whether TENS may affect foetal
development.

later stages of pregnancy. Stop
using immediately if you experience
unexpected contractions.
WARNINGS:

operating machinery, or similar
actions needing
control. Loose electrode

contact may cause brief involuntary
muscle movements.
Do NOT use to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain. This may
delay diagnosis of a progressive
condition.
Do NOT use if you have, in the
area being treated: active or
suspected cancer or undiagnosed pain
with a history of cancer. Stimulation
directly through a
suspected malignancy
avoided as it may stimulate growth and
promote spread of cancer cells.

have a bleeding disorder as
stimulation may increase blood flow to
the stimulated region.
Caution should be used if you
have suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy as electrical stimulation may
affect seizure threshold.
