WARNING
Before embarking on any exercise programme, including Gymform® DUO IMPULSE,
consult your general practitioner and your physiotherapist.
Ensure that you read the instructions, warnings and precautions carefully before
using your Gymform® DUO IMPULSE.
Gymform® DUO IMPULSE is designed for healthy adults. However, the device
should be used with care. Read the following guidelines and the instruction manual
before using the product.
- Applying electrodes in the thorax area may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
- Using Gymform® DUO IMPULSE while connected to high-frequency surgical equi-
pment may cause burns at the contact points of Gymform® DUO IMPULSE and
may result in damage to the product.
- Operation of a short-wave therapeutic device or microwave oven in the general vi-
cinity (e.g. 1 metre away) may cause instability in the output power of Gymform®
DUO IMPULSE.
- This is a powerful electrical muscle stimulation device and may cause injury if you
start with the most advanced exercise programme right away. Start with a lower
level and gradually increase the intensity.
- Do not use on children or animals.
- Do not use while driving or sleeping or if you feel drowsy.
- Do not use in the bathroom or in other places with a high amount of moisture or
humidity.
- This device may be used by children aged 8 and over, by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities, and by people lacking in experience and
knowledge, provided they are appropriately supervised or given suitable instruc-
tions on the safe use of the device and understand the dangers its use entails.
Children should not be allowed to play with the device. The cleaning and mainte-
nance to be performed by the user should not be done by children without super-
vision.
- Avoid using the device near equipment that emits electromagnetic radiation such
as telecommunications antennas, microwave ovens and X-ray equipment, as it
may interfere with their function.
- The life of the product depends on skin type, intensity of use and storage con-
ditions. We recommend replacing them after approximately 30 uses to ensure
maximum results. Replacement electrodes are available from the centre where
you purchased the product. If you notice a premature decline in the electrodes’
performance, moisten them with a wet rag.
