•
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this
device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of
25 microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
•
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device
must not be treated with or be in close proximity to
any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy,
therapeutic ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy
anywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy
(shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser) can be
transferred through the implanted neurostimulation
system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in
severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can
occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted
neurostimulation system is turned “off.”
•
DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply without
first verifying that the power supply is the correct voltage.
Incorrect voltage may cause unit damage, malfunction,
electrical shock, fire, or personal injury. Your unit was
constructed to operate only on the electrical voltage
specified on the Voltage Rating and Serial Number Plate.
Contact your DJO dealer if the unit is not properly rated.

•
Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous
oxide.
•
The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions
used for cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to
evaporate before the unit is used.
•
NiMH Batteries contain Class E corrosive materials. In the
event of battery cell rupture or leakage, handle battery
pack wearing neoprene or natural rubber gloves. Contents
of a ruptured or leaking battery can cause respiratory
irritation. Hypersensitivity to nickel can cause allergic
pulmonary asthma. Contents of cell coming in contact
with skin can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns.
•
Never, under any circumstances, open the battery pack
housing or cells. Should an individual battery from
a battery pack become disassembled, spontaneous
combustion of the negative electrode is possible. There
can be a delay between exposure to air and spontaneous
combustion.
•
Charge the battery pack according to the instructions
found in this manual. Never attempt to charge the battery
pack on any other charging mechanism.
•
Use the battery pack only with the Intelect Mobile Series units.
