set temperature and resumes only after the temperature drops.
You can also completely eliminate exposure to any EMFs just by
preheating your belt to max temperature and turning it off
before the procedure . Hot crystals accumulate the warmth and
will emit infrared rays and negative ions without electric power.
7. Due to the artisan nature of the construction process there is some
difference between belts regarding the maximum temperature
they may reach in the same conditions and the heating speed . If
the belt is covered with thick blanket or it is on your body, the max
level of the bare belt surface temperature may be in the range of
55-65°C or 133–158°F (displayed by the controller measuring the
temperature of the heating elements inside the belt as 65-72°C),
which is quite normal.
8. The heated amethyst pad can be disconnected from the belt
strap and used as a small amethyst mat on the local areas of
the body . It is usually used for shoulders, knees, elbows, neck,
hands, legs and any other parts of the body. Detachable pad is
great for localized use, when you need to apply healing crystal rays
and focus therapy to some area of your body without causing
the whole body to undergo hyperthermia . You can use it on high
heat for local application without overstimulating the whole body.
It is portable, rather bendable, and can be applied to almost any
part of the body. The Belt can also be used when you are on the
large full body mat for the more intensive procedures.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MediCrystal® belts have been carefully engineered for both effectiveness
and safety. But of course basic safety precautions should always be
observed when using any electrical device.
1. Never immerse the belt in water, do not use the product in wet or
excessively humid areas. Do not use the device when your hands or
body are wet.
2. Changes or modifications to the device can be dangerous and may
cause electric shock. Do not disassemble anything while the power
is ON.
3. Do not put heavy objects on the belt. Do not prick the belt pad
with pins, knives or sharp objects. Do not step, walk, jump, run
and avoid other types of pressure which can damage inner sensors.
4. Do not put chemicals, solvents, volatile or flammable materials
such as benzene, thinner or kerosene on the belt.
5. Make sure that the receptacle where you plan to plug the belt has
the same voltage rating as the specifications indicated for each
product (usually 110-120V/60Hz for North America and Japan and
220-250V/50Hz for Europe and other countries). Do not use travel
adaptors in order not to damage your belt and controller.
6. If your belt is made for U.S. electricity, 110-120V/60Hz, with plugs
for a standard U.S. grounded socket to use in 220-250V countries,
please purchase a step down power converter transforming 220-
240V to 110V. For belts pads we recommend power converters with
150-200W capacity.
7. Always remember to turn off the electrical supply when not in use.
When unplugging device, do not attempt to pull the cord, pull it
out by holding the plug.
8. To protect your belt, use a surge protector. Power spike is the main
reason why a belt would ever malfunction, an electrical surge kills
the controller and renders the belt unusable until a new controller
is purchased.
9. Do not use the device when the cord is damaged or if the electrical
outlet is excessively loose, find another socket that will correctly
hold the plug. Do not use the belt if it is damaged or if connection
between the belt and controller is not tight.
10. Your belt has double safety advanced EMF free heating system
with emergency bimetal switches physically cutting off the
electrical wires if the belt’s main thermostat safety system fails
and it overheats to 180°F (75°C). Anyhow stop using and
immediately unplug the belt from its power source (wall outlet) if
you experience strange conditions such as smell, smoke, shocks
and/or fire.
11. Clean the belt only when the power is off and the controller is
unplugged from the AC outlet.
ADDITIONAL INFO CONTRAINDICATIONS*
*MediCrystal® products are not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease, illness or medical condition or to substitute for medical treatment of any kind. Information
here is never to be construed as medical advice. These products and statements have not been evaluated by U.S. FDA (please, see Disclaimer in this user guide, page 11).
GREAT ADDITION
PILLOWS
* sold separately from the belt
Hard or Soft Amethyst B-Shape
Contour Pillow is a preferable
choice for high heat procedures,
to relax or sleep.*
Firm Amethyst Mini Pillow
is a great addition to be
used under neck or knees.*
9. The belt can also be used as a belly band for concealed wearing on
your waist under clothes. This product is especially valuable for
women’s health . It can be helpful for relief of menstrual pain by
aiding circulation to the lower abdomen*. For this purpose the belt
is carried in non-powered mode, with amethyst pad on the front
and the straps fastened on the back. For lower back therapy the
belt is carried with pad on the back and the straps fastened on
the belly.
10. Once our abdominal region is warm, the body decides that
the thick blanket of visceral and abdominal fat is no longer
needed . Therefore, fat destruction enzymes are vitalized and the
abdominal fat naturally goes away. The MediCrystal® amethyst belt
combined with the diet and healthy active lifestyle provides you
with opportunity to fight the fat in the problem areas of the body
with success.
