The Anodyne® Therapy System is a noninvasive medical
device that delivers Monochromatic Infrared Energy/
(MIRE™) through infrared light-emitting diodes. These
diodes are mounted in exible Therapy Pads, and emit
infrared light at a wavelength of 890 nm - increasing local
circulation and reducing pain, stiness and muscle spasm
where applied.
Anodyne® Therapy Systems received clearance from the
US FDA in 1994 and are compliant to the ISO 13485 Inter-
national Standard.
Review this manual in its entirety prior to using this system
and contact AnodyneTherapy, LLC at 1-800-521-6664 with
