SIGNS AND SYMBOLS

The following symbols are used on the device, in these instructions for use, on the packaging, and on the type plate for the device:

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 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, myogenesis, myotendopathies, fibrositis)
  • Arthralgia in arthritis
  • Rheumatic joint problems (not with inflammatory flareups)
