Note that placing the electrodes should be done
carefully and solidly, and that the use of small elec-
trodes in combination with high intensities may cause
skin irritations or burns.
2.6. Electromagnetic interference
Simultaneous connection of a patient to HF surgical
equipment and an electrical stimulator must not be
done as this may result in burns at the site of the
stimulator electrodes. Therefore, simultaneous con-
nection is not allowed. For more information see
chapter 4, Installation.
2.7. Product liability
A law on Product Liability has become effective in
many countries. This Product Liability law implies,
amongst other things, that once a period of 10 years
has elapsed after a product has been brought into
circulation, the manufacturer can no longer be held
responsible for possible shortages of the product.
2.7.1. Limitations of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in
no event will Enraf-Nonius or its suppliers or resellers
be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or conse-
quential damages arising from the use of or inability to
use the product, including, without limitation, damages
for loss of goodwill, work and productivity, computer
failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial
damages or losses, even if advised of the possibility
thereof, and regardless of the legal or equitable theory
(contract, tort or otherwise) upon which the claim is
based. In any case, Enraf-Nonius's entire liability under
any provision of this agreement shall not exceed in the
aggregate the sum of the fees paid for this product
and fees for support of the product received by Enraf-
Nonius under a separate support agreement (if any),
with the exception of death or personal injury caused
by the negligence of Enraf-Nonius to the extent appli-
cable law prohibits the limitation of damages in such
cases.
Enraf-Nonius can not be held liable for any conse-
quence resulting from incorrect information provided

and / or other accompanying documentation (includ-
ing commercial documentation)
The opposing party (product's user or it's representa-
tive) shall disclaim Enraf-Nonius from all claims aris-
ing from third parties, whatever nature or whatever
relationship to the opposing party.
