Healing Pod Low-Level Light Therapy (LLT) Protocol

Clinical-Style Operating Guidelines

 

1. Pre-Use Requirements (Preparation)

  • Review and fully understand all safety information and manufacturer instructions before use.

  • Obtain medical clearance if any contraindications are present, including—but not limited to—active skin disease, implanted medical or metallic devices, seizure disorders, pregnancy, or known photosensitivity.

  • Place the device on a stable, flat, and dry surface.

  • Connect the controller securely to the pod, then plug the power adapter into a grounded wall outlet.

  • Maintain appropriate hydration before and after each session.

2. Treatment Session Parameters

  • Session length: 5–30 minutes, based on comfort and therapeutic objectives.

  • Recommended frequency: 3–4 sessions per week for optimal cumulative benefit.

  • Intensity (Power level): Begin at P2–P3, increasing gradually only if well-tolerated.

  • Mode selection:

    • Continuous (non-pulsed): General wellness, circulation, soft-tissue support

    • 10 Hz pulsed: Relaxation and autonomic nervous system regulation

    • 40 Hz pulsed: Cognitive stimulation and mental clarity

  • Use the controller’s integrated timer to set treatment duration; the system will automatically shut off when completed.

  • If excessive warmth, discomfort, dizziness, or irritation occurs, reduce intensity or discontinue treatment immediately using the power button.

  • Keep eyes closed during operation and avoid direct exposure to LEDs.

6. Post-Session Guidelines

  • Power off and unplug the device once treatment is complete.

  • Allow the pod to cool before folding, transporting, or storing.

  • Cleaning:

    • Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-toxic cleanser.

    • Do not use abrasive tools, solvents, or alcohol-based products.

  • Storage:

    • Store flat or loosely rolled—avoid sharp folds or creasing of LED panels.

    • Do not stack heavy objects on top of the device.

    • Keep away from moisture; never submerge or expose to water.

7. Safety Reminders

  • The device is intended for home use only and is not approved for use in commercial or clinical facilities.

  • Do not use if contraindications apply, including pregnancy, epilepsy, metal implants, active dermatologic conditions, or any restriction noted in the user manual.

  • Do not attempt self-repair, disassembly, or modification—service must be performed exclusively by Capillus.

  • Warranty: 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.

8. Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Inspect the pod, power supply, and controller before each session. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.

If the device does not power on:

  • Ensure all cables are firmly connected

  • Confirm that the electrical outlet is functioning

If LEDs fail to illuminate:

  • Recheck controller-to-device connection

  • Power cycle the unit

If the pod becomes excessively warm:
