Texua LA31-40w

Product Code: PAWE-EAPD-3247

A 40 W rating in a 5 kg console, ready to move between laser rooms.

The same compact housing appears elsewhere in Texua's range at a different wavelength, and this version pairs it with a 40 W rating, a 1064 nm figure and one thermal handpiece. As a result, eyewear and labels need extra care.

Sharing its housing with another console in Texua's range, the LA31-40W is a 40 W thermal laser built by Guangzhou Texua Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., with one handpiece and an 8-inch touchscreen. The datasheet gives pulse lengths between 15 and 60 ms, single-hertz rates up to 9 Hz, 1064 nm under the aiming-beam heading, a 5 kg weight and 220 V or 110 V mains options. Spot size, output mode, source type, laser class, emission controls, cooling, eyewear, intended purpose and contraindications go unmentioned.

What sets the LA31-40W apart is the safety load it carries in a small box. A 5 kg laser rated at 40 W moves easily, so every room it enters must function as a controlled area, the key needs a named holder, and the eyewear has to travel with it. Because the same housing is sold at another wavelength, eyewear bought for one unit may not protect against the other, so 1064 nm filters with continuous and pulsed ratings must stay with this console.

In the product photograph, an angled touchscreen sits at the top of the housing, the handpiece cable leaves from a socket at the front, and the flared handpiece rests in a side holder, with no footswitch shown. Taken as peak output, 40 W would give 0.6 to 2.4 J per pulse, which makes the unpublished cooling worth asking about. UK buyers should specify the 50 Hz version.

On the bench, it needs 350 × 290 mm and stands 345 mm tall. Medigear.uk lists the LA31-40W for UK business buyers. Before ordering, request the laser class, source type, output data, spot size, key and emission controls, the 1064 nm eyewear specification, cooling details, a conformity declaration naming the LA31-40W, and proof of the device's MHRA registration from the seller.

Musculoskeletal services that treat across several rooms are the natural fit for a 5 kg laser. A sports injury clinic or community hub can bring the console to whichever assessed room is free, provided the eyewear, signs, and key move with it, and each room is set up as a controlled area.

Groups that already own other lasers need a clear system before this one arrives. Store wavelength-specific eyewear and label it with the console it protects against; local rules should name LA31-40W and 1064 nm; and asset records should use the full model code, since the housing also appears in Texua's range at another wavelength.

High-intensity laser has been studied for musculoskeletal pain in the back, neck, shoulder and tendons, usually alongside exercise. Its pulse settings do not match many of those trials, so services should write their own protocols and audit the results. Arthritic knees and hips are excluded, as NICE advises against laser therapy for osteoarthritis.

Every site needs a Laser Protection Adviser, a Laser Protection Supervisor, trained authorised users and lockable storage. In England, CQC registration depends on the treatment given and who gives it, and some councils run separate laser licensing. Healthcare Inspectorate Wales registers Welsh clinics that use Class 3B or 4 lasers, while the Scottish and Northern Irish regulators apply their own rules.

Private providers usually order directly, while NHS bodies apply their own laser safety and device management checks to each new unit. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Light Enough for Several Treatment Rooms

Weighing 5 kg, it can serve more than one assessed room in the same building, which suits clinics that book treatment space by the session.

Easy to Lock Away Between Sessions

The compact housing fits in a lockable cupboard, making it easy to keep the unit out of reach when no authorised user is present.

A Single Wavelength to Protect Against

With one 1064 nm figure on the sheet, the service specifies, buys, and checks eyewear for one wavelength, provided the eyewear is kept separate from any bought for other lasers.

Forty Watts in a Compact Housing

If 40 W is the optical output, a small console can deliver a planned dose quickly, with about 46 seconds per 1,000 J at the top settings.

Millisecond Control Over Each Pulse

Pulses of 15 to 60 ms at any of nine rates let the clinician shape both the energy in each pulse and the energy delivered each second.

Settings That Local Rules Can Name

Because pulse length and rate are published, local rules and protocols can state the permitted settings in the unit's own terms.

A Familiar Layout for Existing Texua Users

Clinics already using this housing at another wavelength will know the layout, which shortens application training, as long as the wavelength difference is covered in the same session.

Quick Set-Up in a Prepared Room

Once a room is assessed, it only needs a bench, a power point, and its eyewear kit, so it can be ready soon after it arrives.

40 W in the Model Code

The full code, LA31-40W, includes the power rating, which helps staff distinguish this version from others in the same housing.

Invisible 1064 nm Figure

The only wavelength given is 1064 nm, printed under the aiming-beam heading. Nobody can see it, so the page assumes it is the treatment wavelength, subject to the seller's confirmation.

Pulse Length of 15 to 60 ms

Pulse length spans a four-fold range, and the step size is not published.

1 Hz Rate Increments

The pulse rate runs from 1 to 9 Hz, one hertz at a time.

Flared Thermal Handpiece

The sheet lists one thermal laser handpiece; in the photograph, it has a flared head and sits in a side holder.

Angled 8-Inch Display

The touchscreen sits at an angle at the top of the housing in the photograph, and it is the only control listed.

Front Cable Socket

The handpiece cable leaves the console from a socket on its front face in the photograph.

