Warnings (Continued)

 

 

· 

Stimulation shall not be applied transcerebrally.

 

· 

Stimulation shall not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas of skin, 
eruptions, e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.

 

· 

Stimulation shall not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.

 

· 

This device is capable of generating currents and voltages in excess of 10 mA RMS 
and 10 V RMS, respectively.  A yellow LED indicator is provided next to each lead 
wire connector to show that the unit is delivering energy for any non

-

zero value of 

stimulation output (1

-

50 mA).

 

· 

Simultaneous connection of a patient to high frequency surgical equipment may 
result in burns at the site of the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the 

stimulator.

 

· 

Operations within close proximity (within one meter) of shortwave or microwave 
therapy equipment may produce instability in the stimulation output.
