using your Bluetouch straps
The preferred method for fastening the Pain Relief Patch to the body is by means of one of the
BlueTouch Pain Relief straps. There is a special strap for treatment of the upper back and a special
strap for treatment of the lower back.
Note: Do not wear multiple layers of clothing or tight or thick clothing over the BlueTouch Pain Relief
Patch to prevent the device from switching off before the treatment has been completed. If you wear too
tight or thick clothing, the infrared sensor will measure a too high temperature and switch off the device.
Positioning the lower back strap
To place the BlueTouch Pain Relief Patch in the strap, follow the steps below.
1 Put the lower back strap and the BlueTouch Pain Relief Patch in front of you on a table. Slide
the left side of the BlueTouch Pain Relief Patch behind the elastic edge of the opening in the
strap. (Fig. 11)
2 Then slide the other end of the BlueTouch Pain Relief Patch behind the opposite elastic edge
of the opening so that the whole patch is inside the lower back strap. Check to make sure
that the LEDs are not covered by the material of the strap. If necessary, shift the BlueTouch
Pain Relief Patch a little (Fig. 12).
3 Remove clothing from the area to be treated.
Note: Make sure the skin in the area to be treated is clean, entirely dry and free from creams, lotions
and other cosmetics.
