HYPERTHERMIA
occurs when the
internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above
the normal body temperature of 98.6°
F. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness,
lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
a) Failure to perceive heat;
b) Failure to recognize the need to
exit the steambath;
c) Unawareness of impending risk;
d) Fetal damage in pregnant women;
e) Physical inability to exit the steam-
bath; and
f) Unconsciousness.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or
medication can greatly increase the
risk of hyperthermia.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. Do not permit children under
the age of 16 to use this steambath.
3. Steam is hot and can cause injury or death if
improperly used. Steam rooms contain steam and elevated tem-
peratures. Please read and observe all warnings in this manual
before installing or using a steam room.
4. To reduce the risk of injury:
A. The wet surfaces of steam enclosures may be slippery. Use
care when entering or leaving.
B. The steam head is hot. Do not touch the steamhead and avoid
the steam near the steamhead.
C. Prolonged use of the steam system can raise excessively the
internal human body temperature and impair the body’s abil-
ity to regulate its internal temperature (hyperthermia). Limit
your use of steam to 10-15 minutes until you are certain of
your body’s reaction.
D. Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnancy or
possibly pregnant women should consult a physician regarding
correct exposure.
E. Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure, circulatory system problems,
or diabetes should consult a physician before using a steambath.
F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using
a steambath since some medication may induce drowsiness while
other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and
circulation.
