1.1 Indications
The MEND Professional TM is intended for the symptomatic relief of chronic
intractable pain. The degree of efficiency will vary with patient selection.
1.2 Warnings and Contraindications
•
Microcurrent stimulation should not be used on patients whose pain
syndromes are not diagnosed and etiology is not established. If another
electrode is used as a dispersive electrode, placement of the dispersive
electrode should ensure transthoracic stimulation is not possible.
•
Safety of microcurrent stimulation has not been established during
pregnancy or birth. Microcurrent stimulation is not effective for pain of
central origin including headache.
•
Microcurrent stimulation should be used only under the continued
supervision of a licensed physician. Microcurrent stimulation has no
curative value. Microcurrent stimulation is a symptomatic treatment and
as such suppresses the sensation of pain which would otherwise serve as
a protective mechanism.
•
The stimulation and electrodes should not be applied across or through
the head, directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of the
neck, especially over the carotid sinus (upper side of neck), or from
electrodes placed on the chest and the upper back or crossing over the
heart. Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of
cardiac fibrillation.
•
Don’t use microcurrent stimulation on patients who have a demand type
pacemaker. A patient with an implanted electronic device (for example a
cardiac pacemaker) should not be subjected to stimulation unless
specialist medical opinion has first been obtained.
•
Do not allow children to use or handle this device. Keep the device and
lead wires away from children when not in use. Strangulation could
result from baby or child entanglement in the wire leads.
•
Do not operate vehicles or potentially dangerous machinery during
periods of stimulation.
