■ The irradiation should not exceed the minimal erythema dose (MED). If ery-
thema (skin redness) occurs several hours after irradiation there should be no
further applications made. In this case, the next irradiation should not take
place before one week after the date of the skin redness.
■ If unexpected side eff ects such as itching occur within 48 hours after the fi rst
application of the UV appliance, you should consult a doctor before receiving
further UV irradiation.
■ Recommended irradiation timetable, stating the time-period and intervals.
■ The appliance may not be used if the timer is not working properly.
■ Use only lamps of the specifi ed type. The use of a UV lamp from another manu-
facturer or of a diff erent type will lead to the revocation of the warranty.
■ UV radiation from the sun or from UV appliances can cause both skin and eye
damage, which may be irreversible. These biological eff ects depend on the
quality and quantity of the radiation and on the skin and eye sensitivity of the
individual person.
■ The skin can suff er from sunburn after excessive exposure to radiation. Too
frequent UV radiation from the sun or UV appliances can lead to premature
skin aging and cause an increased risk of skin cancer. This risk increases with
increasingly cumulative UV exposures. UV radiation at a young age increases
the subsequent risk of skin cancer.
■ UV radiation can lead to injuries to the eyes and skin, such as premature skin
aging and even skin cancer. Read these operating instructions carefully. Some
medications or cosmetics increase the sensitivity to UV radiation.
■ The unprotected eye can suff er superfi cial infl ammation and, in some cases,
excessive exposure may cause damage to the retina. Frequently repeated
exposures can lead to cataracts.
■ In the event of individually identifi ed sensitivity or allergic reactions to UV radia-
tion, you should fi rst seek medical advice before beginning the irradiation.
■ Certain ailments or the side eff ects of certain drugs may be exacerbated by
UV irradiation. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
■ There should be a period of at least 48 hours between the fi rst two exposures.
■ Avoid sunbathing and use of the appliance on the same day. This could lead
to skin irritation.
■ Pay heed to the instructions on the irradiation time, time intervals for the irradiation
and the distance to be from the lamp. If you do not, it could lead to skin irritation.
■ Consult your doctor if persistent tumours or ulcers form, or changes in moles
come about or sores develop.
■ Protect sensitive skin areas, such as scars, tattoos and the genitals, from irradiation.
■ Do not carry out more than 5 treatments per day. This could lead to skin irritation.
■ Do not exceed the recommended number of 400 treatments per year.
■ Remove cosmetics and sun care products before using the appliance. If you
do not, it could lead to skin irritation.
