3.2 Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia (overheating). The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in spas. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as follows:

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F

(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy

(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body (feeling of being too hot). The effects of hyperthermia include:

• Unawareness of impending hazard;

• Failure to perceive heat;

• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;

• Physical inability to exit spa;

• Fetal damage in pregnant women; and

• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.

A Warning Sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install at a location near your spa, where it is visible to users of the spa. For additional or replacement Warning Signs please contact your local

Sundance spas dealer and reference item number #6530-082.
