Manual Qiu V 1.7 engl.

Introduction

Dear customer,

Thank  you  for  your  decision  to  use  the  Qiu.  With  the  Qiu  you  have  purchased  a  future-

oriented medical device, developed by medical doctors over years of research. This man-

ual  contains  some  important  information. Please read it carefully before you begin using 

the device and keep it safe for later reference.

Purpose

The Qiu is a medical biofeedback device to enhance neurocardial and autonomic regulation 

and to improve your ability to relax. The device can be used as a supportive tool for many 

disorders,  whenever improvement  of  autonomic  regulation  can  advance  the  healing pro-

cess.  The  Qiu  can  also  be  used  by  people  with  occupational  stress  as  a  stress-relieving 

tool, and by athletes for effective mental training. No matter what your purpose for using 

the Qiu, please use it according to the instructions of your therapist.

Contraindications

The Qiu is not suitable for patients suffering from severe heart rhythm disorders, because 

in  such  patients  the  heart  rate  does  not  sufficiently  reflect  the  activity  of  the  autonomic 

nervous  system.  In  such  cases,  effective  biofeedback  training  is  not  possible.  However, 

occasional  ectopic  beats  do  not  represent  a  contraindication.  If  you  are  in  doubt, please 

ask your therapist.
