REVOLUTION WIRELESS™
− Do not disconnect any module that is switched on during the stimulation session. They
must be switched off first.
− Do not use the stimulator while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in
which involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk of injury. Do not
apply stimulation during sleep.
− Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of over 9,800 feet.
− Always turn off the stimulator before moving or removing any electrodes during a
session, to avoid electrical shock to the patient.
− Do not try to place electrodes on a body part not directly visible without assistance.
− Attach the electrodes in such a way that their entire surface is in contact with the skin.
− For reasons of hygiene, each patient must have their own set of electrodes. Do not use
the same electrodes on different patients.
− Contaminated electrodes or gel can lead to infection.
− Use of electrodes with degraded hydrogel can result in burns to the skin.
−
Size of electrodes
. Do not use electrodes with an active area of less than 16 cm² due to
the risk of associated burning. Proceed systematically with caution when the density of
the current is over 2 mA/cm².
− Do not place the electrodes in water.
− Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.
-
Skin irritation
. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to
the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be
reduced by using an alternate conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
If redness of the skin is observed under the electrode, do not start another stimulation
session on the same area if the redness is still visible.
