Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia (over-

heating). The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of

fatal hyperthermia in spas. A description of the causes, symptoms, and

effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches

a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F

(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy

(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body (feeling

of being too hot). The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard;

• Failure to perceive heat;

• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;

• Physical inability to exit spa;

• Fetal damage in pregnant women; and

Unconsciousness and DANGER of drowning.

A Warning Sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install at
