I. Product Description
The DPL™ Therapy System is a compact infrared lamp for therapeutic
heating. It delivers infrared light to the skin resulting in a safe elevation
of the skin temperature for therapeutic effects. The lamps are contained
in two separate panels on a desk stand. The panels are detachable for
use individually or as a pair on the body. A Velcro strap is used to hold
the panels to the body. The product has an automatic 17-minute timed
cycle which may be repeated by activating the ON cycle. There are no
user settings or adjustments.

and joint aches, pains and stiffness; temporary relief of minor pain and
stiffness associated with arthritis; and to temporarily increase local blood
circulation.
