TECHNOLOGY
Photobiomodulation, explained
Photobiomodulation (PBM) uses red and near-infrared light to interact with tissue. VOLTA F3 combines three wavelengths in one clinician-controlled platform.
● 650 nm ● 810 nm ● 980 nm
CLASS 4 LASER THERAPY
What Class 4 means in practice
Class 4 is a laser safety category, not a treatment claim. It describes devices with higher optical output. In therapy, higher output lets the clinician deliver a chosen dose in less time, and it calls for controlled use.
Dose and time
Dose depends on power and time. A higher-output system can reach the same dose sooner, and the clinician decides the dose.
Controlled use
Used by trained healthcare professionals, with eye protection for patient and staff and the safety steps in the instructions for use.
Registered in Malaysia
VOLTA F3 is registered with the Medical Device Authority, Malaysia. MDA registration GC6440126-238777.
PHOTOBIOMODULATION
Light that tissue can use
In photobiomodulation, light energy is absorbed by chromophores within cells, such as cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria. Wavelength determines how deeply light travels into tissue, which is why VOLTA F3 offers three.
Research on the mechanisms and clinical use of photobiomodulation is summarised on the Evidence page.
MULTI-WAVELENGTH TECHNOLOGY
One platform, three tissue depths
VOLTA F3 delivers 650, 810 and 980 nm, each controlled independently, so the clinician can match wavelength and settings to the tissue and the treatment goal.
650
Superficial tissue, 650 nm
Red light, absorbed closer to the surface.
810
Deep tissue, 810 nm
Near-infrared light. The 800–810 nm band is the most studied in photobiomodulation research, where absorption by cytochrome c oxidase is the proposed mechanism.
980
Water and hemoglobin, 980 nm
Accelerates microcirculation and oxygen delivery, suited to advanced deep-tissue healing protocols.
HOW VOLTA F3 WORKS
From assessment to review
01
Assess
The clinician assesses the patient and decides whether photobiomodulation is appropriate.
02
Select a protocol
Choose from the ready-made treatment protocols built into the device.
03
Set parameters
Confirm or fine-tune output and time, independently on each wavelength.
04
Treat and review
Deliver the session and review progress against the treatment plan.
CONTROL AND SAFETY
The clinician sets the protocol
650, 810 and 980 nm are each independently controlled, alone or in any combination.
Wavelength, output and treatment time are selected by the treating clinician.
Operation by trained healthcare professionals only.
Appropriate laser safety eyewear for operator and patient during treatment.
Training on safe use is provided with every installation.
