Instructions for use
Simple | quick | well-tolerated
A medical device for symptomatic treatment of insect stings and bites
Intended use
bite away
is a patented medical device for the symptomatic treatment of
®
itching, pain and swelling caused by insect stings and bites, for example
não substitui o tratamento
®
by mosquitoes, wasps, bees, hornets or horseflies. If the device is applied
immediately after the sting/bite, the symptoms can normally be preven
ted altogether. Even if the device is used slightly later, the symptoms can
fade away sooner.
How it works
.
®
bite away
works solely by concentrated heat and is thus completely free
®
. Até que
®
from chemicals.
Hence, bite away
and children.
The application of concentrated heat (local hyperthermia) is a physical
mode of action based on a brief, concentrated application of heat to a
small, limited area of skin. This localised pulse of heat may be sufficient
to trigger a response from the body that reduces itching and pain and
subsequently causes any swelling to go down.
If the device is applied immediately after the sting/bite, the symptoms can
normally be prevented altogether, so the affected site on the body should
be treated as quickly as possible. Even if the device is used slightly later,
the symptoms can fade away sooner.
Administration
bite away
is very simple to use:
®
−
Place the ceramic contact plate of the device onto the sting or bite (re
move the stinger first if necessary) and gently press it against the skin.
−
Then select one of the two treatment times by pressing the correspon
ding button:
3 seconds (lefthand button) for the initial treatment and for peo
ple with sensitive skin
5 seconds (righthand button) for a regular application.
The ceramic contact plate will heat up to a temperature of around
51°C. Once this temperature is reached a LED will light up. The LED
will go off once the device automatically shuts down after the end of
the chosen treatment time. At the start of the heatingup phase and at
the end of the treatment, you will hear an additional acoustic signal.
If necessary, multiple treatment of the same insect sting or bite is possi
ble. Please leave a treatment interval of at least 2 minutes between each
application. Do not exceed a maximum number of 5 applications per hour
on the same insect sting or bite.
Directions for use
bite away
is indicated only for selfadministration by adults and children
®
aged 12 years and older. In children under 12 years of age, it should be
used only with the assistance of an adult.
Cleaning information:
The ceramic contact plate of the device can be easily cleaned with a stan
dard alcohol disinfectant wipe; all other external surfaces, for example,
with a clean cloth.

immediately after application of ointments, creams, lotions etc. on the
affected site
−
on moist skin.
Depending on sensitivity, the treatment temperature may cause some
discomfort.
In sensitive individuals, a temporary reddening of the skin may occur after
use. In rare cases, users with sensitive skin types may experience skin
irritation.
The device indicates failure by flashing the LED 5 times and sounding the
acoustic signal 5 times. This may occur if used incorrectly, e.g. if the user
triggers and operates the device in the air instead of on the skin. If this
error message occurs repeatedly despite proper use, please contact the
manufacturer or distributor.
Do not use the device if damaged or in case of obvious malfunction. Do
not use damaged batteries.
