POSIFORLID
Eye mask
Description
Medical device used for the home treatment of eye disorders due to blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid margin), meibomian gland dysfunction (blockage or functional alteration of the meibomian glands), styes and chalazion.
The self-heating eye mask provides fast and long-lasting relief from discomfort caused by tear film instability, such as dryness, tiredness, burning or excessive tearing of the eye.
After being activated by the snap of the metal discs, the eye mask heats up to a suitable and constant temperature. The heat produced by the gel contained in the mask warms the cotton pads, generating a warm and delicate steam that is evenly distributed around the eyes.
Moist heat:
- unblocks the Meibomian gland ducts by gently softening hardened secretions and promoting their expulsion through massaging movements on the eyelids. Clean and patent Meibomian gland ducts distribute lipids normally, making the tear film more stable.
- softens the crusts on the eyelid margin, making them easier to remove and reducing the risk of eyelash loss. Heat improves blood flow to the eyes, speeding up the healing process of styes and chalazions.
How to use
Remove the bag and throw it in the trash. If the bag has been accidentally broken, first thoroughly clean the mask as per the instructions.
Wash your hands with soap and water before and after each use. Remove any contact lenses and eye makeup. Do not use makeup, creams or lotions while wearing the mask. Apply any medicated creams or eye drops only after removing the mask.
The eye mask is ready to use when the orange content is liquid. If the content still has a solid consistency, similar to ice, follow the instructions to boil it and make it ready to use.
Using the eye mask with cotton pads ensures a moist and comfortable temperature. Use new, clean cotton pads for each treatment (not included).
Before each use, check the mask for any damage or signs of leakage. Do not use the mask if it is damaged.
Make sure there is sufficient lighting and wear glasses if necessary.
The orange gel in the bag should be liquid (soft and pliable). If the mask is hard as ice, follow the instructions for boiling.
Moisten two cotton pads with tap water. Insert them so that the cotton pads are directly in front of the oval windows. Close the snap button of the eye mask.
Do not use the eye mask without cotton pads as the high temperature may burn the skin.
To activate the mask, press the two metal discs inserted into the openings of the mask to make them snap. Hold the single disc with both hands and "bend" it until it clicks. The liquid orange content solidifies and heats up. Massage the orange liquid to even out the temperature across the entire mask, making it softer and more flexible. The temperature of the heating mask reaches approximately 45 °C. After approximately 5 minutes, the heat gradually reduces. Test the temperature on the inside of your forearm to see if the heat on your skin is comfortable.
Place the eye mask with the cotton pad side on your eyes and place the strap around your head. Adjust the strap to make it comfortable. Do not expose your eyes to excessive pressure. Allow the pleasant heat released by the mask to act on your eyes for 5-7 minutes.
Cleaning the eyelids is an important step. Remove the cotton pads from the eye mask, then use them to massage and clean the lash margins as follows: Massage the upper eyelid 5 to 10 times, moving from top to bottom across the entire eyelid. Then massage the lower eyelid 5 to 10 times, moving from bottom to top across the entire eyelid. Finally, clean the eyelid margins again with new moistened cotton pads. Discard the cotton pads after use.
- In the presence of a chalazion: use the mask 4-5 times a day. Thanks to the heat, the secretion of the Meibomian glands becomes more fluid. Gentle massage around the area with a clean finger promotes the expulsion of sebum from the glands. Do not squeeze or burst a chalazion but perform a massage in the direction of the eye to promote the slow expulsion of the fluidized sebum in small quantities from the obstructed sebaceous glands. The growth then tends to gradually regress.
- If you have a stye: Use the mask 4-5 times a day to speed up its maturation. It is not necessary to massage the stye. Do not try to squeeze or pop the stye, this could spread the infection to the eyelid.
As soon as the boil breaks, the discomfort disappears. However, it can also happen that the swelling remains, without causing pain. Subsequently, it tends to stabilize and encapsulate, and then evolve into a chalazion.
Boiling after use: remove the wrapper, the elastic headband and throw away the cotton pads. Remove the gel bag from the mask and place it in a clean pot (about 2 liters). When the water boils, lower the heat for 10 minutes until all the crystals have dissolved and the contents of the orange gel bag return to a liquid state.
