Intended Use

This infrared lamp is designed for irradiating the human body, providing heat therapy.

Target Group

The device is intended for domestic use by adults without impaired sensory functions who are fully aware of the risks.

Clinical Application

The infrared lamp can be used to warm specific skin areas, improving blood circulation and metabolism. Infrared radiation stimulates healing processes.

Indications

Can be used as supportive therapy for conditions such as:

• Throat, nose, and ear conditions (e.g., acute ear inflammation)
• Acne
• Muscle tension (e.g., periarticular soft tissue diseases, myalgia, myogelosis, myotendinopathy, fibrositis)
• Joint inflammation with arthrosis
• Rheumatoid joint diseases (not during acute flare-ups)

Contraindications

Do not use if you have:

• Impaired sensory perception or cognitive abilities.
• Sensitivity to heat limitations (e.g., due to diabetes, paraplegia, concentration disorders, skin conditions, scars, age, medication, or alcohol).
• Acute inflammatory joint diseases, infections, circulatory disorders, heart failure, recent heart attack, thyroid or adrenal gland issues, open wounds, edema, or are undergoing radiotherapy (within 3 months).
• Impaired sensation in the treatment area.
• Pregnancy (avoid abdominal area).
• Implanted medical devices (consult a doctor).
• Children should be supervised to prevent misuse.

Side Effects

Skin hypersensitivity or allergic reactions may occur due to medications, cosmetics, or food. Discontinue use immediately if symptoms appear. Skin irritation (tingling, itching, burning) may occur; adjust distance or reduce treatment time.

Commissioning

• Remove all packaging materials before use.
• Check the device for any damage. Do not use if damaged.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt, sunlight, and moisture.

Preparation for Treatment

1. Position yourself comfortably in front of the lamp.
2. Adjust the tilt angle of the lamp for optimal positioning.
3. Select a distance where the heat feels pleasant. Increase distance if the heat is too intense.
4. Always wear the provided protective eyewear.

Treatment Time

• Use the on/off switch (5) to turn the device on. The timer (4) defaults to 15 minutes.
• Use the timer selection button (3) to set the desired treatment time (1-15 minutes).
• The device will automatically switch off after the set time. Press the on/off switch to stop early.
• Do not use for longer than 15 minutes at a time.

After Use

• The fan will run for 5 minutes to cool the device. Do not switch off during this cooling period.
• Unplug the device after it has cooled down.
• Do not cover or store the device while it is still hot.

Cleaning

• Danger of electric shock: Turn off and unplug the device before cleaning. Allow it to cool completely.
• Do not allow water to enter the device.
• Clean the device with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Clean the protective eyewear with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Emitter Replacement

• Danger of electric shock: Always unplug the device before replacing the emitter.
• Danger of burns: Allow the device to cool completely before replacement.
• Use only the specified replacement emitter type (Part No. 110.048).
• Follow the instructions and diagrams (A, B, C) for replacement.
• Emitters are not covered by warranty.

Troubleshooting

• Problem: Infrared emitter does not light up. Possible Cause: On/off switch not pressed, or no power. Solution: Press the on/off switch; check power connection.
• Problem: Infrared emitter switches off during operation. Possible Cause: Timer expired, emitter damaged, or overheating protection activated. Solution: Check timer setting, ensure emitter is correctly installed, allow device to cool down and restart. Contact service if issues persist.
