aRecommended treatment duration times were 30 min for foot and 60 min for other anatomical locations. For patients treated on the foot, the treatment time corresponding to the percentage duration was 27–33 min for ≥90% to <110% and >33 min for ≥110%. For patients treated on other locations, the treatment time corresponding to the percentage duration was 54–66 min for ≥90% to <110% and >66 min for ≥110%.
