DANGER
DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical
supply without first verifying that the power
supply is the correct voltage. Incorrect voltage
may cause unit damage, malfunction, electrical
shock, fire, or personal injury. Your unit was
constructed to operate only at the electrical
voltage specified on the Voltage Rating and
Serial Number plate. Contact your DJO dealer if
the unit is not properly rated.
WARNING
•
U.S.A Federal Law restricts these devices to
sale by, or on the order of, a physician or
licensed practitioner. This device should be
used only under the continued supervision
of a physician or licensed practitioner.
•
Be sure to read all instructions for operation
before treating a patient.
•
Only authorized individuals are allowed to
operate the Revolution Wireless. Individuals
are authorized after receiving training in the
operation of the unit and reading this
operating on manual
•
The long-term effects of chronic electrical
stimulation are unknown.
•
TENS is not effective for pain of central
origin (including headache).
•
TENS waveforms have no curative value.
•
TENS is a symptomatic treatment, and as
such, suppresses the sensation of pain which
would otherwise serve as a protective
mechanism.
•
Before using the therapy unit, the operator
must ascertain that it is in correct working
order and operating condition. The cables
and connectors, in particular, must be
checked for signs of damage. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately, before use.
•
Stop therapy immediately if you have doubts
about the device settings and/or the therapy
protocol.
•
Patients must be fully conscious while being
instructed in the use of the therapy unit and
during therapy.
WARNING
•
Do not treat through clothing.
•
Stop treatment immediately if patient
experiences discomfort or pain.
•
The choice of the therapy parameters to
program, of the therapy protocols and
electrode placement is restricted to the
responsible physician or therapist. It is the
physician’s or therapist’s decision whether
or not to use the unit on a specific patient.
•
The patient must be familiar with the
functions of the Revolution Wireless remote
control with the modules and the remote
control must be within easy reach of the
patient, allowing them to stop therapy, if
needed. Patients unable to operate the
emergency stop function (either by stopping
on the remote control or by turning off the
modules), e.g. paralytic patients, must never
be left unattended during therapy.
•
Use of accessories other than those
specified in this User Manual may increase
electrical emissions, decrease electrical
immunity or lead to unsafe conditions.
•
The utmost caution is advised under the
following conditions. Depending on the
judgment of the responsible physician, the
unit may only be applied under supervision
and with the parameters defined by the
responsible physician. Otherwise the
exercise may be too strenuous for the
patients with:
1. Hypertension (> stage 2), ischemic heart
disease and cerebrovascular diseases
2. Cardiovascular diseases
3. Pregnancy. Safety of powered muscle
stimulators for use during pregnancy has not
been established.
4. Under 16 years of age
Never apply the electrodes as follows:
•
Stimulation should not be applied
transcerebrally, or on the eyes.
•
Stimulation should not be applied over the
anterior neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the
laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur
and the contractions may be strong enough
to close the airway or cause difficulty in
breathing.
