3. Proper use
Intended use
The insect bite healer is intended for relieving itching, swelling or inflam-
mation caused by insect bites or stings through heat (local hyperthermia).
Target group
Only use the insect bite healer to treat insect bites or stings. The insect bite
healer is intended for domestic/private use only, not for commercial use.
Indication/clinical benefits
Many insect bites and stings result in painful and swollen sting and bite
marks. These bites/stings often cause severe itching. The insect bite healer
oers very eective relief for insect bites and stings through heat. The toxins
that can cause itching, swelling and inflammation are generally made up of
protein molecules. Proteins change their molecular structure when a certain
temperature limit is exceeded, and therefore often lose their eect. As a re-

6
sult, the itching subsides and your symptoms improve; it's often noted that
the area heals more comfortably.
4. Warnings and safety notes
Contraindications
• Do not use the device if you suer from diabetes. Sensitivity to pain could,
in certain circumstances, be reduced and diabetics may burn themselves.
• Do not use the device on people with disabilities, children under 3 years
old or people with reduced sensitivity to heat. This includes people with
skin alterations due to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after
taking pain relief medication, drinking alcohol or taking drugs.
• Do not use the device on acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritat-
ed) skin (e.g. inflamed skin,whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes,
(e.g. allergies), burns, frostbite, bruises, swellings, both open and healing
wounds, and post-operative scars where the healing process could be
aected).
• Do not use the device if you are suering from a fever.
• Do not use the device on sensitive areas of skin.
• Do not use the device if you have any sensory impairment that reduces the
feeling of pain (e.g. metabolic disorders).

6. Initial use
Inserting the batteries
1. Push open the battery compartment lid (1).
2. Insert the batteries included in delivery into the battery compartment as
shown inside the battery compartment. When inserting the batteries, en-
sure that the correct polarity (+/-) is observed.
3. Slide the battery compartment lid (1) closed until you feel and hear it click
into place.
7. Usage
WARNING
Before use, make sure that there is no insect sting remaining in the area that
was stung. Remove the sting carefully before use. Use immediately after the
insect bite or sting achieves the best results, as the toxins have not yet been
able to take full eect in the skin. If you wait too long to treat the area that
has been stung or bitten and itching, inflammation and swelling has already
started, the insect bite healer can only have a limited eect. Nevertheless,
treat the area with the insect bite healer. Usually, itching can be relieved and
healing can be sped up.
1. Slide the ON/OFF switch (2) towards the heating plate (3) with the symbol
“I” for ON. The device status LED (6) lights up in blue and indicates to you
that the device is ready to use.
2. You have the option to choose between 2 dierent application times, de-
pending on how sensitive your skin is:

12
- Place the heating plate (3) of the device on the area that has been stung
or bitten.
- For a 3-second application, press the activation button (5) once. Half of
the illuminated ring (4) lighting up blue indicates that the application is
starting. This short application time is recommended for first use or use
on sensitive skin.
- For a 6-second application, press the activation button (5) twice in quick
succession. The blue illuminated ring (4) is completely lit up here and
indicates that the treatment is starting. This application time is recom-
mended for regular use on normal skin.
3. After the end of the application, an acoustic signal sounds, heating of the
heating plate (3) is automatically stopped and the blue illuminated ring
(4) goes out. Remove the heating plate (3) from the area of skin once the
signal sounds.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the sensitivity of the person using the device and of the area
of skin, the treatment temperature may feel unpleasant and cause slight skin
redness and, in rare cases, irritated skin. If the heat function feels too hot,
stop treatment immediately.
4. If required, you can use the heat function of the insect bite healer on the
sting/bite again after a break of 2 minutes or also use it immediately on
another sting/bite in a dierent area. The maximum number of 5 applica-
tions per hour on the same treatment area must not be exceeded.

13
5. If the device is no longer required, set it to “OFF” again using the ON/OFF
switch (2). This is indicated by the “O” symbol. The blue device status
LED (6) turns o.
6. Before storing, make sure that the device is switched o and the heating
plate (3) has cooled down.
Battery warning
Before the battery level becomes too low for other applications, the device
status LED (6) starts to flash 3x and an acoustic signal sounds 3x. Replace
both batteries soon, as described in section 6.
8. Cleaning and maintenance
Observe the following hygiene instructions to avoid health risks:
• The device is intended for multiple uses.
• It is recommended that the device is cleaned before first use and each
additional use.
• The device must be switched o, allowed to cool down and the batteries
removed each time before cleaning.
• Use only soft, dry cloths for cleaning.
• Never use any substances for cleaning that could potentially be toxic if
they came into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or if they
were swallowed or inhaled. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and
never submerge the device in water.
• Do not clean the device or accessories in the dishwasher.
• Avoid mechanical cleaning with brushes or similar, as this could result in
irreparable damage.

14
• When using the device on multiple areas that have been stung and bitten,
it is recommended that you clean the heating plate each time. This reduc-
es the possibility of germs and bacteria being transferred from one area of
skin to the next. Use a commercially available alcohol disinfection wipe to
disinfect the heating plate.
