The Benefits Of Your Phototherapy With Bionase; Starting Up; Packaging / Scope Of Supply; Activation / Replacing The Battery - Caremaxx Bionase Mode D'emploi

Now with your Bionase from Caremaxx
you can quite easily carry out yourself what
until recently was only available as a very
cost-intensive therapy in special centres.
Diodes that are able to emit red light of
exactly the right wavelength (approx.
660nm) have been developed for the
Bionase. Alleviation of allergic symptoms
and lessening of the over-sensitivity of the
nasal mucosa sets in at this wavelength.
The benefits of your phototherapy with
Bionase:
• Phototherapy is a drug-free treatment.
• The highly effective application lasting
only approx. 4 minutes can be carried
out practically anywhere.
• The treatment has no effect on other
organs or body parts due to its use
locally.
The typical symptoms of hay fever were
significantly reduced in a clinical test
using the Bionase. Some symptoms were
alleviated or even eliminated completely
in a matter of only a few hours. In the
majority of patients it was possible to
identify a clear improvement in the
condition within two weeks.

3 Starting up

Packaging / scope of supply

We would like our high-quality medical
products to reach you in the same condition
as they left us. For this reason your Bionase
is packed in a sturdy protective package
made from environmentally compatible
materials. If you do not want to use the
box for storing the appliance, it may be
sent for recycling with your waste paper.
Please dispose of the plastic films at the
local waste site. The package contains the
following parts:
• 1 Bionase appliance
• 1 Battery (monobloc 9 Volt, 6LR61)
• 1 Nasal applicator
• 1 Instructions for use
Please consult your dealer if you discover
that the appliance is damaged or fails to
function as expected after unpacking.

Activation / replacing the battery

Important: The 9V monobloc battery
is already inserted on delivery of the
appliance. The contacts are protected
with an insulating strip to prevent the
battery from discharging. This insulating
strip must be removed prior to starting
the appliance up for the first time. Press
down on the symbol on the battery
compartment lid (back of the appliance)
and at the same time slide it in the
direction of the arrow. Now pull out the
insulating strip by the tab. Then replace
the battery compartment lid and slide it
upwards until it clicks audibly into place.
After approx. 100 applications, the green
pilot LED will flash after pressing the ON
button if the battery power is insufficient
for another application. Open the battery
compartment (as describes above), remove
the spent battery and insert a new 9 volt
monobloc battery 6LR61 (in the position
shown inside the battery compartment).
Close the battery compartment again.
Caution! Batteries may not be disposed
of with your domestic waste under any
22
circumstances. Hand them in to your
dealer or to your local collection point for
recycling.

4 Phototherapy with Bionase

Use of the Bionase appliance

• Insert the plug on the cable of the
nasal applicator into the socket of
your Bionase appliance.
• The nasal applicator must be spread
slightly apart to allow the LEDs to be
inserted in the nostrils. Insert the LEDs
as far as possible into the nostrils. The
nasal applicator should nevertheless
sit comfortably.
• Press the ON button to start the
treatment and begin light emission.
The green pilot LED on the front of
your Bionase will be lit constantly
during use.
• Light emission will be ended
automatically after approx.
minutes. The green pilot LED will go
out thus indicating that the application
has ended.
• Now remove the applicator from the
nostrils.
Notes:
• If the green pilot LED flashes this
indicates that the cable is
plugged in correctly or that there is
insufficient voltage in the battery for
an application.
• If the green pilot LED neither lights
up nor flashes this indicates that the
battery has been incorrectly inserted
or is completely discharged.

Duration and frequency of application

• An application with the Bionase
appliance only lasts approx. 4 minutes.
During this time, the LEDs radiate red
light having a wavelength of approx.
660nm and a defined intensity. The
automatic shut-off ensures that the
duration of treatment always remains
the same and prevents the nasal
mucosa from being overloaded.
• The Bionase should be used three times
a day at the beginning of treatment.
• Treatment should be spread over the
course of a day. The first application
should be carried out either before
or after breakfast and the last in the
evening before going to bed whilst
the third application can be carried
out during the day simply by taking
the appliance with you and using it
when the opportunity arises.
Note:
4½
The application should be continued for
at least one week and preferable two to
achieve the desired treatment result.

Preventive treatment

Your Bionase appliance may be used not
only in the acute phase of the illness but
also as a preventive measure. You will
most likely know the period during which
not
your allergy starts or the type of pollen
that causes it.
Find out about the current pollen count
situation, e.g. on the internet. This way you
can gain experience of when the different
types of pollen are likely to be most active
in your area and take preventive measures
in good time.
