Intended use When it comes into contact with a louse or nit, the lice comb emits a harmless electrical impulse that is imperceptible to humans. When combing the hair, the lice are struck by the electrically charged metal teeth and effectively removed. The lice comb therefore provides a simple, safe and effective method to remove lice. Target group Use the lice comb to treat hair lice and nits only. The lice comb is intended for domestic/private use only, not for commercial use Indication/clinical benefits The Beurer HT 15 lice comb allows you to simply and cleanly rid the scalp of lice and unhatched nits (the eggs of the lice). The lice comb does not use any chemicals, meaning it is particularly gentle on the scalp. The device is only intended for combing human head hair, as well as cat and dog fur.

Protective cap Metal teeth Battery compartment ON/OFF switch

Inserting the battery

1. Slide the battery compartment lid open.

Insert the battery included in delivery into the battery com- partment as shown inside the battery compartment. When inserting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity (+/-) is observed.

3. Then slide the battery compartment lid closed until you hear and feel it click into place.

Only use the lice comb on dry hair. Before use, comb the hair to be treated with a normal comb right to the tips until all tangles are removed.

1. Using your thumb and index finger, press on the notches on the side of the protective cap until it

is released. Pull the protective cap up and off.

2. Move the ON/OFF switch to “I”. A high-pitched beep sounds, which indicates that the device is

switched on and ready for use.

3. Hold the lice comb at an angle of 45° to the scalp. Slowly move the lice comb from the roots to

the tips of the hair. Slowly comb through all of the hair carefully and completely.

4. As soon as a louse comes into contact with the metal teeth of the lice comb, the beep audibly

changes. If the high-pitched beep does not sound again, clean the metal teeth with the clean

5. To end the application, move the ON/OFF switch to “0”. The high-pitched beep is switched off.

6. Clean the lice comb after every use as described in the “Cleaning and maintenance” chapter.

NOTE The lice comb removes hatched lice as well as unhatched nits (the eggs of the lice). Repeat the application every day for two weeks so that the lice are completely eliminated. In order to prevent lice returning, we recommend repeating the application once or twice a week for a further month. This means that any remaining lice can be removed.16

8. Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the protective cap for better cleaning of the metal teeth. Carefully clean the metal teeth after every use using the cleaning brush provided. Check the lice comb for any remnants between the metal teeth.

Clean the device (apart from the metal teeth) after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it is very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products.

Ensure that no water enters the device. If this should happen, remove the batteries and only use the device again when it is completely dry.

9. Frequently asked questions

Who can be affected by head lice? Anyone can be affected by head lice, not only children. Having a case of lice is also not caused by a lack of hygiene. How do you get head lice? Lice cannot fly or jump; they scuttle and crawl. Lice are transferred by direct contact with a per

son that already has lice (for example when two heads come into contact). Where do head lice come from? School is usually not the source of transfer. Lice are found much more often in communities out- side of school. Who should be checked and how? If you have been informed of lice in your community, check all members of your family at least once a week and inform your friends. Why is it important to ascertain whether lice are present immediately? If you find out promptly that lice are present, it is easier to remove them as their numbers will be lower. There is also a lower probability that the lice will be transferred to other family members or acquaintances.
