For people considering or using clinician-directed narrowband UVB, and their caregivers
What this page helps you do
Before delivery, confirm what is coming and where the carrier will leave it. Check whether it can reach the room. Confirm who handles setup and training. Use the current manual instead of improvising around your space.
- Your task
- Work through the items and keep proof of what is ready, missing, or owned by someone else.
- The clinician boundary
- A qualified clinician determines candidacy and the treatment plan. Use the exact current device instructions and contact the care team for reactions or changes; this page does not provide settings or treatment changes.
What should I confirm before the delivery date?
Confirm the exact model, number of packages, packaged size and weight, carrier, delivery appointment and signature requirements, and where the carrier will leave the shipment. Also ask whom to contact about delays, damage, missing parts, returns, setup, and training. Evidence Evidence Evidence
Why this item matters
Delivery arrangements differ by product, seller, address, building, and carrier. Keeping the seller’s answers in writing gives you something to check if the delivery differs from what you expected.
How do I know whether the device can reach and fit in the room?
Use the current manual and shipping size to measure the full delivery route. Check the entrance, halls, turns, doors, elevator, stairs, ceiling, and final use and storage areas. Follow the manual’s floor, clearance, airflow, and electrical rules instead of estimating from a photo. Evidence Evidence
Why this item matters
Large panels and multidirectional systems can be much harder to move and place than smaller equipment. The final space also needs to allow the prescribed positioning and protective equipment without blocking exits or normal household movement.
What should I do if something is damaged or missing?
Do not operate equipment that arrives visibly damaged, unstable, wet, incomplete, or different from the packing list or manual. Keep the packaging, take a factual record of what arrived, and contact the seller or manufacturer instead of testing or repairing the device. Evidence Evidence Evidence
Why this item matters
Photographs of the packages before and during unpacking, labels, model and unit identifiers, missing items, and carrier paperwork may help the support team identify the shipment. Delivery and hardware support are separate from clinical questions.
Who will help me set it up and learn to use it?
Before you use the device, know who is responsible for assembly or setup, manufacturer support, and clinical training. Use the current manual and those teams for instructions, testing, calibration, unlocking, and authorization. Evidence Evidence Evidence Evidence
Why this item matters
Before first use, confirm the exact model and current manual, approved protective equipment, required room setup, support contacts, and whom to call if any instruction is unclear.
Can I arrange the space so treatment is easier to manage?
You can organize the room for privacy and convenience as long as nothing changes the required position, clearance, shielding, protective equipment, or device configuration. Check any furniture, floor surface, cable, screen, audio, or room change against the exact device instructions. Evidence Evidence Evidence
Why this item matters
Within the manual and care plan, you can plan for privacy and required airflow. Keep approved protection in one place. Make sure audio does not block device alerts.

What this source can and cannot tell you
What this source supports
Supports the current first-party route to Phothera device and accessory manuals and shows that instructions are model- and controller-specific.
What it does not support
It does not establish clinical suitability, comparative benefit, the condition of an individual unit, or that one manual applies to a related or legacy model; each exact linked manual and revision still requires verification.
