We instruct to remove all creams or lotions before using the light. If you have residue of
sunscreens cream, lotions, etc., the light may interact with them.
What are the side effects?
The Tendlite is cleared by the FDA for safety, so rest assured that our LED light should not
harm you (it is not a Laser). Red LED light is a safe and effective treatment for pain relief.
Obviously, red light has no drug side effect risk. Another safety benefit of LED incoherent red
light is it can not be used to cut or burn like a coherent laser light.
Is it required to wear the glasses every time I use the device?
We recommend using the glasses as added protection. Staring directly into any light source
may hurt the eye. Please note that this device is even safer than the sunlight, because it does
not have UVA, UVB or UVC waves.
Can it be used through a thin layer of clothing?
It’s best on bare skin, but may work through a thin, light colored clothing if the light appears
to shine through easily.
Why is there a contraindication for use with a pacemaker?
This warning is a standard FDA warning for many electronic medical devices. The concern is
that some electronic devices can interfere with the electronic pulsing settings of the pace-
maker. Before using the Tendlite, ask your doctor or the manufacturer of your particular
pacemaker, what distance, if any, is appropriate to use a battery powered red LED light with
your particular model pacemaker.
