9. Turn the TENS off before applying or removing electrodes.
10. Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode
placement following long term application. If this occurs,
discontinue use and consult your physician.
11. If TENS therapy becomes ineffective or unpleasant, stimulation
should be discontinued until its use is re-evaluated by a physician
12. Keep this device out of the reach of children.
13. The device has no AP/APG protection.
Do not use it in the presence of explosive atmosphere and
flammable mixture.
EMS
1. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician
2. Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy
has not been established.
3. Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed
heart problems.
4. Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy.
5. Caution should be used in the presence of the following:
a. When there is a tendency to hemorrhage following acute
trauma or fracture;
b. Following recent surgical procedures when muscle
contraction may disrupt the healing process;
c. Over the menstruating or pregnant uterus; and
d. Over areas of the skin which lack normal sensation.
6. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity
due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium.
The irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternate
conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
7. Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based
on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner.
8. Powered muscle stimulators should be kept out of the reach of
children.
9. Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the leads
and electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer.
10. Portable powered muscle stimulators should not be used while
driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which
involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk
of injury.
should only be used under medical supervision for adjunctive thera-
py for the treatment of medical diseases and conditions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read instruction manual before operation. Be sure to comply with

Chapter 3 : CAUTIONS
TENS
1. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
2. Do not use this device for undiagnosed pain syndromes until
consulting a physician.
3. Patients with an implanted electronic device, such as a cardiac
pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or any other metallic or
electronic device should not undergo TENS treatment without
first consulting a doctor.
4. Patients with heart disease, epilepsy, cancer or any other health
condition should not undergo TENS treatment without first
consulting a physician.
5. Stimulation delivered by this device may be sufficient to cause
electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow
through the thorax or across the chest because it may cause a
cardiac arrhythmia.
6. Do not place electrodes on the front of the throat as spasm of
the Laryngeal and Pharyngeal muscle may occur. Stimulation
over the carotid sinus (neck region) may close the airways,
make breathing difficult, and may have adverse effects on the
heart rhythm or blood pressure.
7. Do not place electrodes on your head or at any sites that may
cause the electrical current to flow transcerebrally (through the
head).
8. This device should not be used while driving, operating
machinery, close to water, or during any activity in which
involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk
of injury.
