Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A therapeutic treatment device comprising: a light source operable to provide an incoherent pulsed light output for treatment, wherein the source includes control inputs; a microprocessor having control outputs connected to the control inputs of the source, display outputs and an input interface; a display connected to the microprocessor display outputs; a user interface connected to the input interface; wherein the microprocessor is operable to receive input parameters related to the treatment and is operable to provide output parameters related to the treatment; and means for causing the display to display the output parameters, wherein the microprocessor is operable to store information about the patient being treated in a database and wherein the patient information stored in the database includes a visual image of the patient's condition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A therapeutic treatment device comprising: a light source operable to provide an incoherent pulsed light output for treatment, wherein the source includes control inputs; a microprocessor having control outputs connected to the control inputs of the source, display outputs and an input interface; a display connected to the microprocessor display outputs; a user interface connected to the input interface; wherein the microprocessor is operable to receive input parameters related to the treatment and is operable to provide output parameters related to the treatment; and means for causing the display to display the output parameters, wherein the microprocessor is operable to store information about the patient being treated in a database and wherein the patient information stored in the database includes a visual image of the patient's condition.
