• Do not use on scarred areas following surgery for at least 10 months after the
operation.
• Do not use with serious arterial circulatory problems in the lower limbs.
2.3 Warning
• If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your
physician before using this device.
• If your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for more than
five days, stop using the device and consult with your physician.
• Do not apply stimulation over your neck because this could cause severe muscle
spasms resulting in closure of your airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects
on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
• Do not apply stimulation across your chest because the introduction of electrical
current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be
lethal.
• Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
• Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g.,
cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), which may not operate properly when electrical
stimulation device is in use.
• Do not apply stimulation when in the bath or shower.
• Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
• Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in
which electrical stimulation can put your at risk of injury; and
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
• The long-term effects electrical stimulation are unknown. Electrical stimulation
device do not have any curative value.
• Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of
electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
• Stimulation should not take place while the user is connected to high-frequency
surgical equipment, which may cause burn injuries on the skin under the electrodes,
as well as problems with the stimulator.
• Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave therapy
equipment, since this may affect the output power of the stimulator.
• Never use near the heart. Stimulation electrodes should never be placed anywhere
on the front of the thorax (marked by ribs and breastbone), but above all not on the
two large pectoral muscles. Here it can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and
lead to cardiac arrest.
• Never use on the eye area.
• Never use near the genitals.
• Never use on the areas of the skin which lack normal sensation
• Keep electrodes separate during treatment, electrode in contact with other could
