Warnings
•
Keep out of the reach of children.
•
Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and alarms) may not operate properly when this equipment
is in use.
•
Electrodes should be removed before using equipment that generates high frequency or high energy electromagnetic
radiation such as welding equipment, surgical electrocautery units, shortwave and microwave therapy. Operation in
close proximity (< 3m) to this equipment may startle the user by causing output instability or improper operation of
the stimulator. Simultaneous connection to the patient may result in burns and possible damage to the stimulator.

electromagnetic or other interference could occur to this or to the other equipment. Try to minimize this interference
by not using other equipment in conjunction with it.
•
Do not operate these units in an environment where other devices are being used that intentionally radiate
electromagnetic energy in an unshielded manner. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect
Medical Electrical Equipment.
