If the adhesive side of the pad appears to be dry (the pad does not stick to the skin), rehydrate using
a finger tip dipped in a little water. Allow the pad to absorb the moisture and the adhesive side of the
pad to regain its adhesive properties, then put the pad back on its holder.
8. Dos and Don’ts
Using this appliance is not suitable in the following cases:
- electronic or metallic implants (heart pace-maker, etc.)
- heart problems
- pregnancy
If in any doubt, ask your doctor’s advice before use, specifically in the case of:
- disease or injury
- open or recent wounds, irritated or damaged skin, varicose veins or any vascular problems
- recent surgery
- the presence of any metallic implant
- use on any part of the body where feeling is limited
- mental problems
- use on a child
Post-natal exercises:
- The machine is suitable for post-natal recovery. However, it is recommended that you wait for 6 weeks after
the birth and consult a doctor before beginning exercises.
- If you have had a Caesarean, only place the pads above the scar - never on or underneath it when working
on the abdominal area.
When applying the pads, always follow the instructions detailed below:
- only position the pads in places mentioned in the manual.
- do not place the pads on the neck, near the heart, on the genitals, on the mouth, eyes or head.
- do not place the pads on recent scars or areas that are infected, irritated, lacking feeling or physically limited.
- do not place the pads on metallic implants or on bones (the hips, for example) to avoid any unpleasant
sensation.
- before removing the pads, switch off the appliance as your fingers are very sensitive to stimulation.
- a slight irritation on the skin at the spot where the pads are placed is normal and will disappear quickly.
Consult your doctor if this is not the case.
