9 Warnings and safety precautions
Warning!
In case of patients with implanted electronic device please carry out high tone therapy
only after having checked whether there is any risk.
Pieces of jewellery and glasses have to be taken off during the treatment.
Turn off cellular phones and radiophones or place them in a distance of 3 m from the
device.
Cardiac pacemakers can extremely be disturbed. In these cases the therapy should be
carried out only under continuous pulse and ECG control.
If the patient and/or the patient cable is in direct range of high frequency, shortwave or
microwave therapeutic device, a damage to the device or an injury to the patient
cannot be excluded. Please keep a distance of at least 3 m.
A simultaneous connection of the patient to a high-frequency surgery device can lead
to burns under the electrical stimulus electrodes.
The device is not designed for use in non-explosion-proof areas. If it is used in
dangerous anesthesia areas, an explosion cannot be excluded.
It is recommended not to exceed the current density of 2 mA/cm
2
for all electrodes.
The electrodes must adhere completely to the skin in order to avoid excessive local
current density. Otherwise there can occur erythemas, and sometimes even burns.
Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation
.
In case of any visible failures please contact immediately gbo Medizintechnik AG or
one of the service agencies authorized by gbo Medizintechnik AG.
