7.
Powered muscle stimulators should be kept out of the reach of children.
8.
Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the leads and electrodes recommended
for use by Mettler Electronics Corp.
9.
TENS is not effective for pain of central origin, including headache.
10.
TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
11.
TENS devices have no curative value.
12.
TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would
otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
13.
The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
14.
Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied
across the head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the head.
15.
It is advisable to insulate patients, preferably by use of a wooden treatment table or one that is
completely padded by non–conductive material. Added safety is provided if the patient cannot
touch any grounded metal parts.
16.
Limit treatment intensity to 50 mA (50 V) or less, when using small electrodes (2" diameter), to
reduce the chance of thermal burns due to high current density. Avoid current densities
exceeding 2 mA/cm² when using this device.
17.
Turn on the stimulator before applying electrodes to the patient.
5.9 Precautions for use of a Therapeutic Laser
1.
Only authorized and trained practitioners are to apply the treatment.
2.
Protective eyewear to be used always.
3.
Ensure shiny patient jewelry is removed from treatment region.
4.
Avoid treatment over shiny surfaces.
5.
Switch Laser On before applicator is touching the skin, use blue target illumination to direct
treatment to desired application area and then slowly move applicator toward skin surface for
contact. The applicator should be touching the skin during treatment.
6.
Use laser therapy only on or over the treatment region.
7.
Never look into laser beam or laser aperture.
8.
Laser therapy should not be applied in areas of reduced sensation or circulation. Patients
having reduced sensation will not be able to notify the practitioner of discomfort if the
intensities are too high.
5.10
Side Effects/Adverse Reactions for Neuromuscular Electrical
Stimulation
1.
Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes have been reported with the use of powered
muscle stimulators.
2.
Patients may experience headache and other painful sensations during or following the
application of electrical stimulation near the eyes and to the head and face.
