ADVICE

Build Device-Specific Protocols

  • Use the BioLite protocols calculator and the Google Sheets dosage compendium to build device-specific RLT protocols.
  • Enter your device's irradiance and the target joules/cm² to get exact treatment duration.
INSIGHT

Dosage Over Power

  • Protocols require two variables: light irradiance (mW/cm²) and desired dosage (J/cm²).
  • The calculator converts those into treatment time in seconds and minutes.
ADVICE

Insist On Third-Party Testing

  • Only use irradiance figures from third-party tested devices when creating protocols.
  • Ask manufacturers for independent tests or avoid devices with unverified specs.
