Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System
• 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.
• Handle, clean and dispose of components and accessories
that have come in contact with bodily fluids according to
National, Local and Facility rules, regulations and
procedures.
• This unit is considered to be a Class 3B Laser product and
thus emits visible and invisible Laser radiation (IR). Avoid
direct eye exposure to the Laser beam. The symbol to the
left is located on the back of the applicator and indicates
the active radiant surface (the area on the applicator that
emits infrared Laser energy and the direction of the beam
of light).When the unit is on, not all wavelengths are
visible to the naked eye. Therefore, when performing any
operational or functional check, always wear Chattanooga
laser protective eyewear.
• The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions used
for cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to
evaporate before the unit is used.
• 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.
• Laser protective eyewear should be worn during laser
treatment by the operator and patient to block infrared
light energy from the eyes during treatment.
• DO NOT point the Laser beam directly into human or
animal eyes. The lens of the eye does not detect the
invisible, coherent Laser beams, potentially resulting in
permanent retinal damage.
• Device is not designed to be used in oxygen rich
environment. Explosion hazard if the device is used in the
presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air,
oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

• Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes in contact
with each other could result in improper stimulation or skin burns.
• Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and
the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause
difficulty in breathing.
• Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac
arrhythmia.
• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, and
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, etc.
• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity
to, cancerous lesions.
• Electrotherapy output current density is related to electrode size.
Improper application may result in patient injury. If any question
arises as to the proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner
prior to therapy session.
• The Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System optional modules and
associated accessories are designed for use only with the Intelect® Neo
Clinical Therapy System.
• Remove the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator by pulling the cable
connector only. DO NOT remove by pulling the cable.
• Vacuum electrodes should not be used on patients with thin, papery
skin. Vacuum may lead to contact difficulty and bruising.
• Vacuum electrodes are not suitable for patients who are taking
steroids, due to the likelihood of bruising.
• Output current density is related to electrode size. Improper
application may result in patient injury. If any question arises as to the
proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner prior to therapy
session.
• Do not apply the Ultrasound Applicator to the patient during the Head
Warming period. Applicator must remain in Applicator Hook during the
Head Warming period.
• Some patients are more sensitive to laser output (i.e., patients taking
medications that increase sensitivity to light) and may experience a
reaction similar to a heat rash.
• Before each Laser use, clean the plastic lens with a clean cloth. Make
certain to apply with a clean cloth. Failure to clean the lens between
patient therapy sessions could cause beam fragmentation, which may
reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
