At MedcoVet, we're dedicated to enhancing your experience with the Luma device, ensuring both you and your pet benefit from its therapeutic capabilities. Some users have reached out with concerns that their Luma might be experiencing charging issues, particularly noting that the device seems to get hot or shut off unexpectedly. We're here to clarify these observations and provide guidance on how to optimize your use of the Luma for your pet's treatments.
Recommended 30-Minute Sessions for Optimal Use
The Luma is optimized for 30-minute sessions. This duration is carefully chosen to balance effectiveness with safety, ensuring that your pet receives the best possible care without overexposure. Operating the Luma beyond this recommended duration can lead to increased unit temperature, which is why the device features a safety mechanism. If the red light turns off while the green lights remain on, it's the Lumas built-in method to prevent overheating, safeguarding both the device and its user.
Understanding Device Temperature and Auto-Shutoff
You might notice that the Luma begins to feel warm to the touch around the 20-minute mark. This warming is expected due to the nature of the device's operation. To safeguard against overheating and ensure the device's longevity, the Luma is equipped with an automatic shutoff feature that activates after approximately 40 minutes of continuous use. These times are estimates and can vary based on several factors, including ambient temperature and the thickness of your pet's fur.
What to Do If Your Device Gets Hot
Session Timing: Aim for 30-minute sessions to balance effectiveness and device temperature. If the device feels overly warm before this time, allow it to cool down before continuing.
Environment: Ambient temperature can affect the device's heat. Operating the Luma in a cooler environment may help manage its temperature during use.
Fur Thickness: Pets with thicker fur may cause the device to heat up more quickly. Adjusting session lengths based on your pet's fur thickness can help manage this.
Cooldown Periods: If using the Luma for multiple sessions, ensure adequate cooldown time between sessions. This not only helps manage the device's temperature but also contributes to its longevity.
