• Do not use simultaneously with patient monitoring equipment such as EKG
monitors without investigating the possibility of output from the device
causing erroneous monitor readings.
• Do not carry batteries in a pocket, purse, or any other place where the
terminals could become short circuited, (e.g. by way of a coin or paperclip).
Intense heat could be generated and injury may result.
• The long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Do not use with products other than those recommended by
TensCare
.
Precautions
Review the following precautions before using:
• It is not recommended to use device while under the influence of alcohol or
other substances, such as sleeping pills or tranquilizers, which could affect
the patient’s ability to operate the system correctly.
• Removing or inserting the electrode while the system is on could result in
discomfort.
• Use while operating hazardous equipment, machinery or motorized
vehicles could cause abrupt changes in stimulation which can startle the
patient and create a hazard.
• Do not use in close proximity (e.g. <3ft.) to transmitting cellular (wireless)
telephones or two-way radios. This equipment may produce instability in
the stimulatory output. Sudden unexpected changes in output could startle
the patient and create a hazard.
• Use while sleeping is not recommended.
• The patient should discontinue use and consult a clinician if a significant
change in the stimulation sensation occurs without changing the intensity
settings. It is normal to feel a difference in sensation when changing
positions during stimulation.
• Caution should be used following recent surgical procedures when muscle
contraction may disrupt the healing process.
