6. Precautions
The following precautions must be taken :
- UV 1 devices are designed for use at tanning studios,
beauty salons and similar premises under the supervision
of a person who has completed appropriate training; they
may not be sold to the general public.
- The lamp may be damaged if the input voltage does not
remain constant.
- Unplug the lamp if it is not used for a long period.
Never try to dismantle or repair the lamp. Contact the
Peggy Sage service directly for fast, excellent service.
If the power cord is damaged, to prevent a hazard it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, after-sales service or a
similarly qualified person.
- Persons not intended to use this device, particularly
children, must not be present when it is operated.
- This device must not be used by :
• persons under 18 years of age,
• persons with freckles,
• persons with naturally ginger/red hair,
• persons with abnormally discoloured marks on their skin,
• persons with more than 16 moles (of a diameter of
2 mm or more) on their body,
• persons with unusual moles (unusual moles are
defined as asymmetrical moles of a diameter of more
than 5 mm with variable pigmentation and irregular
edges; in case of doubt, seek medical advice),
• persons with sunburn,
• persons who are unable to develop a sun tan or who
do not tan without burning when exposed to the sun,
• persons who burn easily when exposed to the sun,
• persons with a history of serious and frequent sunburn
as a child,
• persons who have or have previously had skin cancer
or any condition that predisposes to skin cancer,
• persons with a family history of melanoma,
• persons who have received or are receiving medical
treatment for medical conditions involving
photosensitivity,
• persons receiving treatment for photosensitivity.
- It is recommended that exposure does not exceed a
person's minimum erythemal dose (MED). If erythema
(reddening of the skin) occurs a few hours after any
duration of exposure, it is recommended that any further
exposure be avoided. After one week, exposure can be
recommenced from the start of the exposure programme;
follow the recommendations regarding the duration of
and intervals between periods of exposure.
- Use of this device must be discontinued until medical
advice is sought if any unexpected side effects such as
itching occur within 48 hours of the first exposure session
inattendus, tels que des démangeaisons, se produisent
dans les 48 h qui suivent la première séance d'exposition.
- After 10 consecutive minutes of exposure under the UV
lamp, an interval of 30 minutes must follow. Wait a mini -
mum of 48 hours between the first 2 exposures. The maxi -
mum permitted number of exposures per year is 200.
- Ultraviolet radiation from the sun or a UV device can
irreversibly damage the skin and eyes. These biological
effects depend on the quality and quantity of the
radiation and individual skin sensitivity.
- Skin can develop sunburn following overexposure.
Excessive repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation from
the sun or a UV device can cause premature skin ageing
and increased risk of developing skin tumours. These
risks increase as the cumulative exposure to UV radiation
increases. Exposure at an early age increases the risk of
skin damage later in life.
- Superficial eye inflammation can occur if not protected,
and in some cases the retina can be damaged following
excessive exposure. Cataract can develop after repeated
exposure.
- In the case of pronounced individual sensitivity or an
allergic reaction to ultraviolet radiation, medical advice
should be sought before beginning exposure.
- The following precautions must be taken:
• always wear the safety glasses provided. Contact
lenses and sunglasses must not be worn in place of
safety glasses;
• remove any cosmetics well before exposure and do not
use sun screen or tanning accelerators;
• some medical conditions or the side effects of some
medicines can be worsened by exposure to UV
radiation. If in doubt, seek medical advice;
• do not expose yourself to both the sun and the device
on the same day;
• seek medical advice if persistent blisters or wounds
appear on the skin or if the pigmentation of any moles
changes;
• protect sensitive parts of the skin from exposure,
including scars, tattoos and the genitals.
