Warnings
• If you are under the care of a Physician, consult with your Physician
DE
before using this System.
• The long-term effects of this System are not known.
• Do not place the pads on or close to your heart.
EN
• Do not place the pads around or close to your neck. Do not apply
stimulation over the neck. Severe spasm of the muscles may occur
FR
and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or
cause difficulty in breathing. Stimulation over the neck could also
have adverse effect on hearing or blood pressure.
IT
• Do not apply stimulation across the chest because the introduction of
electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to the
ES
heart.
• Do not place the pads on or around your head. The effects of
stimulation of the brain are unknown.
NL
• Do not use the pads over or close to sores.
• Do not place the pads on the front or sides of the neck across or
through the heart (one pad on the front of the chest and one on the
PL
back), in the genital region, or on the head, because of the risk of
stimulating inappropriate muscles and organs.
RU
• Do not place the pads over any recent scars, broken or inflamed
areas of infection or susceptibility to acne, thrombosis or other
vascular problems (e.g. varicose veins), or any part of the body
TR
where feeling is limited.
• Do not place the pads over areas of injury or restricted movement
AR
(e.g. fractures or sprains).
• Do not use this System while sleeping.
• Do not use if you feel numbness.
• Do not use this System in or close to water.
• Do not apply stimulation across the chest because the introduction of
electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to the
heart, which could be lethal.
• Do not use the pads over or close to cancerous lesions.
• Use the pads only on normal, healthy, clean and dry skin. Do not use
the pads on open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected or
inflamed skin.
• If you have ever had back surgery, consult your Physician before
using this System.
• Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG and ECG alarms)
may not operate properly when electrical stimulation is in use.
• You must position the pads and operate the unit ONLY as indicated
in this manual.
• Avoid areas in injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains)
• Avoid placing the pads over metal implants.
• Do not use in the bath or shower, or in an environment of elevated
humidity (e.g. Sauna, hydrotherapy, etc).
• Operation in close proximity, such as 3 feet (1 meter), to shortwave or
microwave therapy equipment may produce instability in the device
output and may shut the device off.
• Do not use the device in an environment where flammable or
explosive fumes may exist.
• Patient should never operate potentially dangerous machinery such
as power saws, automobiles, etc. during electrical stimulation. It
might result in burs at the site of the stimulator electrodes and possible
damage to the stimulator if you connect to high frequency equipment.
