit a pulse. This will be accompanied by a message on screen and
an audio indication. The system will not count this as a pulse.
• Throughout the treatment, make sure that the electrode-pins are:
o Clean and have no cellular remains (appearing as black material).
o Make sure that the tips are cleaned every 20 pulses while the system is on
Standby mode. A note will appear on the screen every 20 pulses.
o Unharmed – ensure that no pins are missing or damaged.
• Examine the treated area for the desired end point; erythema and edema on the
treatment area.
• Edema will normally appear within several minutes after the treatment.
• At the end of the treatment, examine the area to make sure there are no untreated
patches of skin. If such patches exist follow the below instructions:
o Set the system to Standby Mode.
o Clean the untreated patches and the tip with a dry lint-free gauze pad.
o Pass over the untreated patches and avoid treated areas.
• At the end of every treatment session remove the treatment tip and clean the
handpiece according to the cleaning guidelines. Insert the V-FR tip cover when the
system is not in use in order to protect the handpiece.

Warning
• Do not treat over the eyelids or the lips.
• Do not treat different patients with the same tip, in order to prevent
cross-contamination.
• Do not treat with an expired tip.
• Do not use the V-FR Tip in case the sterile package is damaged
• Note that in darker skin types erythema is not easily noticeable;
therefore, the end point of edema will be more outstanding in these
patients.
• Before cleaning the tip make sure to set the system to Standby mode

6.8.3 Test Procedure


The first visit of any patient to a salon, spa or clinic should be dedicated to reviewing
treatment possibilities, contraindications and performing a test spot in order to establish that
the patient is an appropriate candidate for the treatment and test for the optimal treatment
parameters. In addition, performing a test spot procedure minimizes the possibilities for side
effects and adverse response to the treatment.
At the start of the treatment course and at every subsequent session, it is important to
inquire and update the patient history portfolio, being mindful of new prescriptions, aesthetic
or medical procedure, etc. Selecting the correct treatment parameters is essential for safe,
accurate and efficient treatment.
The test procedure is divided into 2 steps:

A. Step 1 – Finding the patient comfort level

1. For V-FORM, insert the BC Large, Medium or Small applicator (depending on the
treatment area size).

2. Set the treatment parameters as follows:

• RF Mode - MODE IV

• RF Intensity – OFF

• Vacuum Intensity – Level 1

3. Identify a zone enough for footprint of the chosen applicator, in the less visible site of
the desired treatment area.

4. Perform 3 stacked pulses on the same spot.

5. If no adverse effects appear and patient comfort allows, increase the vacuum intensity
by 1 level and repeat the same procedure o the same spot.

6. Continue in the same manner with vacuum level 3 and 4.

7. Ask the patient to assess the discomfort during the test procedure using the scale
below and record it on the patient sheet:

Discomfort Scale:

0 – No Discomfort 1 – Mild 2 – Moderate 3 – Significant 4 - Unbearable

8. The highest vacuum level applied that generated moderate discomfort will be the
selected vacuum level for the next phase.

58
User Manual

B. Step 2 – Validating the parameters

1. Select another zone in the same treatment area (wide enough for four footprints
of the applicator with about 40% overlapping).
2. Set the treatment parameters as follows:

a. RF Mode - MODE IV

b. RF Intensity – Level 3

c. Vacuum Intensity – chosen level from Step 1

3. Perform Pre-heating phase of the zone, until the skin temperature reaches an
endpoint of 39-420C (review detected body temperature on the treatment screen
or on the V-FORM handpiece screen, Figure 6.8.1).

4. Figure 6.8.1: V-FORM IR Thermometer screen

5. Once endpoint is reached, continue in the same manner and maintain the
temperature for 7 minutes performing a ‘mini’ treatment.

Note

In the parameter validation step, it is recommended to work on more sensitive areas within
the treatment area; if such exist (this includes areas such as the flanks in the abdomen area).
Ask for patient feedback during treatment.

59
User Manual

6. Treatment area should be assessed 48-hours post test procedure for any local
side effects.

7. If the patient developed side effects, the chosen vacuum level should be 1 below
the initial patient’s indication.

8. Make a record of the patient’s subjective response as well as the skin’s response
on the patient’s treatment sheet.

Note

• The operator may increase the parameters in subsequent treatments according to


patient’s comfort level and skin’s response.
• Make sure to follow clean up procedures for consumables and systems’ at the end of
the treatment session.

6.8.4 Treatment Guidelines


1. Make sure there is full contact between the electrodes and the skin without putting
unnecessary pressure on the applicator.

2. Pulses are released when the trigger on the applicator is pressed down.

3. If the trigger is held down, the system will continue to release consecutive pulses until
the press button is released.

4. Once the pulse and vacuum stop slide the applicator to the next spot on the
treatment area.

5. Overlap about 30-40% of the pervious pulse.

Note

Sliding the applicator before the vacuum pulse ends may cause bruising.

6. Clean the applicator thoroughly at the end of every treatment session using an
alcohol based solvent.
