APPLIED BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES in Whole-Body Hyperthermia with wIRA Infrared-A Radiation for Whole-Body Hyperthermia

Water-filtered infrared-A radiation -working principle and benefits The spectral transmission of skin starts at a long wave visual light of about 600 nm wavelength (see “Visual”) and passes the whole infrared-A until its upper long wave limit of about 1.400 nm wavelength. In contrast to that, the skin is nearly impenetrable to heat radiation from the spectral regions of infrared-B and infrared-C. Therefore, one can speak of “deepacting heat” in the case of infrared-A heat radiation, whereas with infrared-B and infrared-C radiation we speak only of “surface heat”. Water is the appropriate choice...

Patient Monitoring with IRAsoft IRATHERM ® 1000M Highlights • solely skin-tolerable, water-filtered infrared-A heat radiation (wIRA) • uniform irradiance across the entire patient • rapid increase in body-core temperature (up to 39°C in approx. • high lying comfort • permanent and all-round access to the patient • cost and time-saving cleaning after therapy session • user-friendly monitoring Fully integrated transducer hardware in IRATHERM ® 1000M for signal processing. The purpose is to collect and provide various information. Via standard serial interface, relevant data is continously transferred...
