DEAVA Course August 2024
This section of the DEAVA Course provides comprehensive instructions for using the IHT BioScanMSA system. It begins with the monthly software authorization process, detailing automatic online activation, credential entry, and computer registration requirements. The document then outlines patient preparation steps to ensure reliable AcuPoint measurements, including removal of electronic devices, jewelry, and consideration of medications, supplements, and physiological factors that can affect readings. Detailed guidance on scanning technique follows, covering the four key components—location, angle, moisture, pressure, and sound—along with specific handling instructions for the Epic® and Manual styluses. Interpretation of Voll scale readings is explained, emphasizing the significance of drops, rise rates, and the Accuracy Probability (AP) metric. Common scanning errors and their remedies are listed. The text introduces polarity (spin) assessment, how to detect and correct reversed spin using simple techniques. It then describes the creation and use of Custom Libraries for organizing dental material lists, and provides a step‑by‑step workflow for compatibility testing using allergy points, including baseline testing, selection of balanced points, and recording results in the Sensitivity Hold. Instructions for extracting, sorting, and printing reports are included. Finally, the section offers information on feedback channels, referral incentives, support contacts, and training resources, reinforcing a supportive and user‑focused approach.
Topics
Monthly Software Authorization and Activation for BioScanMSA
Step‑by‑step workflow for the required monthly online activation of the BioScanMSA system, including automatic internet‑based authorization, credit‑card auto‑payment, entry of case‑sensitive username, password, and serial number, computer registration, and troubleshooting common activation failures.
Patient Preparation and Interfering Factors for Accurate AcuPoint Scanning
Comprehensive checklist and guidance on preparing patients for reliable AcuPoint measurements: removal of electronic devices, jewelry, watches; lotion‑free hands; hydration status; medication, supplement, and therapeutic modality considerations; and awareness of physiological variables such as menstrual cycle and recent physical activity that can mask or alter readings.
AcuPoint Reading Interpretation: Voll Scale, Drops, Rise Rate, and Accuracy Probability
Detailed explanation of the Voll 1‑100 scale, meaning of stressed (>55) and weakened (<45) values, significance of indicator drops, acceptable rise‑rate ranges, and the Accuracy Probability (AP) metric used to assess measurement confidence.
Scanning Technique: Stylus Handling, Positioning, Moisture, Pressure, and Error Correction
Guidance on the four key components of a proper scan—location, angle, moisture, pressure (and sound)—including specific handling instructions for Epic® and Manual styluses, optimal grip, angle, and pressure profiles, common scanning errors (mis‑location, improper moisture, angle, pressure, concentration) and practical strategies to identify and correct them during a scan.
Polarity (Spin) Assessment and Spin‑Balancing Procedures
Method for measuring body spin using the LI‑1b CMP, interpreting right‑spin versus left‑spin, and corrective techniques such as cross‑crawls, umbilicus rub, and X‑ray pellet placement to reverse or balance spin.
Custom Library Creation and Management for Dental Materials
Step‑by‑step process to build, edit, organize, and print Custom Libraries from the Virtual Library, allowing users to categorize dental materials for rapid compatibility testing.
Compatibility Testing Workflow Using Allergy Points
Procedural guide for conducting dental material compatibility tests: baseline polarity check, selection of balanced AcuPoints, sequential testing of materials, recording results in the Sensitivity Hold, and prioritizing items based on Max/Drop values.
Support, Feedback, Referral Programs, and Training Resources
Overview of channels for sending feedback, tiered referral incentive structure, community growth emphasis, and contact information for technical support, accounting, leadership, after‑hours policies, and available training resources to maintain proficiency.
