Chap.2– SAFETY REGULATIONS
2.1– General rules
Before using the device for the first time, you must read the user manual
carefully. In order to use it properly, before starting it up or connecting it to the
patient, you must:
(1)
make a sight check, to identify any
signs of damage;
(2)
carefully take note of all the
notices
on the device;
(3)
take away any
liquid containers
since the device is not protected against
entry of liquids (IP 20);
(4)
make sure the
accessories are available
for applying stimulation (see
paragraph on Basic equipment).
2.2– Contraindications
Electrostimulation must not be carried out on:
(1)
on pacemaker carriers or on individuals affected by heart trouble or heart
rhythm trouble;
(2)
on the front surface of the neck, since this could lead to larynx spasms;
(3)
on the side of the neck, due to the sensitivity of the carotid;
(4)
in the abdomen and lumbar-sacral region, with pregnant women;
(5)
on areas affected by skin lesions, mucose, altered local sensitivity, infective
processes, inflammations, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis;
(6)
in case of implanted electronic equipment (e.g. pacemaker) in the area
immediately below the area being stimulated;
(7)
on areas affected by tumours and in the abdominal/lumbar area when liver or
kidney stones are present;
(8)
Keep it out of the reach of children.
2.3– Precautions during use
We suggest you
consult a physician
and use the electrostimulator under his or
her control if:
1.
you use the neuromuscular stimulation for analgesic purposes on patients
affected by painful syndromes, in order to identify the reason behind their
pathology, especially when the symptoms do not regress within a few days
after the analgesic stimulation has been applied;
2.
applying the electrodes on the face (keep off from the eyes at least 3-5 cm);
3.
near segments to be treated which host metal synthetic media and intra-tissue
metals (like prostheses, osteosynthesis materials, spirals, screws, plates);
4.
patients suffering from epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, the sensitivity
threshold could be altered;
