Please pay unconditional attention to the following ground rules:
Do not stimulate directly through ostesynthesis material (metal in the body)
Do not stimulate transcerebral (via the head)
Do not stimulate via the Carotis-Sinus-Nerve (carotid artery)
Do not stimulate in the area of the Sinus knot (heart)
Do not stimulate on the Bulbous (eye)
Do not stimulate in the Larynx-Pharynx-Area (larynx /pharynx)
Do not stimulate in places with skin defects
Do not position the electrodes directly on the spine
Take special care with the use of the electric stimulation:
If after an operation the healing process can be interrupted through a muscle
contraction.
After acute bleeding or bone fractures with a tendency to bleed.
In the case of the menstruation.
If in the case of damage to the perception nerves the normal sensation in the
skin has been lost.
If at the same time the connection is made with a surgical high frequency appa-
ratus, this could result in burn marks underneath the electrodes.
If device operation occurs close to short waves or a microwave, discrepancies
of the initial values of the muscle stimulator could occur.
The application of the electrodes nearby the thorax can increase the risk of
ventricle cilia.
In the case of pregnancy or at persons with implants, electrical stimulation
should only be applied after consultation with an experienced doctor.
If in the case of treatment with the incontinence catheter, pain or irritation
appear in the area of the pelvis, or bleeding in-between menstruation, interrupt
the therapy and consult your doctor.
Should skin irritation occur whilst using the MyoBravo, please interrupt the
application and inform your doctor, so that an allergic reaction can be ruled out.
Please, keep this device stored out of the reach of children.
