Equipment & Calibration

YOU COMPLETED SIX MODULES LEARNING WHAT TO ASSESS.

THIS MODULE TEACHES WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS.

IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR MACHINE, YOUR DIAGNOSTIC DATA HAS NOWHERE TO GO.

The Foundation Track built diagnostic methodology. That knowledge is inert until it meets equipment. The moment you touch machine to scalp, every diagnostic variable interacts with every equipment variable.

MODULE OVERVIEW

The Foundation Track built a complete diagnostic methodology. You can read a skull, map density, profile skin, prescribe colour, classify texture, and produce a Diagnostic File. That knowledge is inert until it meets equipment.

Most SMP training treats equipment as preference. KORT treats equipment as calibrated instrumentation. The machine is not a tool you pick up. It is an instrument you set, based on diagnostic data, before every session.

This module covers five domains: machine architecture, needle configuration, pigment systems, voltage and speed calibration, and workstation standards.

THE KORT PRINCIPLE

The machine is not a tool you pick up. It is an instrument you set, based on diagnostic data, before every session. Your equipment configuration must match your diagnostic data for the specific client, zone, and session you are about to perform.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Evaluate machine architecture and select equipment optimised for SMP precision.

Apply the KORT Needle Decision Matrix to select configurations based on zone, texture, and session.

Assess pigment systems using the seven-criterion KORT Pigment Evaluation Protocol.

Calibrate voltage and speed settings by Fitzpatrick type, scalp zone, and tissue condition.

Implement the three-zone workstation layout and infection control protocols.

Execute the eight-step KORT Pre-Session Equipment Protocol.

Integration Track Overview

◆KORT Rule 21

You completed six modules learning what to assess. This module teaches you what is in your hands. If you do not understand your machine, your needle, and your pigment at the same level you understand your client's scalp, your diagnostic data has nowhere to go.

The Integration Track assumes Foundation Track fluency. Every section references diagnostic data from Modules 1–6. If a concept feels unfamiliar—Fitzpatrick typing, Walker classification, the KORT eight-zone grid—revisit the relevant Foundation module before continuing.

This module covers five domains: machine architecture, needle configuration, pigment systems, voltage and speed calibration, and workstation standards.
