WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
REGARDING THE PADS
n
Apply pads to normal, healthy, clean, dry skin
(of adult patients) because it may otherwise
disrupt the healing process.
n
If you experience any skin irritation or redness
after a session, do not continue stimulation on
that area of the skin.
NEVER APPLY THE PADS TO:
n
The head or any area of the face.
n
Any area of the throat because this can cause
severe muscle spasms resulting in closure
of the airway, difficulty breathing, or adverse
effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
n
Both sides of the thorax simultaneously (lateral
or front and back), or across your chest
because the introduction of electrical current
may cause rhythm disturbances, which could
be lethal.
