Can my children use the FIR Mat under adult supervision?

The mat is suitable for children in general, but there are some restrictions and extra care should be taken.

Newborns and infants should not use heat or magnetic therapy. Children may use the mat with caution only with a doctor’s approval and under supervision of adults and on low heat or negative ions mode only (unless recommended otherwise by your health professional)

The core body temperature of children rises much faster than that of adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating as well as adults are able to. 

Consult with the child's pediatrician before using the FIR mat and use common sense. 

Do not use your mat in heating modes on babies who cannot move away from the mat or on children who cannot speak enough well to express themselves. 

Do not leave children or toddlers on the mat without supervision.  They can walk, play or jump on the mat and damage inner sensors. 

Children can disconnect cables from the mat and put them into their mouths and get shocked.  Take extra care if your child has access to the room where the mat or any other electrical device is located.

Though it places a lot of responsibility on the supervising adult, there have in fact been many reports about FIR rays calming hyperactive children before sleep time and helping them re-energize and improve their behavior.
