Philips TL/01 and TL/12 lamps
Philips TL/01 and TL/12 low-pressure mercury vapour fluorescent lamps are used for the treatment of Psoriasis, Vitiligo,Atopic Dermatitis and other less common skin diseases.These Philips lamps have been used as the reference UV sources in numerous medical studies.
Due to the shape of the spectrum the /01 is commonly referred to as narrowband and /12 is known as broadband by the scientific community.
A patient’s session is typically in the order of minutes. The dose must be limited in order to prevent erythema (sunburn).
Within this limitation the /01 spectrum has been proven to be more effective than the /12 for the treatment of psoriasis. A study* also showed a reduced long term risk of narrow band (Philips /01) compared to broadband. Compared to PUVA therapy, UVB therapy is effective without the use of photosensitizers which are not tolerated by some patients.

Philips TL/09 and TL/10 lamps
Philips /09 lamps emit radiation over the whole UVA part of the spectrum (315-400 nm). Philips /10 lamps emit radiation in the UVA1, a limited part of the UVA range. In PUVA-therapy these lamps are used in combination with photosensitizers, (for example psoralen) for the treatment of psoriasis.

Safety measures
As with natural sunlight, UV-therapy increases the risk of skin cancer, can cause erythema (sunburn), conjunctivitis (snow blindness) and cataract of the eye.
Chronic blue light exposure can damage the retina.
Patients should always wear appropriate eye-wear.Therapy equipment must be screened off to ensure safe operation by service personnel.* Equipment must be provided with a timer in order to control the dose.
Philips UVB therapy lamps (TL/01 and TL/12) are only supplied to qualified customers.The lamps should only be used for medical purposes under doctor supervision.
*For safe levels, see standard IEC 62471 Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamps Systems
Burning-in time
We advise allowing a burning-in time for new /01 lamps of at least one hour to avoid the initial high output value.
Operating conditions
In order to obtain the highest possible output, the equipment should be designed to keep the lamp at the
optimal temperature.
