CHAPTER 2: CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
•
Read operation manual before use of TENS.
•
We emphasize that patient with an implanted electronic
device (for example, a pacemaker) should not undergo
TENS treatment without first consulting a doctor. The
same applies to patients with any metallic implants.
•
If TENS therapy becomes ineffective or unpleasant,
stimulation should be discontinued until its use is
reevaluated by the physician or therapist.
•
Avoid adjusting controls while operating machinery or
vehicles.
•
Turn the T.E.N.S. off before applying or removing
electrodes.
•
Stimate T.E.N.S. devices have no AP/APG protection.
Do not use it in the presence of explosive atmosphere and
flammable mixture
.
•
Caution should be used in applying TENS to patients
suspected of having heart disease. Further clinical data
is needed to show there are no adverse results.
•
Electrical stimulation safety has not been established
during pregnancy. Do not use TENS during pregnancy.
•
Do not place electrodes on the front of the throat as
spasm of the Laryngeal and Pharyngeal muscle may
occur. Do not stimulate over the carotid nerve,
particularly with patients with known sinus reflex
sensitivity.
•
Care should be taken so that when operating potentially
dangerous machinery the stimulator controls are not
changed abruptly.
•
Cases of skin irritation at the electrode site have been
reported. Stimulation should be stopped and electrodes
removed until the cause of the irritation can be
determined.
•
Electrodes should not be placed over the eyes, in the
mouth, or internally.
•
Keep this device out of the reach of children.
