b-intense b-control deluxe Bedienungsanleitung Seite 45

Notes for safe use
› Use the b-intense
® infrared cabin according to the intended purpose defined in the operation manual.
› The b-intense infrared cabin must be used with naked and at first dry back.
®
› The b-intense infrared cabin MUST NOT be used without headrest and backrest.
®
› Open wounds, scars e.g. must be covered in the applicated areas.
› The surrounding temperature should not be lower than 18°C during application.
› Warm the b-intense
® infrared cabin up to 25–28°C before starting for ideal results.
› Adjust the neck support so the back of your head rests centrally.
› Use less intensity (max. 50%) in the back heater in the beginning of the application for at least 5 minutes.
› Raise the intensity of the back heater after heating up in small measures (5-10% per 5 minutes), so you always feel a pleasant warmth
in the back.
› Reduce the intensity of the back heater for the last 5-10 minutes of application about 10% per 2 minutes.
› Enable enough air circulation between the back and the heater.
› Be careful not to touch the surface of the heater with your back.
› Watch out for a burning or painful feeling in the exposed area. Reduce the intensity if necessary.
› The b-intense infrared cabin is not intended for face application. Make sure to keep a safe distance to the front heater and do not look
®
directly into the heater for more than 9 minutes. Use safety glasses if necessary (at least protection level 4-4 according to EN171).
› Always use a towel for sitting.
› Clean the cabin according to the instructions.
› NEVER cover the infrared heaters or their ventilation system.
Pay attention to all safety notices and application notes for your own safety!
Medical mode of action
Infrared radiation (IR radiation) is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The most important natural source of IR radiation is the sun, about
54% of the solar radiation reaching the earth's surface is IR radiation. In addition, the human skin is increasingly exposed to artificial IR sources
in the cosmetic and wellness sector, but also in the medical field. The application of electromagnetic radiation for heat application is widely
used.
Infrared rays are absorbed by the uppermost skin layers and converted into heat. IR exposure is therefore perceived as heat. Due to the ther-
mal stress on the skin, the body reacts with heat defense reactions which are triggered gradually. The physiological response to heat depends
on the tissue temperature, the duration and extent of the temperature increase, the ambient temperature and the size of the irradiated area.
The human organism is able to keep its core body temperature relatively constant regardless of fluctuations in ambient temperature. This is due
to an efficient thermoregulation system, which acts as a negative feedback system to counteract deviations in the actual temperature value by
more than ±0.1% of the setpoint. When heated, there is an increase in skin circulation and sweat secretion. As the vessels dilate, more blood
can pass from the body core to the skin surface, the blood cools the skin and dissipates the heat. Deeper skin layers are not heated directly
by infrared radiation, but by heat conduction. The increased production of sweat results from the subsequent evaporation at the skin surface
to cool down and is therefore an important thermoregulatory mechanism. In addition, sweat also contributes to the optimal moisture supply
of the skin.