Use a slotted spoon or large spoon to dip the mask into the water and then remove it. Do not use a fork or knife as they may damage it. Remember to set a timer.
After boiling: place the mask on clean kitchen paper and let it cool for 30 minutes.
Cleaning the Wrap: Avoid boiling the wrap with the gel pack or putting it in the dishwasher as the material tends to harden. Remove the elastic headband if it does not need to be washed. Use a clean cloth dampened with soapy water to clean the wrap for 30 seconds.
To prevent allergic reactions, wash the case thoroughly with warm tap water to remove any detergent residue. Allow to air dry, but not so long that it becomes soiled with dust or food.
After a few hours, dry all parts with clean kitchen paper and check that it is clean.
Components
POSIFORLID eye mask is a gel mask, containing two metal discs made of phthalate-free PVC and a solution based on sodium acetate, colorant (both food grade) and water.
Contains no latex or silicone.
Warnings
Do not use the eye mask immediately after boiling, as it is still too hot and may cause burns. Wait at least half an hour until the eye mask has cooled to room temperature.
Do not heat the eye mask in a microwave oven or directly on a heating pad. Direct contact with hot surfaces will damage the mask.
If you have to move from the cooking area during boiling, always turn off the heat source to avoid the water evaporating completely.
Do not allow children to be present without adult supervision while boiling.
Do not remove the mask from the water with bare hands. The mask is too hot and may cause burns.
If the heat of the mask is not comfortable for your skin, stop using it and wait a few minutes until the mask cools down to a comfortable sensation on your skin. Check the skin under the mask regularly, it should not become red.
Use the mask with caution on children and the elderly to avoid causing burns to the skin.
Always supervise children while using the mask and regularly check under the mask for skin reactions to heat.
You can cool the mask in the refrigerator, but avoid putting it in the freezer. This could damage the mask.
Do not use the POSIFORLID eye mask if you notice that it is no longer airtight or damaged. If the gel contained in the mask accidentally comes into contact with the skin, rinse thoroughly with soap and water. After contact with the eyes or mouth, rinse for several minutes with running water. If irritation persists or if the gel comes into contact with the mouth of a child, consult a doctor.
Although the mask ingredients are food grade, the mask is not edible. It is intended for external use only on undamaged skin.
Do not cut or open the mask. Do not sit or lean on the mask as it may cause breakage or leakage.
Do not use the mask in case of known hypersensitivity to any of the mask ingredients.
For hygiene reasons, do not reuse cotton pads and do not share the mask with other people.
Do not boil the mask with food or allow it to come into contact with butter or oil as this may cause the PVC to harden and become less smooth or soft.
If you do not have time to boil and clean the mask immediately after use, you can wait. In this case, wipe the casing with a cloth to prevent residue or soil from drying inside.
Boil the mask within 24 hours. If stored in a solid state for too long, the mask may become excessively hot and the size of the air bubbles may slightly increase.
If you have glaucoma, do not apply too much pressure to your eyes. Avoid over-tightening the elastic band or placing the mask over your eyes without using the elastic fastening.
If you have had glaucoma or cataract surgery less than a month ago, gently massage the upper part of your eyelids. Consult your eye doctor before using the POSIFORLID eye mask.
For external use only on intact skin. Do not use on irritated, itchy, swollen or red skin, on open wounds or after eyelid surgery.
Moist heat can worsen certain types of eczema or rosacea. If conditions worsen, consult your doctor.
If you suffer from any skin conditions, always consult a doctor before using the mask.
The mask is for single user use, do not share between multiple users.
If your symptoms worsen after a few days, consult your doctor.
In case of unexpected side effects, consult your doctor and/or your pharmacist and report it to the manufacturer or the competent local authority.
Keep POSIFORLID eye mask out of the sight and reach of children.
If the heat released is insufficient, the mask should be replaced with a new mask. Although the mask normally tolerates 90 boiling cycles, it is the user's responsibility to check that the mask is still in good condition. Do not use the mask if in doubt. Boil the mask, let it cool to room temperature and contact customer service for assistance.
Conservation
Store the clean and liquid (soft) mask at room temperature in clean kitchen paper in the original box or in a cupboard.
