with the stimulator.
11. Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or
microwave therapy equipment, since this may affect the output
power of the stimulator.
12. Never use in environments with high humidity such as in the
bathroom or when having a bath or shower.
13. Caution should be used in applying electrical stimulation to
patients suspected of having heart disease. Further clinical
data is needed to show there are no adverse results.
14. Never use near the heart. Stimulation electrodes should never
be placed anywhere on the front of the thorax (marked by ribs

the two large pectoral muscles. Here it can increase the risk of
ventricular fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest.

near the genitals or internally.
16. Never use on the areas of the skin which lack normal
sensation.
