Introduction
For the first time in history Meditech International has produced an
automated, pre-programmed light therapy device that can be applied at
home, while travelling or while otherwise engaged.
This highly effective, sophisticated unit is a derivative product of the BioFlex
Professional Laser Therapy Systems that have achieved a high level of
distinction in medical clinics based on the resolution of many pathologies,
often representing dramatic clinical outcomes.
Currently utilized in the field of Laser Medicine by health care professionals
in over 50 countries worldwide, the technology is widely applicable in the
treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, sports and soft tissue
injuries, etc., on a scalable basis.
At Meditech International we view this system as a major advance in the
immediate relief of pain and other symptoms. Pathologies are resolved –
as a result of the initiation of a cascade of physiological activities that lead
to the restoration of normal cell structure and function.
With the purchase of this unit, you hold the key to a non-invasive solution
for many of your medical problems, at your fingertips.
The Man Behind The System
BioFlex is a division of Meditech International Inc. a
company founded by Fred Kahn, MD, in 1989. The
company designs and manufacturers leading edge
Laser Therapy Systems.
In 1993, Meditech opened its first clinic within a
laboratory at Ryerson University which has evolved
into two major Laser Rehabilitation Clinics currently
active in Toronto. All products represent the synergy
developed through the collaboration of clinicians,
engineers and designers, innovating and improving
the development of new technologies.
5
Intended Use
Prior to initiating treatment for any medical condition, it is advisable to
be examined and have a diagnosis established by a qualified health care
professional in order that more serious problems may be discovered and
to determine if light therapy will be effective for your condition.
The BioFlex Personal is a medical device designed for safe easy and
effective temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, muscle
spasm, stiffness and promoting muscle relaxation in the body.
Contraindications
The BioFlex 120 should not be used during the first trimester of pregnancy.

System Basics
The BioFlex 120 is a high performance therapy system that is affordable,
cost-effective and easy to use. The ergonomically designed Controller Unit
is connected to a flexible Treatment Array in order to deliver a patented
sequence of Red and Infrared light energy to injured or diseased tissue.
Scientifically and clinically developed protocols have been preprogrammed for 12 anatomical regions. Simply select the desired area of
treatment from the face of the Controller Unit to start treatment. Three
Stages of protocols are available for each area. Initiate treatment at Stage
1 for at least the initial five treatments and increase to higher settings, only
as required.
The Treatment Array’s soft, flexible material is easy to clean and readily
adjusts to the contours of the area to which it is applied. For optimal results,
apply the Array to the skin’s surface and if desired, hold in place with straps
provided. Holding the system in place with a hand is also appropriate. Do
not cover the Treatment Array throughout the course of therapy.
Each treatment is initiated by radiation of red light automatically followed
by infrared radiation. The latter is not visible to the human eye. Once the
treatment has been completed, it will be confirmed via a sound.

applied to the skin to ensure maximum transmission of light
into the tissues. The Treatment Array may be held firmly in
place either with the straps provided or manually.
Step 2
Press the power button to turn the system on or off. You’ll
hear an audible double beep and the power button will turn
blue when it is turned on.
Step 3

area of the body to be treated (e.g., face, knee, etc.). When
selected, the circle will turn blue.
Step 4
The Treatment Stage of the BioFlex 120 automatically defaults

be an audible beep and the countdown timer will begin. The
length of each treatment varies depending on the area selected. For optimal results, run the treatment to completion (until
the timer ends).
If you need to stop or pause your treatment for any reason,
press the Start/Pause button. Pressing the Start/Pause button
again will resume your treatment.
Step 6

Planning Your Treatments
Treatment Area
Light therapy is most effective when the Treatment Array is placed firmly
over the dermis and directly over the focal point of the painful area.
Identify the focus of the pain in the area being treated and apply the Array
over that particular area. The treatment may be completed by applying
to the opposing area in order to apply therapy from all perspectives
applicable to the region.
There are 12 different treatment guidelines for each body area. The
diagram below shows which page to refer to for each area.

Neck Pg.22
Shoulder Pg.17
Upper Back Pg.23
Elbow Pg.18
Lower Back Pg.24

Wrist Pg.19
Hip Pg.25
Hand Pg.20

Foot Pg.21
Ankle Pg.27
Stage
There are 3 pre-programmed stages for each of the 12 treatments
available on the Controller Unit. Each stage is meant for different stages of
the healing process. Stage 1 provides the best results for most cases and
should be used for as long as possible. Using stage 2 is only advisable if
there is no improvement after 5-10 full treatments. Skipping from stage 1
to stage 2 may result in less pain relief. Stage 3 should only be used if stage
2 no longer provides any pain relief after 5-10 treatments.
Frequency
Acutely painful areas may be treated daily until the pain and other
symptoms diminish.
Possible Reactions and Side Effects
During the course of treatment, the dermis may become erythematous,
secondary to physiological effects. This condition is not harmful and will
disappear following completion of treatment. Use the glasses provided
throughout the course of treatment, however they are not essential.
End of Treatment
Treatments end automatically unless you press the Stop button prior to
that occurrence. Clean the Treatment Array after each use (see page 28).
As your symptoms diminish you may reduce the frequency of treatments
and in order to avoid recurrence, treat once or twice per week. For chronic
pain, treat as required for maintenance purposes.
Should your pain not diminish after utilizing the three Stages provided for
each area, it is appropriate to consult a physician.