Portable 5 kg Housing

Its housing is 350 × 290 × 345 mm and 5 kg, light enough for one person to carry.

Carton of about 0.05 m³

Packed for shipping, it occupies 440 × 270 × 460 mm and weighs 10 kg.

Two Mains Versions

Two supply versions exist, 220 V at 50 Hz and 110 V at 60 Hz, with the 50 Hz one suited to UK mains once its rating and plug are confirmed.

Eyewear Not Supplied

No protective eyewear is listed, so you must request and order a 1064 nm specification separately.

Key and Interlock Details Missing

The sheet lists no key switch, remote interlock connector, emission warning or emergency stop.

Cooling Not Described

The sheet provides no information on how the source is cooled or any limits on continuous running.

Output Figures Still Open

Nothing on the sheet gives the laser class, the optical output, whether a continuous mode exists or the spot size.

The LA31-40W puts a 40 W rating, a 1064 nm figure and millisecond pulse control into a 5 kg console that moves easily between assessed rooms. That portability shifts responsibility onto the service: the key needs a named holder, 1064 nm eyewear must travel with the unit and stay separate from eyewear for other lasers, and every room it enters must function as a controlled area. The class, output, spot size, cooling and emission controls still need confirming, and osteoarthritis stays outside its use under NICE advice. Medigear.uk lists the LA31-40W for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff training and service cover. Request the eyewear specification, class label, key and interlock details, and cooling information from the seller in the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

Texua uses this housing for more than one laser, and different versions have different published figures, so two units can look identical on a shelf but emit at different wavelengths. The model code shows the 40 W rating but not the wavelength. Before first use, check that the product label shows LA31-40W and 1064 nm, that the declaration of conformity names the same code, and that the eyewear kept with the console is marked for 1064 nm.

Laser eye protection is now covered by BS EN ISO 19818-1, the 2021 standard that replaced EN 207, although a lot of eyewear in use still carries EN 207 markings. Those markings give a wavelength range, a letter for the operating mode and a protection level, with D for continuous output and I for pulses between 1 µs and 0.25 s, so pulses of 15 to 60 ms fall under I. The Laser Protection Adviser should set the protection level once the seller provides the output and spot size, and everyone in the room during emission needs a pair.

The local rules should name the people allowed to hold and use the key, and the key should be removed whenever the console is left unattended. A light, portable unit is easy to move and easy to misuse, so keep a sign-out record and store the key apart from the console. The sheet does not confirm that a key switch is fitted, so check this first.

Stop emission, get urgent eye or burn care as needed, and tell the Laser Protection Supervisor and the adviser. An injury to a member of staff that a doctor judges likely to cause permanent loss or reduction of sight is reportable to HSE under RIDDOR, as are burns that significantly damage the eyes. Report incidents involving the device itself to the MHRA through its Yellow Card scheme, and review the local rules before using the console again.

At 5 kg, it moves easily, but each location needs assessment by a Laser Protection Adviser as a controlled area before treatment starts there. The eyewear, warning signs, and key have to travel with the unit, and the datasheet lists no transport case. Home visits fall outside anything the datasheet describes, and a domestic room is hard to control, so keep the console to assessed clinical rooms.

The datasheet does not describe cooling. If 40 W is peak output, average output can reach 21.6 W at the longest pulse and fastest rate, and much of the electrical energy behind it ends up as heat inside a compact case. Ask how the source is cooled, whether the unit limits run time or cuts out when hot, what room temperature it needs, and how often filters or fans need cleaning.

Treat it as background, not as a protocol source. Many published high-intensity laser trials at 1064 nm used different pulse settings from this console, and an unreviewed 2023 laboratory study found that 1064 nm light passed through tissue only slightly better than 905 nm, with the difference largely confined to the top 10 mm. Arthritic knees and hips are a separate matter, since NICE advises against laser therapy for osteoarthritis.

The manufacturer's contraindication list is not on the sheet and should come with the instructions for use. Laser therapy guidance rules out treatment near the eyes, over suspected or known cancer and over the abdomen in pregnancy. With a heating laser, reduced skin sensation, tattoos, dark lesions and photosensitising medication each deserve a question at screening.

For therapeutic use, it would fall under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002. It would usually be placed in Class IIb, the class for active equipment able to deliver energy in a hazardous way. Its conformity paperwork should reference IEC 60601-2-22, amended in 2026, alongside IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility, IEC/BS EN 60601-1 for general safety and IEC/BS EN 60825-1 for the laser class. Because the maker sits outside the UK, registration with the MHRA falls to a UK Responsible Person, and the absence of a CE mark on the sheet means the conformity route needs confirming.

Store it in a locked cupboard or room with the key removed and held separately, and keep its 1064 nm eyewear in a labelled case beside it so that eyewear for other lasers cannot be picked up by mistake. Cover or protect the handpiece tip, coil the cable loosely without tight bends, and keep the unit dry—record where it is kept in the local rules.

A service without a Laser Protection Adviser, lockable storage, or controlled rooms is not ready for a portable 40 W laser. Buyers who want to follow published 1064 nm trial protocols exactly will find these settings different, and osteoarthritis sits outside NICE-supported care. Buyers wanting fuller documentation up front can ask Medigear.uk to point them to an alternative specification.
