TENS CONTRAINDICATIONS
•
TENS should not be used if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted metallic electronic
device. Such use could cause electric shock, burns, electrical interference, or death.
WARNINGS
•
If you are in the care of a physician consult with your physician before using this device.
•
If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your physician before using this device.
•
If your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for more than five days, stop using the device and
consult with your physician.
•
Do not apply stimulation over your neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of your airway,
difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
•
Do not apply stimulation across your chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm
disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.

phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).
•

not operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.

•
Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
•
Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can put you
