Neuromuscular Stimulation
This section of the document provides general information related to neuromuscular
stimulation.
Indications
The CS6103 may be used, with a physician's prescription, for a variety of reasons
including:

Relaxation of muscle spasm

increasing local blood circulation

maintaining or increasing range of motion

preventing or retarding disuse atrophy, muscle reeducation, and

immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
The Neuromuscular Stimulator Modes include:

Muscle Stimulation (Stm), and

Memory (Mem) [when using Stm function]
Contraindications
Cancer patients or anyone with a demand-type cardiac pacemaker should not use
the CS6103.
Warnings
Below are warnings that should be observed before beginning Neuromuscular
Stimulation.

Carotid Sinus - Do not stimulate over the carotid sinus nerves , especially if
an individual has a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex. Severe spasm to
the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles (throat) may occur when the electrodes are
positioned over the neck and mouth. These contractions may be strong enough to
close the airway passage in the throat to close or cause difficulty in breathing.

Skin Irritation - The CS6103 should not be used over infected, inflamed, or
swollen areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins.

Heart Problems/Epilepsy - Persons with suspected or diagnosed heart
problems, or epilepsy, should consult their physicians before considering the use
of electrical muscle stimulation. Caution should be used in the transthoracic
application of electrical muscle stimulators in that the introduction of electrical
current into the heart may cause arrhythmias.
The CS6103 should only be used under the medical supervision of a
qualified practitioner for adjunctive therapy for the treatment of medical
diseases and conditions.
