CONTROL SETTINGS

All THERMOTEX systems come with hi-low power settings. On the high setting, the micron range is 9.1089 to 8.7778 based on the range surface temperatures of 45c to 57c. On the low setting after full heat up, the micron range holds steady at 9.1376 based on surface temperatures of 44c.

HOW TO POSITION THE PADS

It is important to note that the infrared energy radiates from one side of the pad only, with the hard side of the THERMOTEX pad placed towards the body. The padded side does not heat.

TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

The infrared inserts are not flexible and should not be bent at any time.? Use THERMOTEX for a minimum of 30 – 45 minutes (longer if required) on each area being treated. During the first two weeks, it is recommended that THERMOTEX be used twice per day, or 3 to 4 times per day for chronic pain relief. Begin treatment on the high setting for the first 15 minutes and on the low setting thereafter.? All prolonged use of THERMOTEX must be on the low setting.

It is important to understand that the heat during treatments will not always feel the same, this is different for each individual and varying reactions will occur in the body depending on the stage of rehabilitation.? After you have been using THERMOTEX regularly, you may find that it does not feel as warm as it did earlier. There is NOTHING wrong with your THERMOTEX, it is a good sign and means that it is working well and you will be experiencing relief of pain. It is also normal to feel greater heat on one side of your knee than the other, or on one part of your body.? If the heat feels too hot just place a towel of throw blanket between you and the infrared pad as you still get the benefits of the rays through the cloth.
