CONTRAINDICATIONS
» Do not use this device on persons who have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other
implanted metallic or electronic devices because this may cause electric shock, burns, electrical
interference, or death.
» Do not use this device on people whose pain syndromes are undiagnosed.
» Not to be used by children or incapacitated persons.
WARNINGS
» Use carefully. May cause serious burns. Do not use over sensitive skin areas or areas with poor
circulation. To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, and fire, this device must be used in accor-
dance with the instructions.
» Do not crush the device and its electrodes and avoid sharp folds.
» Carefully examine the device and its electrodes, and do not use if they show any sign of
deterioration.
» Do not tamper with this device and its electrodes in any way. There are no user serviceable parts. If
for any reason they do not function satisfactorily, return to the authorized service center at address
given.
» The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
» Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in persons with a
known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex. Carotid sinus is located on both sides of the neck.
» Stimulation should not be applied over the front 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. Stimulation over the neck can also cause adverse effects on heart
rhythm or blood pressure.
» Do not apply stimulation across the user’s chest contralaterally, because the introduction of
electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to the user’s heart, which could be
lethal.
