Electrode Use and Care

WARNING: This product should be used only under the direct supervision of a
registered healthcare practitioner. Product should be used according to the in-
structions in this manual. Improper use of this or any electrode may result in a
patient burn. Due to the potential for causing skin burns, devices must be limited
to 0.25W per cm2. Electrodes should not be placed on the body so that the Avid
IF's electrical current flows across the chest. This may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
NOTE: The electrodes supplied with this Avid IF2 have been designed
specifically for use with this product. They must not be manipulated, cut,
or altered in any way. This may affect the even distribution of stimulation
and/or its intensity beyond the recommended 0.25W per cm

occurs, consult with your physician or therapist.

from each other.
