- Total exposure should not exceed the minimum UV radiation exposure
required to produce a noticeable reddening of the skin (a person's
minimum erythemal dose (MED)). If skin reddening (erythema) appears
approximately 16 to 24h after exposure of any duration, further exposure
should be discontinued. Exposure can be recommenced one week after
the start of the exposure programme.
- Use of this device must be discontinued until medical advice is sought if
any unexpected side effects such as itching occur within 48h of the first
exposure session inattendus, tels que des démangeaisons, se produisent
dans les 48h qui suivent la première séance d'exposition.
- After 10 consecutive minutes of exposure under the UV lamp, an interval
of 30min must follow. Wait a minimum of 48h between the first two
exposures. The maximum permitted number of exposures per year is 200.
- Ultraviolet radiation from the sun or a UV device can irreversibly damage
the skin and eyes. These biological effects depend on the quality and
quantity of the radiation and individual skin sensitivity.
- Skin can develop sunburn following overexposure. Excessive repeated
exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or a UV device can cause
premature skin ageing and increased risk of developing skin tumours.
These risks increase as the cumulative exposure to UV radiation increases.
Exposure at an early age increases the risk of skin damage later in life.
- Superficial eye inflammation can occur if not protected, and in some cases
the retina can be damaged following excessive exposure. Cataract can
develop after repeated exposure.
- In the case of pronounced individual sensitivity or an allergic reaction to
ultraviolet radiation, medical advice should be sought before beginning
exposure.
