3.3 When may you not use your Slim Tens?
Do not use the Slim Tens
► if you suffer from cardiac prob-
lems, especially from cardiac dys-
rhythmias. The stimulation current
can lead to ventricular fibrillation
and in the worst case to cardiac
arrest.
► if you have a pacemaker or other
electronic implants. The stimula-
tion current can interfere with the
function of your implant.
► if you suffer from seizures. In se-
vere cases the stimulation current
can trigger convulsions.
► when pregnant. In severe cases
the stimulation current can trigger
contractions.
► if you suffer from allergic skin reac-
tions. The electrodes and patch
can lead to skin irritations.
► if you suffer from systemic illness-
es, i.e. those affecting the entire
body.
► if the Slim Tens is damaged. The
stimulation current can lead to
aches and skin irritations.
3.4 Other factors you need to consider
► Do not allow children access to
your Slim Tens.
Children could swallow small
pieces and as a consequence suf-
focate.
4. How to protect your Slim Tens
► The electronics of your Slim Tens
tolerate neither wetness nor mois-
ture.
Do not rinse the Slim Tens under
running water, do not immerse it
in water or other fluids, and do not
wear it while swimming or while in
the sauna.
► Your Slim Tens is sensitive to heat.
Do not expose the Slim Tens to
direct sunlight, and do not place it
on hot surfaces.
