DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Replacing F2 Fuse in Head (All 4170 Systems) Tool Required: Phillips Head Screwdriver (#2) Remove (4) screws from head cover (see Figure 1). Remove head cover and set aside. Locate Circuit Board and F2 fuse near green terminal block (see Figure 2). Remove the existing F2 fuse. Install new F2 fuse into same location taking care not to touch any other component on the board. Re-install head cover (may leave screws out for testing). Plug BLU-U into wall outlet. Turn Power Inlet Module on. Turn timer key on. Press Start/Stop button on timer. Confirm unit powers up, and lights illuminate. See tip if lamps do not light. Reinstall head cover screws. Tip: If head lights flickered then went out after replacing F2 fuse; the fuse may have blown again. Ship more fuses to customer, if required, and replace fuse again prior to replacing the head.

DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Frequently Asked Questions Wavelength of BLU-U? 417 nm ± 5 nm (nm = nanometers) Power output of lamps? The BLU-U lamp power output is 9-11 mw/cm 2. The BLU-U delivers 10 Joules/cm 2 during the approved treatment time of 16:40. Customer can reference MAN-1211 Operating Manual, page 12, Procedure for treating acne, number 3. Can lamps be replaced in the field?, lamps cannot be replaced in the field. This is because the lamps are calibrated as a set in the head and lamp replacement requires recalibration of the head. Can the BLU-U be used with one or more lamps not lit?, the BLU-U should not be used when lamps are out. Check lamp connectors (see Chart 14) and terminal block in head (see Chart 12). If problem is not resolved, a replacement head is recommended. BLU-U longevity -or- number of cycles? 6K units run to 1600 cycles, 1K & 3K units run to 500, 1050 or 1600 cycles. The status indicator light will be on steady or intermittent and the lamps will be lit. See Chart 10 for instructions to check number of hours on Timer 1. Does the BLU-U require Preventive Maintenance? The BLU-U does not require scheduled preventive maintenance. The BLU-U is calibrated to 9-11 mw/cm 2 at the factory and the calibration is monitored by the electronics in the head. If a units power output is above or below the 9-11 mw/cm 2 specification the Status Indicator will illuminate and DUSA should be contacted at this time. What parts are serviceable on the BLU-U? The customer can change parts such as fuses and knobs in the field. Other components which can be changed in the field, such as the power inlet module or caster upgrade, require a MERA technician. Field replaceable parts can be found on FORM281. Why do the lamps change brightness, or pulse, during power up or operation? The lamp pulsing is normal as the electronics in the head regulate the lamp power output. If there is a lamp power output issue or electronics problem the system status indicator lamp will flash (see operating manual for error conditions) and the customer should contact DUSA customer service to troubleshoot and resolve. What safety materials or information is there for the BLU-U? Safety information can be found in MAN-1211 Operating Manual, page 4. What is the difference between patient goggles and physician goggles? Patient goggles are small and fit just over the eyes. Clinician goggles are larger. Chart 16
