To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome. With the Philips InfraCare (150W), you can comfortably relieve muscle and joint pain at home. Just like the sun, the device emits infrared light. The Philips Infrared lamp emits infrared light that is required to achieve the intended therapeutic effect. The Philips InfraCare (150W) can also be used for muscle relaxation or for preparation for a massage. Effects of an infrared lamp The InfraCare provides infrared light, which penetrates deeply into the skin and warms the tissues. The warmth modulates the neuronal signals to the brain and thus reduces pain. Warmth also stimulates the local blood circulation and dilates the blood vessels, which accelerates the transport of substances necessary to rebuild and nourish the body’s tissues. Furthermore, infrared warmth generated by infrared light speeds up the metabolic process and the removal of metabolic waste products from the body. Warmth reduces stiffness and makes joints more flexible because it makes tissue more pliable. The benefits described can help to alleviate pain due to muscle and joint problems. Note: Read the ‘Warning’ section in chapter ‘Important safety information’ and follow the instructions before you use the device.

EnglishIntended use The infrared lamp is a local warmth therapy device. Possible therapeutic applications are:
