- Abstract
During the trial, quality control checks of all devices prior to issue to participants determined whether the spectral emissions remained the same as at characterization, whether device output was within our predetermined range and whether each device was electrically safe. The device irradiance was measured for 10 devices at the comb tip in the middle of the tube. Dear Editor, Handheld narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) devices are available for the treatment of various skin conditions, but their optical radiation omissions are often not thoroughly characterized.
