The adhesive electrode pads must not be applied directly on the heart region or
positioned directly next to the heart region in order to prevent current flowing
through the heart region.
The adhesive electrode pads must not be applied in such a manner that the
current can directly flow through the brain, e.g. on both templates.
Do not apply the adhesive electrode pads on the following parts of the
body: a. on and in the mouth, b. eyelids, c. front neck area, d. larynx,
e. throat area, f. carotid artery, g. heart region, h. genitalia (genital
organs: penis, testicles, ...), i. fingers, j. pacemakers.
The adhesive electrode pads must not be applied on parts of the body with skin
inflammations or open and fresh wounds or fresh scars.
4.1 Areas where the adhesive electrode pads must
not be applied
Please ensure that the painful part of the body is enclosed by the positions of the
electrodes during a TENS therapy. For an aching group of muscles, you should
apply the electrodes in such a manner that the affected muscles are also enclosed
by the electrodes.
Do not pull the TENS stimulators if you wish to remove the adhesive electrode
pads from the skin! To this end, lift the adhesive electrode pad in the area of the
arrow with the "PULL" imprint and remove it carefully from the skin. Please make
sure that you do not touch the adhesive surfaces with your fingers. Afterwards,
stick the adhesive electrode pads back onto the protective foil and store them in a
cool and dry place.
The adhesive electrode pad consists of two individual electrodes (+ (positive) and
- (negative) pole) which are separated by a white strip in the middle. The
distance between the electrodes has already been defined by the design and,
thus, cannot be changed.
The adhesive electrode pads must not be resized, e.g. by cutting off parts.
Do not use any adhesive electrode pads of an electrode size smaller than 90x57
mm; otherwise, too high a current density can flow and injuries may be caused.
Smaller electrodes falling below a minimum size of 90x57 mm may only be used
if approved by the doctor in charge. In this respect, it is absolutely necessary to
observe the safety instructions of the manufacturer of the respective adhesive
electrodes.
In order to position the adhesive electrode pads correctly, use the information as
well as the figures on page 20 and 21 for TENS therapies intended as application
examples as guidance.
Each person reacts differently to an electric nerve stimulation. The positioning of
the adhesive electrode pads might thus deviate from the standard positions. If
the therapies are not successful, please consult your doctor as to which
positioning techniques are most suitable for you.
