effect. The heat function of the EM 59 Heat can be used parallel or
separately to a stimulation.
The positioning suggestions and program tables in these
instructions for use allow you to quickly and simply determine the
corresponding application (depending on the affected area of the
body) and set the unit to achieve the desired effects.
Thanks to its two separately adjustable channels, the EM 59 Heat
offers you the advantage of being able to set the intensity of the
impulses independently from each other for two treatment areas on
the body, for example to cover both sides of your body or to evenly
stimulate larger areas of tissue. The option to individually set the
intensity of each channel also enables you to treat two separate
areas of the body simultaneously instead of having to treat the
individual areas in turn, which saves you time.
2. Important notes
This device is not a substitute for medical consultation and
treatment. Consult your doctor first if you are experiencing any
pain or are suffering from an illness.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to health, we strongly advise against using the
digital EMS/TENS unit in the following situations:
• With implanted electrical devices
(such as a pacemaker)
• In the case of metal implants
• If you use an insulin pump
• If you have a high temperature (e.g. > 39°C)
• If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia, or disorders of
the heart’s impulse and conduction system
• If you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy)
• If you are pregnant
• If you have cancer
• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the
healing process
• The device must never be used close 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
• Stimulation should not be carried out around or on the head,
directly over the eyes, on the mouth, the throat (the carotid artery
in particular) or using electrodes placed on the chest, the upper
back or over the heart.
Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the
following apply 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
• If you have unexplained chronic pain in any part of the body
• Diabetes
