MRI NOTICE

• This equipment contains electromagnetic components whose operation can be affected by intense electromagnetic fields. Do not operate this device in an MRI environment or the vicinity of high-frequency surgical diathermy equipment, defibrillators, or short-wave therapy equipment.
• Electromagnetic interference could disrupt the operation of the device.

IR NOTICE

• IR emitted from this device. Do not stare at the light source.
• This device emits near-infrared (IR) at 850nm. Use the included eye protection when near-infrared (NIR) mode is active. Do not stare directly into the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and avoid the beam window when not using the therapy.
• This device has been tested to IEC 62471 standards and is classified as a risk group 1 (low risk) device. Associated hazard: cornea/lens infrared hazard 780nm to 3000nm.
• IEC 62471 IR radiation limits for the eye at 200mm
• Exempt limits = 100 w/m2
• Risk Group 1 limits (low) = 570 w/ m2
• Risk Group 2 limits (med) = 3200 w/ m2

RISK GROUP 1 (LOW RISK)
The basis for this classification is that the lamp does not pose a hazard due to normal behavioral limitations on exposure. This requirement is met by any lamp that exceeds the limits for the Exempt Group but that does not pose:

• An actinic ultraviolet hazard (Es) within 10000 s. nor
• A near-ultraviolet hazard (EUVA) within 300 s. nor
• A retinal blue-light hazard (LB) within 100 s nor

PRODUCT SECS: THE LUMEBOX 2.0® PORTABLE HAND-HELD

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• The LUMEBOX 2.0 portable device is a RED/IR Phototherapy Lamp and is not intended to cure, h, er diagnose any medical condition. Red light therapy may help optimize cellular function, supporting overall health and wellness, including but not limited to benefits for skin and recovery.
• The LUMEBOX 2.0® hand-held is intended for at-home or on-the-go use and can also be used for in-office commercial applications. Operation is intended for the user.
• If you are a first-time user of LUMEBOX 2.0® or any RED/ NIR device and have questions or may be concerned about a pre-existing medical diagnosis or other underlying condition, please consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner or doctor before use.

ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY

This equipment is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The user of this equipment sshould ensurethat it is used in such an environment.

1. The ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 Mhz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz, to 40.70 MHz.
2. Field strengths from fixed frequencies, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcasts, and TV broadcasts cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the equipment.

RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCES

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Notes:

• At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
• These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• SHOULD I WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR?
  • Eye protection should always be used when operating the device.
  • Do not stare directly at the LEDs. We recommend wearing the goggles provided with the LUMEBOX if your eyes are within the beam window. The window covers the full front surface of the device. If your eyes are sensitive to light or if you take medications that cause photosensitivity, consult a medical professional before use.
• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIR and RED light wavelengths?
  Both red light at 660nm and near-infrared light at 850nm have been shown to enhance cellular function. The primary difference is red light is absorbed by the skin tissue, while NIR light is invisible to the human eye and penetrates deeper into the tissue.
• CAN I WEAR CLOTHES WHEN USING LUMEBOX 2.0?
  Yes, you can wear clothes during your treatment sessions. When you are treating specific areas of the body, those areas should be fully exposed to the light and not covered by clothing.
• CAN I USE LUMEBOX UNDER A HEAVY BLANKET OR THICK CLOTHING?
  Everyone is different, and factors like ambient temperature and skin tolerance play a role. While some may find it comfortable, we generally recommend keeping the back of your LUMEBOX uncovered during use, as covering it with a heavy blanket or thick clothing may cause the device to overheat.
• CAN THE DEVICE INTERFERE WITH MEDICATIONS?
  While several studies have shown light therapy to be safe, it is important to consult with a medical professional about the medications you are using before operating the device.
• IS THE DEVICE SAFE FOR CHILDREN?
  While several studies have shown light therapy to be safe, it is important to consult with a medical professional before use with children. Children should never use the device without parental supervision.
