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.

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

• Apply a very thin layer (<1 mm) of glycerin onto the treatment area to assure good
coupling and conductivity.
• Place the applicator perpendicular to the treatment area.
1. For V-FORM, insert the BC Large, Medium or Small applicator (depending on the
treatment area size).
• RF Mode - MODE IV
• RF Intensity – OFF
3. Identify a zone enough for footprint of the chosen applicator, in the less visible site of
the desired treatment area.
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.
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:
8. The highest vacuum level applied that generated moderate discomfort will be the
selected vacuum level for the next phase.

User Manual
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
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).
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
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.
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.
7. Let the handpiece and applicators dry completely before using them again.