11. If you sleep with your Belt on the body be sure that the heat level
is on the safe, lowest levels of 35-45°C or use the belt either
unpowered or in negative-ions-only mode (30°C) at night .
Do not use high heat when you go to bed. Do not rely solely on
the timer. Some customers choose to connect the belt through
another timer plugged into the the wall outlet for double safety in
order not to fall asleep on the hot belt and dehydrate. Take extra
care during nighttime use and keep the belt only on low heat
settings .
The following may not be a full list of contraindications but if you
have any of them, avoid use of the far infrared belt in heating
mode completely (unless you get approval from your doctor).
Remember that it is your responsibility to seek the attention of a
health care professional before and during the use of this product,
which is not market as a medical device, nor claimed to be able to
heal or cure any sickness.
1. The recipients of any type of organ transplant should not use FIR
belts. After organ transplant operations, patients usually are
prescribed immunosuppressant drugs to help prevent their immune
system from rejecting the transplanted organs. FIR and hot stone
therapies increase immune system function which is absolutely
contraindicated for organ transplant recipients.*
2. Pacemakers and defibrillators users should not use the FIR belts in
powered modes without cardiologist approval. The function of these
devices may be interfered with by the belts’ magnetic or heating
functions.*
3. Expectant women should not use the heating therapy or FIR belt
in heating mode. Excessive temperatures have a potential for fetal
damage. If pregnancy is possible you should be able to sleep on
the belt or use it in unpowered mode for ion therapy but be sure to
consult a physician before using it for heating.*
4. Newborns and infants should not use the heat therapy. Their core
body temperature rises much faster than that of adults. This occurs
due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory
adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to
regulate body temperature by sweating as well as adults are able to.
Do not use your belt in heating modes on babies who cannot move
away from the belt or on children who cannot speak enough well to
express themselves.*
5. Avoid use of the far infrared belt in heating mode completely (unless
you get approval from your doctor) in the case of a recent stroke,
aortic stenosis, myocardial infarction, heart attack, unstable angina
pectoris, if you take corticosteroids or have brain or other tumors.*
6. Anybody with diseases associated with a reduced ability to sweat
or insensitivity to heat should use the FIR Belt without the heat, in
negative ions mode. Diabetic neuropathy may be a contraindication
because some diabetic patients lose sensitivity to heat.*
7. Nobody with diagnosed diseases, ailments or medical conditions
should ever use FIR devices without approval from and/or supervision
of a physician. It may be extremely dangerous to raise the body
temperature to high levels for people with: Adrenal suppression
disorders, Addison’s disease, adrenal Insufficiency, systematic lupus
erythematous, multiple sclerosis (MS), brain tumors, bypass surgery,
high hypertension or some other conditions.*
8. Anybody taking medications or currently going under medical
treatments, radiation or chemotherapy should consult a physician
before using the belt in heating mode. Some medicines as diuretics,
barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural
heat loss mechanisms. Some over the counter drugs such as
antihistamines, blood thinners may also cause the body to be more
prone to heat stroke. Sleeping aids, pain killers, narcotics, anti-
psychotic medicines may be the most dangerous in impairing one’s
judgement. People under influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxication
as well as patients with mental impairments or dementia should
never use the belt, saunas or other heating devices.*
9. Anybody experiencing a high fever should not use the belt in heating
mode. Only the negative ions function can be used until the fever
stops.*
10. If you use heating creams or balms, liniments, salves or ointments
that contain heatproducing ingredients, you should never use them
with the belt unless recommended by a health care professional so
as to avoid burns.*
11. Anybody with fresh wounds, trauma, joint injuries or swollen hot
joints where the cold therapy is necessary should not use the FIR belt
in heating mode, so as to avoid exacerbating any inflammation.*
12. Anyone with a mental or physical disability or those with limited
mobility should use MediCrystal belts in the negative-ions-only mode
unless under full supervision of a medical professional and have a
doctor’s approval.*
13. It is not recommended to use any part of the heating area of your
belt directly on your head. Our brains do not have same efficient
cooling system as the other body does.
14. Stop using the belt if any known conditions worsen while using
it. Pain should not be experienced when using the belt. However,
the infrared heat will go to areas of disease or discomfort —some
people may perceive this as pain and others as a sensation. If pain is
persistent, discontinue use.*
If you have any of these conditions, avoid using the belt completely
unless under the care of a doctor with expertise in hot stone or
sauna detoxification.
While the above are some of the conditions which may pose dangers
through FIR Belt use, definitely check with your doctor or a health
professional experienced in Far Infrared or sauna therapy about your
specific medical condition.
Remember that it is very important to properly hydrate with pure
and mineralized water before and after sessions with the belt.
