Specific frequency light emissions and associated fluids are used to reduce overabundant flora, at least assist in elimination of fungal, viral and bacterial invaders, and enhance the detection process. Several configurations and sizes of ITDs with light and fluid therapy, also have a built in optics assembly (camera, light sources, etc.) for capturing intravaginal still images and video of vaginal channels, cervix, cervical channels, uterus and fallopian tubes. Some ITD configurations are also wearable and include full fluid delivery infrastructure unlike some other ITDs with external components. Supporting devices include local and remotely located computing devices such as laptops, smart phones, and independent monitors. ITDs can be fully or partially inserted via the vaginal channel, and operate in a stand-alone mode or pursuant to remote control. Therapy procedures may be preset or programmed to deliver continuous, periodic and scheduled performance with various underlying parameters defined in the preset or programming processes. | 08-04-2011 |
