immediately switch off the device, lie down and support
the legs in an elevated position (approx. 5–10 min).
• Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or
ointments beforehand is not recommended as this
considerably increases the electrode wear and may
cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by people with
restricted physical, sensory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to
pain) or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or lack
of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person
who is responsible for their safety or are instructed by
such a person in how to use the device.
• If the adhesive capability of the adhesive electrodes
decreases, replace them immediately. Only use the
device again with new adhesive electrodes. Otherwise
the unequal adhesion of the adhesive electrodes may
lead to skin injuries. Replace the electrodes with new
ones after having used them 20 times at most.
