Medical Device License for Chi Machine #66598 issued on 11/26/04

Purpose / Intended use: The Chi Machine is a Therapeutic Massager.

Benefits of using the Chi Machine are: temporarily relieves muscular aches, pains and tension caused by fatigue or overexertion and temporarily increases local blood circulation. It helps reduce leg fluids, whole body extracellular fluid, weight associated with extracellular fluid and subjective leg symptoms. The Chi Machine relaxes muscles locally and provides a full body massage.

The Chi Machine operates with the user lying on their back and placing their ankles in the grooves of the footrest on top of the machine. The timer switch is activated for the user's preferred amount of time (2-5minutes for the first time users; 15 minutes is suggested for second time and continual use). The footrest moves back and forth, carrying the user's feet from side to side. This movement carries up through the legs, torso and up throughout the entire body causing the user to wiggle back and forth, like a fish.

Le Chi Machine® est un vibro-masseur. Il soulage temporairement les douleurs musculaires ainsi que les douleurs et tensions causées par la fatigue et le surmenage en plus d’augmenter temporairement la circulation sanguine locale. Il aide à réduire la rétention d’eau dans les jambes, la rétention d’eau extracellulaire dans tout le corps et le poids associé à l’eau extracellulaire en plus de réduire les symptômes subjectifs associés aux jambes. Le Chi Machine® permet de relâcher les muscles localement et offre un massage pour tout le corps.

L’utilisateur du Chi Machine® se couche sur le dos et installe ses chevilles dans les sillons sur les repose-pieds. L’utilisateur met en marche la minuterie programmée en fonction de sa préférence (2 à 5 minutes pour une première utilisation; 15 minutes pour les utilisations subséquentes). Les repose-pieds font un mouvement de va-et-vient entraînant les pieds de l’utilisateur d’un côté à l’autre. Ce va-et-vient se perpétue dans les jambes, le torse et le reste du corps dans un mouvement oscillatoire tel un poisson.
