8) Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
9) Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery,
or during any activity when electrical stimulation can put you
at risk of injury.
10) Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
11) The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
This electrical stimulation device cannot replace drugs.
12) Stimulation should not take place while the user is
connected to high-frequency surgical equipment, which
may cause burn injuries on the skin under the electrodes,
as well as problems with the stimulator.
13) Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or
microwave therapy equipment, since this may affect the
output power of the stimulator.
14) Never use in the thoracic area. Stimulation electrodes should
never be placed anywhere on the front of the thorax
(marked by ribs and breastbone), and not on the
two large pectoral muscles. Placing electrodes in
these areas can increase the risk of ventricular
fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest.
15) Never place electrodes on eyes, head or face.
16) Never place electrodes near genitals.
17) Never place electrodes on skin that lacks normal sensation.
18) Keep electrodes separated during treatment. It could result
in improper stimulation or skin burns if electrodes are in
contact with each other.
19) Keep the stimulator out of reach of children.
20) Consult your doctor if you have any questions.
21) Discontinue use and do not increase the intensity level if you
feel discomfort during use.
2.2.3 Precautions
1) TENS is not effective for pain of central origin including
headache.
2) TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain
management therapies.
3) TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses
the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a
protective mechanism.
4) Effectiveness is dependent upon patient selection by a
practitioner qualified in the management of pain.
5) Since the effects of stimulating the brain are unknown,
stimulation should not be applied across your head, and
electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of
your head.
6) The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has
not been established.
7) You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to
the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium
(silica gel).
8) If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease or
epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended by
your physician.
9) Do not use if you have a tendency to bleed internally, e.g.
following an injury or fracture.
10) Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a
recent surgical procedure, because stimulation may disrupt
the healing process.
11) Use caution if stimulation is intended to be applied over
the menstruating or pregnant uterus.
12) For single patient use only.
