Safety Recommendations

The packaging material (plastic bags,

boxes etc.) must be kept out of the
reach of children as it is a potential
source of danger.

People who require assistance must

be supervised constantly during
inhalation. Such persons often
underestimate the hazards involved
(e.g. strangulation with the power
adapter cord), thus resulting in a risk
of injury.

The device contains small parts

which can block the respiratory tract
and lead to choking. Therefore,
make sure that you always keep
the MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer and
the accessories out of the reach of
babies and infants.

When charging the battery, use the

power adapter supplied with the
Vaporizer only. The use of products
from other sources can damage the
batter y.

If you have any concerns, ask a spe-

cialist to check whether the electrical
system is in accordance with the
local safety regulations.

If there are any problems during

operation, immediately pull out the
power adapter from the socket.

The power adapter cord must be

unwound over its entire length
(avoid rolling up and overlapping the
cord). It must not be exposed to any

impacts and must be kept out of the
reach of children. Also, it must not be
kept near liquids or sources of heat
and must not be damaged. Do not
wind the power adapter cord tightly,
nor pull it over sharp edges and never
crush or kink it. If the power adapter
cord is damaged, please contact our
Service Center to have it replaced.
Never try to repair a power adapter
cord yourself!

The use of multiple sockets and /or

extension cables is not recommend­ed. However, if this is absolutely
necessary, only products with a qual­ity certificate (such as UL, IMQ, VED,
+S etc.) may be used, provided the
specified power exceeds the power
required (A= Ampere) by the devices
that are connected.

After use, the Vaporizer must be

placed on a stable, flat surface. To
be used only at a sufficient distance
away from heat sources (ovens,
stoves, fireplaces), and in locations
where the ambient temperature can­not drop below +5°C (+41°F). Store
the Vaporizer and power adapter in
a dry place protected against the ef­fects of weather and out of the reach
of children or unqualified persons.
It cannot be used in damp locations
(such as bathrooms etc.).

3. INTENDED USE

The MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer is in-

tended for vaporizing and then inhal­ing cannabinoids from hemp flowers

(cannabis flos).
The goal is the application of the ac-

tive ingredients in the human body via
the alveoli for the appropriate medical
indication.

It is suitable for the temporary inha­lative application of cannabinoids
prescribed by a physician for use at
home, in a hospital, or doctor’s office.

4. IMPORTANT REMARKS 4. IMPORTANT REMARKS

The MIGHTY MEDIC Vapor-
izer ensures the highly effec-

tive, safe, and fast-acting ap­plication of cannabinoids. The patient
must undergo a medical examination
before the beginning of treatment.

The MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer is not
intended for use in children and youth
under age 18. Adults may use the de­vice following the Instructions for Use
or physician’s instructions.

Due to hygienic reasons, the

MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer

may be operated only with at­tached (disposable) Lip Piece on the
Mouthpiece (see Chapter 8.1. „Dis­posable Lip Piece for Hygienic Use“
from page 29 onwards).

The device is not to be used, if

the user has respiratory tract

or lung conditions. Depending
on the density, the vapor could irritate
respiratory tracts or lungs, which can
lead to coughing.

The application and inhalation is de­scribed in Chapter 8.2. “Cooling Unit
with Mouthpiece” on page 30.

Before every use by another person,
the Cooling Unit and the Vaporizer
must be cleaned thoroughly (see in­formation on the Cooling Unit and
Vaporizer from page 28 onwards).

Please note that damaged or

brittle Lip Pieces are not to be

used.

At a certain dosage, cannabis
can have a psychotropic
(mind-altering) effect.

Thus, there is a potential for abuse,
which governments in nearly all coun­tries of the world counteract with cor­responding laws.

Use only medicinal hemp flowers
(cannabis flos) prescribed by your
physician and purchased from a phar­macy. Otherwise you may be at risk of
breaking the law.

In case of doubt, ask your physician,
pharmacist, or the responsible au­thorities about the current laws at your
place of residence.

Cannabinoids vaporize at tempera­tures over 180°C (356°F) and then
form an aerosol with an average drop­let size (MMAD) of 0.64 µm (microm­eter) that can be inhaled and respired.

The droplets are absorbed in the al­veoli and enter the bloodstream (sys­temic absorption).

When cannabinoids are inhaled, the
onset of the effect takes approx. 1-2
min. and the effects last for 2-4 hours.

Our Service Centre is available to an­swer your questions and receive your
comments and suggestion concern­ing the MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer.

You may download the cur­rent Instructions for Use for
the M IGHTY MEDIC Vaporiz-

er on www.vapormed.com. Here you
will find the up-to-date information to
the current state of research.

If questions occur about the medical
use of cannabinoids or cannnabis
please contact your doctor, pharma­cist or manufacturer of medical hemp
flowers (Cannabis flos).

manufacturer cannot be held respon-

sible.
