• Use caution when/if:
- Sensory nerve damage is present by a loss of normal skin sensation.
- Use caution prior to using this device on patients suspected of having heart
disease.
- Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy when using
this device.
- Use caution following recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction
may disrupt the healing process.
- Use caution when there is a tendency to hemorrhage, such as following acute
trauma or fracture.
- A menstruating or pregnant uterus.
- Patient experiences skin irritation due to electrical stimulation or the electrical
conductive medium used, remove the electrodes, discontinue stimulation, and
consult the clinician. Irritation may be reduced by an alternative conductive
medium or an alternative electrode placement. Isolated cases of skin irritation
may occur at the site of electrode placement following long term application.
• Place electrodes in accordance with illustrations in the User Manual.
• This unit should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any
activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may place the user at undue
risk of injury.
• Some users may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical
stimulation or the conductive medium.
• Keep this device out of the reach of children. If the patient is a child, make sure
he/she is properly supervised during electrical stimulation.
• Application of moderate heat (thermal wrap) to muscles as well as moistening
skin prior to treatment improves treatment efficacy; use of cold packs on treated
muscles after treatment is likewise recommended.
• This unit should only be used with the leads, electrodes and accessories pro
vided by the manufacturer.
• The device is not intended for medical use, for the treatment of any medical
condition or for any permanent physical changes.
• Contact Trimpeks, or an authorized dealer, if your unit is not working correctly.
Do not use in the meantime.
• An effective session should not cause discomfort.
• For first time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We recom-
mend that you begin in a seated position with low stimulation intensity settings to
familiarize yourself with the sensation before progressing to higher intensity
settings.
• The leads and pads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not over exert yourself while using muscle stimulation. Any workout should be
at a comfortable level for you.
