Warnings
Below are warnings that should be observed before beginning Interferential
Stimulation.

The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy or delivery has not yet been
established.

Interferential stimulation is not effective for pain of central origin. (This includes
headache.)

Interferential devices should be used only under the continued supervision of a
physician.

Interferential devices have no curative value.

Interferential current therapy is a symptomatic treatment and as such suppresses
the sensation of pain which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.

Electronic monitoring equipment (such as Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors and
ECG alarms) may not operate properly when interferential stimulation is in use.

Stimulus delivered by this device may be sufficient to cause electrocution.
Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
Precautions
The following precautions should be observed:

Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement
following long-term application.

Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in
the management of pain patients.
Adverse Effects
Unusually high sensitivity to electrical stimulation may result in skin irritation and
burns beneath the electrodes. If this occurs, discontinue use until the source has
been determined and corrected.
Keep out of the reach of children at all times.
Warning
Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by, or on the order
of, a practitioner licensed by the State in which he/she practices to
use or order the use of the device.
