- TENS is a symptomatic treatment, and as such, suppresses the sensation of pain which would
otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
- Before using the therapy unit, the operator must ascertain that it is in correct working order and
operating condition. The cables and connectors, in particular, must be checked for signs of damage.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately, before use.
- Stop therapy immediately if you have doubts about the device settings and/or the therapy protocol.
- Patients must be fully conscious while being instructed in the use of the therapy unit and during
therapy.
- Do not treat through clothing.
- Stop treatment immediately if patient experienes discomfort or pain.
- The choice of the therapy parameters to program, of the therapy protocols and electrode
placement is restricted to the responsible physician or therapist. It is the physician's or therapist's
decision whether or not to use the unit on a specific patient.
- The patient must be familiar with the functions of the Revolution Wireless remote control with the
modules and the remote control must be within easy reach of the patient, allowing them to stop
therapy, if needed. Patients unable to operate the emergency stop function (either by stopping
on the remote control or by turning off the modules), e.g. paralytic patients, must never be left
unattended during therapy.
- Use of accessories other than those specified in this User manual may increase electrical emissions,
decrease electrical immunity or lead to unsafe conditions.
- The utmost caution is advised under the following conditions. Depending on the judgement of the
responsible physician, the unit may only be applied under supervision and with the parameters
defined by the responsible physician. Otherwise the exercise may be too strenuous for the patients
with:
1. hypertension (> stage 2), ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases
2. cardiovascular diseases
3. Pregnancy. Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy has not been
established.
4. under 16 years of age
Never apply the electrodes as follows:
• Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally, or on the eyes.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and
pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or
cause difficultin breathing.
• Counter-laterally, i.e. do not use two poles connected to the same channel on opposite sides of the
body.
