Philips Lampe infrarouge InfraCare - Manual (Page 9)

Note: The heat of the appliance does not reach its full intensity until several minutes after you switch
on the appliance. This does not mean, however, that the appliance is not effective during these first
minutes.
Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment depends on the type of treatment and the person to be treated.
Treatment of a single muscle or joint should last approximately 15 minutes. If necessary, the
treatment can be repeated several times a day. A longer treatment time than 15 minutes does not
lead to better results. You can repeat the course of several treatments a day on several consecutive
days to get a result. If there is no improvement after 6-8 treatments, stop using the appliance and
consult your doctor. For chronic problems, the appliance can be used for longer periods of time, as
long as you follow the instructions given in the ‘Warning’ section in chapter ‘Important’.
