1. PURPOSE
EHF-IR therapy “Triomed” device is a reflexological, physiotheraputical and medical instrument for the treatment and prevention of various pathological conditions by exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation of EHF and infrared ranges on human skin.
The inclusion of EHF therapy in complex treatment of many diseases allows to reduce drug dosage, potentiate drug action, to avoid using drugs in some cases, improve toleration of many drugs, reduce severity of side effects, achieve positive clinical results for drug-resistant patients.
The device can be used by general medical, medical and preventive institutions as well as by an individual under the supervision of a physician in a hospital, outpatient and at home.
As a result of experiments, clinical trials and medical practice, the following effects of EHF-infrared therapy were noticed and studied in depth:
• improved sensitivity of receptors of the membrane and the cell nucleus;
• normalized activity of central nervous system;
• stimulated intracellular synthesis of cyclic nucleotides cAMP, cGMP;
• modulated activity of various parts of the immune system;
• activated functioning of the diffuse neuroendocrine system;
• activated lipid peroxidation - antioxidant protection;
• improved permeability of blood capillaries;
• improved rheological blood properties and restoration of blood homeostasis;
• optimized hormonal status;
• radioprotective effect.
These effects are clinically proved to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-edematous results; improved processes of tissue regeneration, enhanced non-specific resistance of the organism, improved systemic and regional hemodynamic; antistress effect, normalized autonomic nervous system as well as several other clinical and physiological results.

7. DEVICE OPEARTION
7.1. Clinical application of the device is governed by these Regulations.
7.2. The points of exposure when using "Triomed" device in accordance with rules and principles of physical therapy, reflexology, and regenerative medicine could be: the projection area of biologically active points, the biologically active zones, the pathological focus or an area of its projection, direct projection of organs, spine area, joints and major vessels, the projection of organs in the Zakharyin-Ged areas (Fig. 3). Point and zonal approaches may be executed during one procedure. When using the device, one may use methodological recommendations, new and advanced medical technologies, doctors manuals, approved by Roszdravnadzor (Appendix 1).
Figure 3. Projection zones of Zakharyin-Ged
(1 – lungs, 2 – liver; 3 – stomach and pancreas; 4 – liver; 5 – kidney; 6 – small intestine; 7 – colon; 8 – urethra; 9 – heart)
7.3. Depending on location of the pathological focus, degree of clinical syndromes, disease stage and the initial state of the organism, treatment must be selected individually: location and duration of exposure, type of transmitter, and number of medical procedures.
7.4. Time of exposure on one area or biologically active point is from 3 to 15 minutes. The total time of exposure should not exceed 30 minutes per day.
7.5. During the initial period of treatment (1-2 days), it is advisable to use the device to gradual activate regulatory systems (1 treatment every 1-2 days). After adaptation, the intensity of treatment increases to 2-3 procedures par day. If necessary, treatment can be repeated after 2-3 months.
7.6. Recommendations for the use of transmitters, depending on the disease:
• transmitter with red label (from 7,5 to 6,98 mm) - vitiligo, herpes, psoriasis, cholecystitis, periodontitis and other mouth diseases, blood formation, vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• transmitter with green label (from 5,77 to 5,26 mm) - neuro-dermabrasion, eczema, post-traumatic contractures, asthma, sarcoidosis, appendagitis, vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• transmitter with blue label (from 5,26 to 4,76 mm) - obstructive bronchitis, peptic ulcer of stomach and duodenum, immunostimulation;
• transmitter with yellow label (from 6,0 to 4,0 mm) - for children from 3 to 6 years old, debilitated patients as preparation for main medical treatment, to optimize the total (nonspecific) resistance .
• transmitter with white label (infrared radiation) - chronic and subacute inflammatory disease process, stimulation of reparative regeneration processes on final stages of inflammatory process, analgetic effect, improving micro-circulation and permeability of capillary walls.
7.7. Recommended number of treatments is from 7 to 15, the frequency of 1-3 times per day depending on a patient's condition.
7.8. To ensure continuity of outpatient treatment, it is recommended to use the device at home under medical supervision. To increase the effectiveness of treatment at home, it is recommended to use the projection of organs in the areas Zakharyin-Geda along with the projection area of biologically active points for greater therapeutic effect.
7.9.
Attention: If you experience unpleasant sensations, which do not disappear after 3 procedures, your condition worsens, please consult your doctor.
