Biomat Contraindications
Biomat Contraindications and Cautions
Before using a Biomat, always seek advice from your doctor or primary care provider. Remember to drink plenty of water while utilizing the Biomat to keep hydrated and optimize the benefits of your treatements.
Biomat contraindications
Organ transplants: The Biomat should not be used by individuals who have had an organ transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.). Following an organ transplant, patients will need to take anti-rejection medicines to help prevent their immune system from attacking or rejecting the new organ. The Biomat’s far infrared radiation increases the function of the immune system
External pacemaker: The Biomat is not recommended for individuals who rely on an external pacemaker.
Renal or kidney failure: We don’t recommend the Biomat for people with renal or kidney failure. The usage of the Biomat may improve circulation in the body, which can pressure the kidneys and cause stress.
Use with caution
Heat sensitive MS: The Biomat can be used with negative ions and no heat. We recommend that anyone with sensitive MS utilize the device only with negative ions. Anyone with any other type of MS may use the Biomat at any temperature with the guidance of a physician.
Fever: Use the Biomat on its lowest setting (no heat) with negative ions if you have a high fever.
Radiation therapy/chemotherapy: The Biomat with negative ions only is recommended for people who have already received radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Before using the Biomat, check with your doctor to see if it’s safe to use with the heat turned on. Before using, please consult with your oncologist.
Bypass surgery: We recommend using the Biomat on low heat only (95F-113F). The Biomat promotes blood circulation, which may cause normal vessels to expand. Some people who have undergone bypass surgery develop discomfort since their blood vessels are unable to expand.
Internal pacemaker: The Biomat may damage a pacemaker. We recommend that you use the Biomat on low heat only (95F-113F). The increase in circulation of blood brought about by the Biomat can cause a heartbeat to rise. Some users of pacemakers have reported discomfort as their heart rate is regulated by the device.
Brain tumor: We recommend that anyone with a brain tumor use the Biomat on low heat (95F-113F).
Diabetes: When using the Biomat, we recommend only heating it to low (95F-113F) on a regular basis. People with diabetes may have damaged skin, which can result in heat burns from the Biomat since their skin is weakened. It’s difficult to recover once skin has been injured.
High blood pressure (hypertension): We recommend that persons with chronically high blood pressure use the Biomat cautiously before and after usage, as well as on low heat (95F-113F). Blood pressure may rise suddenly if your body temperature or outside temperature changes.
Newborn babies: We recommend that parents avoid using the Biomat on low heat or just using negative ions until their newborn is at least six months old.
Young children: Please follow these instructions carefully. Children should only use the Biomat on low heat (95F-113F) and with adult supervision, since high temperatures can’t be regulated without an adult. Please exercise caution while using this item.
Pregnancy: We recommend women who are pregnant use the Biomat on low to medium heat (95F-131F).
Surgical implants: The Biomat is a portable infrared heat system designed to be used on people with titanium, metal, ceramic, or plastic implants. Surgical implants usually emit infrared radiation and are not warmed by an infrared heat source. Anyone who experiences discomfort in those regions should contact their doctor.
Silicon: Infrared light may be used to warm silicone implants. Silicon melts at a temperature of more than 200 degrees Celsius / 392 Fahrenheit, so infrared radiation should not have an impact on it. Before using the Biomat with heat, you should consult your doctor.
Pain: Be careful not to feel any discomfort or increase in pain after using the Biomat. Infrared heat, on the other hand, will go to regions of illness or discomfort, so some people may experience this as agony while others perceive it as a sensation. If pain continues after use has ended, you should stop using it.
Worsened condition: If your health condition worsens while using the Biomat, please stop usage immediately. Some fleeting symptoms may be expected as a result of the detoxification and recovery process.
These recommendations should not be used to substitute your doctor’s advice. These are only guidelines for contraindications, and they do not cover all illnesses and contraindications.
Ensure you speak with your medical professional before using the Biomat. The manufacturer, Richway & Fuji Bio Inc., has provided this information.
General cautions for far infrared therapies
Prescription drugs: If you’re using prescription drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if the drug’s effectiveness might be altered by an interaction with infrared radiation. Some redness of the skin is common while taking corticosteroids. We recommend that you stop using your Biomat until your prescription has completed if you have any redness. If your redness persists, see your doctor. Infrared therapies are known to help medications become more effective, and they may need to be reduced as a result.
Joint injuries: If a person has just suffered an (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the hot and swollen symptoms have subsided. Vigorous heating of any sort to joints that are chronically hot and inflamed can cause problems.
Infections: In cases of enclosed infections, such as dental, joint, or other tissue infections, intense heat is not recommended. Speak to your doctor about when it’s safe to resume Biomat use.
Hemorrhage: Those with hemophilia and those who are predisposed to bleeding should avoid using infrared or any type of heat that might cause vasodilation, which can lead to the propensity to bleed.
