Fit-IPL-R is a fully automatic, hand-held energy and power meter designed for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) applications.
Fit-IPL-R measurement and data acquisition are fully automatic, making this technique virtually free from operator induced errors.
Fit-IPL-R can measure both flash-lamps single shot energies up to 350 Joules and average powers, when in burst mode operation, up to 100 W.
Fit-IPL-R innovative measurement concept reduces the time of measurement and display to 10 sec. with excellent repeatability (±1%), accuracy (±3%) and high resolution (10 mW and 100mJ) associated with a wide dynamic range of measurement (down to 1% of f.s.).
The broadband detector works in the range from 400 nm to 1400 nm, which is the range of interest for the majority of applications (photo-epilation, skin rejuvenation, treatments of acne, vascular and pigmented lesions, psoriasis).
The absorber coating of Fit-IPL-R remains fully responsive also when filters are used to reduce the lamp spectral bandwidth. This absorber is very robust, as it has been designed to face the extreme fluences (up to 90J/cm2) of professional systems (medical and clinic) where the highest pulse energies are involved. Moreover, it is also very flexible since it can operate with semi-professional systems (beauty salons) and consumer-oriented systems (2 to 10J/cm2).
Fit-IPL-R has a window for gel or water coupled handpieces but can also measure air coupled IPLs.
The unit bears a multifunction LCD that simultaneously indicates the flash lamp energy (or power) delivered by the handpiece; it also shows the mode of operation (single shot for energy or repetitive for power), probe model and warning for low-battery. A bargraph shows the sensor temperature to inform the operator whether he can still perform more measurements before the sensor reaches its maximum allowable temperature. Additionally, the probe status is displayed by a two colour LED indicating if the instrument is ready for measurement, if the reading is in progress or over and if cooling is needed.
