For Your Health and Safety
Contraindications
•
Patients with a demand-type cardiac pacemaker should not use
the NESS L300.
•
Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to,
cancerous lesions.
•
The NESS L300 should not be used over areas of regional
disorders, such as a fracture or dislocation, which would be
adversely affected by motion from the stimulation.
Warnings
•
The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are
unknown.
•
The orthosis should not be applied over swollen, infected, or
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, etc.
•
Simultaneous connection of the L300 to the patient and to high-
frequency surgical equipment may result in burns at the site of
the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the electronic
module of the orthosis.
•
Do not use the NESS L300 in close proximity (less than 3 feet) to
short wave or microwave therapy equipment as it may produce
instability in the orthosis electronic module output.
•
System configuration should only be performed by an authorized
clinician.
