- User Manual 04-06EN

Use only the electrodes supplied by NCS Lab (Carpi, Italy). Other electrodes may have inadequate electrical properties or they may damage the
Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device. For reasons of hygiene, each user must have his own set of electrodes. Do not use the same electrodes on
different people. Never use a set of adhesive electrodes for more than 5 sessions, as the quality of the contact between the electrode and the
skin, which is essential for the comfort and effectiveness of the stimulation, progressively decreases. Consult the instructions for use and
storage directly on the electrode package.
Other precautions
related to the use of electrodes:

Move or remove the electrodes ensuring that the device is switched off or the stimulation cables are not connected to the electrodes

Do not immerse the electrodes in water

Do not apply any type of solvent to the electrodes

Wash and clean the skin before treatment to remove any traces of grease and dry it before placing the electrodes on it

Apply the electrodes so that the entire surface is in contact with the skin

Do not reuse the electrodes on the same patient for more than 5 use cycles
Some people, whose skin is particularly sensitive, may have redness under the electrodes after a session. This redness is completely normal
and usually disappears after 10-20min. However, do not start another stimulation session on the same area if the redness is still visible.
Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device directly in contact with the skin but exclusively interposing a protective skin-protection device
between the stimulator and the arm. The sales kit system has a certified medical device protection system inside.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device in water or in damp environments (sauna, hydrotherapy, etc.)

Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device in an oxygen-rich atmosphere

Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device at an altitude higher than 3000 meters

Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device in potentially explosive areas

Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device less than 30 cm away from short-wave or microwave equipment as they may modify
the current generated by the stimulator

Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device in areas where unprotected equipment is present for the emission of electromagnetic
radiation. Portable communication devices can interfere with electro-medical devices
In case of doubt about the use of the stimulator near another medical device, contact the manufacturer of the device in question or the
doctor.
The recommended operating temperature is between -0 °C and + 40 °C, with a relative humidity of 30% to 75% and atmospheric pressure from
700 hPa to 1060 hPa. If you work outside this temperature range, the performance may decrease, or the devices may be damaged. Sudden
temperature variations can cause condensation to accumulate inside the stimulator.
The device must be stored and transported inside the packaging provided in the kit respecting the temperature range from -20 °C to + 45 °C, a
relative humidity of 75%, and atmospheric pressure from 700 hPa to 1060 hPa.
SECURITY MEASURES

Do not apply stimulation near metal parts

Do not perform the first stimulation session on a standing person. For the first few minutes always carry out stimulation on a person
sitting or lying down because the first stimulation can cause a feeling of weakness in people who are very nervous or afraid of
stimulation

The Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device is not compatible with high-frequency surgical equipment. Do not use the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device if you are connected to a high-frequency surgical device, as this may cause skin irritation or burns under the electrodes
WARNING:
Never apply the electrodes:

near the head

on the front and side of the neck

in a contralateral position (i.e. with the two poles placed on opposite segments of the body)

on or near injuries of any kind (sores, edemas, burns, irritations, eczema, tumor lesions, etc.)

on parts of the body not directly visible without help

near implanted devices such as cochlear implants, cardiac stimulators, implantable cardiac defibrillators,
implantable neurostimulators, implants with skeletal anchoring or with electrical components
WARNING: Do not modify this device without the manufacturer's authorization
It is not permitted to modify or open the device
WARNING: The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or supplied by the manufacturer of this
equipment could lead to greater electromagnetic emissions or a decrease in the level of electromagnetic immunity of this
device, resulting in incorrect operation.
