The adhesive electrodes must not be applied in such a manner that the current
can directly flow through the brain, e.g. on both temples.
Do not apply the adhesive electrodes on the following parts of the body:
a. on and in the mouth, b. eyelids, c. front neck area, d. larynx,
e. throat area, f. carotid artery, g. heart region, h. genitalia (genital
organs: penis, testicles, ...), i. fingers, j. pacemakers.
Reversed positioning: Never position two poles of the same channel (one
electrode connected to the red positive pole and one electrode connected to the
black negative pole) on different sides of the body axis (i.e. one adhesive
electrode (+) on the right arm and one adhesive electrode (-) on the left arm).
Do not apply the adhesive electrodes directly on the heart region or do not
position the adhesive electrodes directly right next to the heart region in order to
prevent current flowing through the heart region.
The adhesive electrodes must not be applied on parts of the body with skin
inflammations or open and fresh wounds.
4.1 Areas where the adhesive electrodes must not
be used
For the positioning of the electrodes during an EMS therapy, the following
instructions must be observed: If you wish to activate the superficial muscles, you
should apply the adhesive electrodes in parallel to the direction of the muscle
fibres. In order to reach the deep muscle layers, we recommend applying the
adhesive electrodes transversely to the direction of the muscle fibres.
Please ensure that the painful part of the body is enclosed by the positions of the
electrodes during a TENS therapy. For an aching group of muscles, the electrodes
are applied in such a manner that the affected muscles are also enclosed by the
electrodes.
Do not pull the cable if you wish to remove the adhesive electrodes from the skin.
Lift the adhesive electrodes on the edges and remove them carefully.
The recommended distance between the electrodes should not be smaller than
approx. 5 cm and not longer than approx. 25 cm.
The adhesive electrodes must not be resized, e.g. by cutting off parts.
Do not use any adhesive electrodes of an electrode size smaller than 40 x 40 mm
(16 cm²); otherwise, too high a current density can flow and injuries may be
caused.
In order to position the adhesive electrodes correctly, use the information
provided on page 27 as well as the figures on page 28-29 for TENS therapies as
well as on page 30-33 for EMS therapies intended as application examples as
guidance.
Each person reacts differently to an electric nerve stimulation. The positioning of
the electrodes might thus deviate from the standard positions. If the therapies
are not successful, please consult your doctor as to which positioning techniques
are most suitable for you.
