USAGE

WARNING

Before use, make sure that there is no insect sting remaining in the area that was stung. Remove the sting carefully before use. To achieve the best results, use the device immediately after the insect bite or sting. If you wait too long to treat the area that has been stung or bitten and itching and swelling have already started, the insect bite healer can only have a limited effect. Nevertheless, treat the area with the insect bite healer. Usually, itching can be relieved and healing can be sped up.

CAUTION

• Depending on the sensitivity of the person using the device and of the area of skin, the treatment temperature may feel unpleasant and cause slight skin redness and, in rare cases, irritated skin. If the heat function feels too hot, stop treatment immediately!
• To switch on the device, slide the ON/OFF control 2 to the “I” position in the direction of the heating plate 4.
• Device status LED 3 starts to light up blue. The device is now ready for use.
• Place the heating plate 4 of the device on the area that has been stung or bitten.
• The 3-second treatment is recommended for first use or use on sensitive skin.
• To use the 3-second treatment, briefly press the activation button 1 once.
• The device status LED 3 lights up blue, and the treatment starts.
• If you press and hold the activation button 1 for more than 2 seconds, the emergency switch-off will be activated. To use the device again after the automatic switch-off, switch the device back to “OFF” using the ON/OFF control 2. This is indicated by the “O” symbol. The blue device status LED 3 turns off.
• An acoustic signal sounds at the end of the treatment.
• The device status LED 3 lights up green again and the heating plate 4 stops providing heat.
• To prolong the battery life, switch off the device each time after using it. To switch off the device, slide the ON/OFF control 2 to the “O” position.

Battery Warning

Before the battery level becomes too low for other applications, the device status LED 3 starts to flash 3 times and an acoustic signal sounds 3 times. Replace both batteries soon, as described in Section 6.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Observe the following hygiene instructions to avoid health risks:

• The device is intended for multiple uses.
• It is recommended that the device is cleaned before first use and each additional use.
• The device must be switched off, allowed to cool down, and the batteries removed each time before cleaning.
• Use only soft, dry cloths for cleaning the housing.
• Never use any substances for cleaning that could potentially be toxic if they came into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or if they were swallowed or inhaled. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never submerge the device in water.
• Do not clean the device and karabiner in the dishwasher!
• Avoid mechanical cleaning with brushes or similar, as this could result in irreparable damage.
• When using the device on multiple areas that have been stung and bitten, it is recommended that you clean the heating plate each time. This reduces the possibility of germs and bacteria being transferred from one area of skin to the next. To disinfect the heating plate, use a cotton bud moistened with disinfectant.

Troubleshooting the Beurer Insect Bite Healer BR 10: Common Issues and Fixes

Encountering problems with your Beurer Insect Bite Healer BR 10? Most issues stem from battery life, improper use, or storage. If the device doesn't heat up, ensure it's charged—rechargeable for up to 300 applications—and press the button firmly to activate the 3-second heat cycle. For no response, check for automatic shut-off after 2 minutes; restart by switching on again. Overheating concerns are minimal as the ceramic plate is skin-safe at 50°C, but avoid use on open wounds or broken skin.

No specific error codes are reported, but if the hot plate fails to reach temperature, clean it gently with a dry cloth and test on a non-sensitive area first. Preventive measures include storing in a cool, dry place, avoiding drops, and recharging after 300 uses. The device carries Beurer's standard warranty—typically 3 years for medical products; register at beurer.com for support.
