• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the
healing process
• The device must never be used near to the heart.
The stimulation electrodes must not be placed on
any part of the front ribcage (where the ribs and
breastbone are located), especially not on the
two large pectorals. this can increase the risk of
ventricular fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
• On the skeletal skull structure, or around the mouth, throat or
larynx
• In the neck/carotid artery area
• In the genital area
• On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin (e.g.
inflamed skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes,
e.g. allergies, burns, bruises, swellings, both open and healing
wounds, and post-operative scars where the healing process
could be affected)
• In humid environments (e.g. in the bathroom) or when bathing or
showering
• Do not use after consuming alcohol
• If connected to a high-frequency surgical device
• In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract
Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the
following applies to you:
• Serious illnesses, in particular if you suspect or have been
diagnosed with high blood pressure, a blood coagulation
disorder, propensity to thrombo-embolic conditions or recurrent
malignant growths
• Any skin conditions
• Unexplained chronic pain in any part of the body
• Diabetes
• Any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling of pain (e.g.
metabolic disorders)
• If you are receiving medical treatment
• In the event of complaints linked to stimulation treatment
• If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term
stimulation at the same electrode site
IMPORTANT!
Only use digital EMS/TENS units:
• On people
• For the intended purpose and as specified in these instructions
for use. Improper use can be dangerous.
• For external use
• With the original accessories supplied, which can be re-ordered.
Failure to do so invalidates the warranty.
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always pull firmly on electrodes to remove them from the skin to
prevent injuries in the unusual case of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and do not use it in
close proximity (approx. 1 m) to shortwave or microwave devices
(e.g. mobile phones), as doing so can result in unpleasant current
peaks.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes may only be used on one
person.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or
experience pain, stop using it immediately.
• Switch off the unit or the respective channel first before removing
or relocating electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
• Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them). This increases
the current intensity, which is potentially hazardous (max.
recommended output value for the electrodes is 9 mA/cm², an
effective current intensity beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased
awareness).
• Do not use the device whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating
machinery.
