Warnings and Precautions
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
Proactive
TM
TheraBelt
TM
.
By selecting this
unit, you have chosen a high quality, innovative product.
Back belts with electrodes are intended to be used with Electrical Muscle
Stimulators (EMS) or with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators
(TENS). The TheraBelt will deliver the stimulation signals generated by the
TENS/EMS
devices to the body surface with which they are in contact for
fast and soothing pain relief. This back belt
is compatible with the following
Proactive
TM
TENS / EMS units:
TM
, Thera3
TM
, Alevia
TM
, and Pulse
TM
.
With back pain, it often hurts to flex in any direction, and lower back
flexibility is reduced. As a result, ensuring proper TENS electrode
placement is difficult. The
Proactive
TM
TheraBelt
TM
is
made of conductive
rubber to stimulate the back. It is a safe and effective alternative to using
gel pads, especially
when there are limitations to movement.
The
Proactive
TM
TheraBelt
TM
is designed to correctly position the pads on
lower back pain sites, making it easy-to-use by simply placing it around
the waist. The conductive electrodes are preset – eliminating painful
movement, as well as twists and turns commonly associated with
gel pad placement.
The thin, high quality light weight fabric makes the back belt a great
product to use at home or at work. This
Proactive
TM
TheraBelt
TM
can be
worn under clothes providing on-going pain relief anywhere!

1. The long-term effects of frequent electrical stimulation are unknown.
This product should be used only under the continued supervision of
a licensed medical practitioner.
2. Adjust the TENS unit as per instruction manual or physician
instructions for your treatment. For safety and comfort, turn off the
unit before removing back belt from your body.
3. Do not use the back belt if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted
defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or electronic device.
Otherwise it might cause electric shock, burns, electrical interference,
even death.
4. Do not place the back belt over your neck to avoid possible muscle
spasms resulting in closure of your airway, difficulty in breathing, or
adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
5. Do not use while connected to high-frequency surgical equipment or
near shortwave or microwave therapy equipment.
6. Do not place the back belt conductive electrodes across your chest
because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause
rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.
7. Do not place the back belt over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
