3. INTENDED USE
Purpose
The infrared lamp is intended for irradiating the human body.
Through infrared light radiation, heat is conveyed to the individual.
Target group
This device is intended for self-treatment in the home, and not in
professional healthcare facilities. The application is suitable for all
adults who are not sensory impaired and who are fully conscious.
Clinical benefits
The infrared lamp allows the user to heat specific areas of the
skin using infrared light. As a result, blood supply to the irradiated
skin increases and the metabolic rate in the temperature field also
increases. The body's healing process is stimulated by the effects
of the infrared light. Healing processes are therefore supported in
a targeted manner.
Indications
The user can use it as additional therapy in the treatment of the
following diseases:
• Ear, nose and throat disorders, e.g. acute rhinitis
• Acne
• Muscular tension, e.g.
- Periarthropathic soft tissue diseases (myalgia, myogelo-
sis, myotendopathies, fibrositis)
- Arthralgia in arthritis
- Rheumatic joint problems (not with inflammatory flare-
ups)
Contraindications
 WARNING
• This device is not intended for use by people with restricted
physical, sensory, or mental skills, or those who lack expe-
rience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a
person who has responsibility for their safety or they receive
instructions from this person on how to use the device, so as
to prevent the risk of fire or burns.
• Do NOT use this device on people who are insensitive to
heat.
Heat sensitivity can be lessened or increased in the follow-
ing cases:
- Diabetic patients
- Paraplegia patients
- People who are drowsy, have dementia, or problems with
concentration
- People with skin alterations due to illness
- People with scarred tissue in the area of application
- On children and elderly people

- Circulatory disorders
- Decompensated cardiac insufficiency or severe cardiac
arrhythmia
- Acute or recent myocardial infarction
- Derailed diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, adrenal in-
sufficiency

• Do not operate the device if you are wearing an implant, par-
ticularly if it is located in the area of the body to be treated. If
you have any doubts, consult your doctor.
• If you are pregnant, do not operate the device near your ab-
domen, in order to prevent this area from overheating. If you
have any doubts, consult your doctor.
• This device is not intended for use by children. Children
should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with
the device to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
Undesirable side effects
• Medication, cosmetics or food can, under certain conditions,
lead to a hypersensitive or allergic skin reaction. In this case,
the irradiation must be stopped immediately.
• During treatment, an appropriate distance must be main-
tained between the infrared lamp and the desired treatment
area to prevent skin irritation, such as tingling, itching and
burning, or excessive sensitivity to heat. Discontinue treat-
ment if this is the case. Alternatively, increase the radiation
distance and/or reduce the radiation duration.
• Prolonged use may cause skin burns.
Intended use of protective eyewear
The protective eyewear is exclusively intended for protecting your
eyes against infrared radiation while using an infrared lamp. The
protective eyewear provides protection against infrared radia-
tion only. The protective eyewear does NOT provide protection
against other types of radiation. Use the protective eyewear only
