Microdermabrasion System with Security Mechanism
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a microdermabrasion system comprising:
- receiving a code from an input device to the microdermabrasion system;
evaluating whether the code is valid; and
if the code is valid, allowing a fluid flow through a valve between a hand piece of the microdermabrasion system and a console of the microdermabrasion system.

Abstract
A microdermabrasion system includes a security mechanism that allows the system to be used upon receiving a proper input code; otherwise the security mechanism prevents the system from being used. In an implementation, even after receiving a proper input code, the security mechanism disables the system after a certain amount of time has elapsed.

21. A device comprising:
-
a console comprising; a component, having an electrical input and a fluid output; a first switch, coupled to a supply line and located on an exterior surface of the console, wherein in a first state, the first switch connects power to the supply line, and in a second state, the first switch disconnects power from the supply line; a second switch, coupled between the supply line and the electrical input of the component; and a security circuit, coupled to the supply line, generating a control signal that is coupled to the second switch, wherein when the control signal is in a third state, the second switch connects power from the supply line to the component, and when the control signal is in a fourth state, the second disconnects power from the supply line from the component; and a microdermabrasion wand, coupled to the console, comprising; a tip comprising an abrasive surface, a fluid opening, and a suction opening, wherein the fluid opening is coupled to the fluid output of the component via a fluid pathway comprising first tubing, and a suction opening is coupled to a suction pathway comprising second tubing. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
