## Indications for use
The Micro Health Systems, MHS MED LIGHT 1000 is a device which helps to temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied, and temporarily relieves minor muscle and joint aches and pains through the use of heat applied in a non-contact manner. Aiming means adjustable by users from the heat ceramic filament in which there is no hazard for contacting high temperature lamps. An adjustable timer control for safety functions is also incorporated into the MHS MED LIGHT 1000. The Micro Health System MHS MED LIGHT 1000 cooling method is related to temperature of the enclosure, and the enclosure, and the enclosure temperatures of the three devices listed in the comparison table are assured. According to the different wattages and the maximum temperatures, we also know the ceramic type lamp of the AP-20 18 is more efficient that the other two lamps. The maximum temperatures for these three devices listed in the comparison table are above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and can reach the intended results. The timer controls and the continuous intensity controls exist on the MHS MED LIGHT 1000. The user can control the timer function and intensity control to control the receiving heat amount, thus assuming the safety level.
