CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Do NOT use
if you have a pacemaker
(or if you have a heart rhythm problem)
or with any electronic medical devices.
Using this unit with electronic medical
devices may cause erroneous
operation of the device. Stimulation in
the direct vicinity of an implanted device
may affect some models.
Do NOT use
during the first three
months of pregnancy.
It is not known
whether TENS may affect foetal
development.
Do NOT use
on the abdomen in the
later stages of pregnancy.
Stop using
immediately if you experience
unexpected contractions.
WARNINGS:
Do NOT use
when driving, operating
machinery, or similar actions needing
muscular control.
Loose electrode
pads, damaged leads, or sudden
changes in contact may cause brief
involuntary muscle movements.
Do NOT use
to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain.
This may delay
diagnosis of a progressive condition.
Do NOT use
if you have, in the area
being treated: active or suspected
cancer or undiagnosed pain with a
history of cancer.
Stimulation directly
through a confirmed or suspected
malignancy should be avoided as it may
stimulate growth and promote spread of
cancer cells.
Do NOT use
electrodes on the front of
the neck. Stimulation on the front of the
neck can affect your heart rate or cause
contraction of the throat.
Do NOT use
electrodes across the
chest. Very strong stimulation across
the chest may cause an extra heartbeat
and/or rhythm disturbances to your
heart, which could be lethal.
Do NOT use
Perfect mama+ while
simultaneously connected to high
frequency surgical equipment as it may
result in burns at the site of stimulator
electrodes and possible damage to the
stimulator.
Do NOT use
Perfect mama+ in close
proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or
microwave as this may produce
instability in the stimulator output.
Do NOT use
electrodes near the thorax
as this may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
CAUTIONS:
Caution
should be used if you have a
bleeding disorder as stimulation may
increase blood flow to the stimulated
region.
Caution
should be used if you have
suspected or diagnosed epilepsy as
electrical stimulation may affect seizure
threshold.
Caution
should be observed when
using the device at the same time as
being connected to monitoring
equipment with body worn electrode
pads.
TENS machines may affect ECG based
foetal heart rate monitors, causing them
to give a very high reading. Please
advise hospital staff that you are using
a TENS device.
Caution
should be used following
recent surgical procedures. Stimulation
may disrupt the healing process.
