NEUROTECH MediStim XP Manual De Instrucciones página 5

English
• Precautions should also be taken if muscle stimulation occurs during heavy menstruation or in the same month as the insertion of
an IUP (inter-uterine pessary, e.g. coil). The same applies to the period (6 weeks) after giving birth. We recommend that stimulation
is only applied around the abdominal or lower abdominal region following medical approval.
• Medical advice must be obtained before applying stimulation on recent fractures or to parts of the body where feeling is limited.
• In all cases, ensure that stimulation does not exceed the patient's tolerance level.
• When repositioning electrodes during treatment, always turn the intensity to minimum or pause the unit.
• Lead pins and electrodes must not be connected to other objects.
• When the cables are attached to the electrodes, ensure that the lead pins are fully inserted into the electrode sockets. Ensure
that no metal is visible.
• The device should be kept safely out of the reach of children.
• Simultaneous connection of a patient to high frequency surgical equipment may result in burns at the site of the stimulator
electrodes, and possible damage to the stimulator.
• Operation in close proximity to shortwave or microwave therapy equipment may produce instability in the stimulator output.
• Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when the stimulator is in use.
• It may not be appropriate to use MediStim XP on a person at the same time as other equipment. You should check suitability
before use.
• The MediStim XP unit should be used only for its intended purpose and in the manner described in this manual. You should also
use only those electrode positions indicated by your clinician.
• A small number of isolated skin reactions have been reported, including allergies and acne.
• Stimulation should not be applied until the cause of the pain is identified and a precise diagnosis rendered.
• To avoid infection electrodes may only be used by a single individual.
• TENS is not intended to treat psychosomatic illness.
• TENS primarily treats symptoms by suppressing pain, which in turn serves as a protective mechanism.
• This device can deliver current densities in excess of 2mA/cm
Information" for more details.
• The long-term effects of continuous electrical stimulation have not been investigated.
If any irritations, skin reactions, over-sensitivity or other side effects occur, please contact BMR Ltd In such cases stop use immediately.
Irritations can usually be reduced by changing the position of the electrodes. Note, however, that a slight reddening of the skin is
quite normal under the electrodes during and for a short time after treatment.
when used at a high intensity with small electrodes. See "Technical
