To avoid damage to health, we strongly advise against using the device in the
following situations:
• Do not use the device if you have a pacemaker or other implants, such as an
insulin pump or an implanted defibrillator.
• Do not use the device on people who have deep vein thrombosis.
• Do not use the device on people who have arterial or venous thrombosis or
thrombophlebitis. There is a residual risk that electrical stimulation of blood vessels at
or next to blood clots may lead to an embolism. For this reason, do not use the device
on people with thrombosis, even if the condition occurred several years ago.
• Do not use the device on people with metal implants.
• Do not use the device on people who use insulin pumps.
• Do not use the device on people with a high fever (e.g. > 39°C).
• Do not use the device on people with known or acute cardiac arrhythmia or disorders
of the heart's impulse and conduction system.
• Do not use the device on people with seizure disorders (e.g. epilepsy).
• Do not use the device during pregnancy.
• Do not use the device on people with cancer.
• Do not use the device near or on cancer wounds.
• To avoid unwanted movement, do not use the device on broken bones.
• Do not use the device after an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect
the healing process.
• Do not use the device on acutely or chronically diseased, injured or irritated skin (e.g.
inflamed skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes, venous inflammation,
arterial thrombosis, venous thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, allergies,
burns, bruises, swellings, wounds that are still healing or post-operative scars). Only
use the device on healthy and clean skin.
• Do not use the device on tissue that is prone to bleeding.
• Do not position the electrodes over the eyes or in orifices.
• Do not use the device in environments with high humidity, such as in the bathroom or
when bathing or showering.
• Do not use the device following alcohol consumption.
• Do not use the device if connected to a high-frequency surgical device.
• Do not use the device in the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of electronic monitoring devices (such as heart
monitors or electrocardiograph machines).
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of devices that cause unprotected emission of
electromagnetic energy.
• Do not use the device near to the heart. This can increase the risk of ventricular fibril-
lation and induce cardiac arrest.
