3. If you have undergone any medical or physical treatment for your pain, please consult your
physician before using the stimulator.
4. If your pain is not relieved, becomes severe, or continues for more than five days, please
stop using the stimulator and consult your physician.
5. Do not put the electrodes on the side or front of the neck because such action could cause
severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse
effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
6. Do not apply stimulation across your chest because the introduction of electrical current
into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.
7. The device should never be applied on the head or face..
8. Do not use in case of critical ischemia of the limbs.
9. Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or
inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis or varicose veins)
.
10. Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
11. Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac
monitors, ECG alarms), which may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation
device is in use.
12. Do not apply stimulation when in the bath or shower.
13. Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
14. Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which
electrical stimulation can put you at risk of injury;
15. Do not use the device on children;
16. Do not apply stimulation over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients with a
known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
17. Do not apply stimulation transcerebrally.
18. Please consult your physician before using the stimulator, because the device may cause
lethal rhythm disturbances to the heart in susceptible individuals.
19. Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
20. The electrode pads should only be used by single patient for hygiene.
21. The electrode pads are for external use only.
22. Do not place pads over jewelry or body piercings.
23. Do not place the electrodes on opposite legs.
24. Use this device only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories supplied by the
manufacturer.
25. The electrical performance characteristics of the electrode gel may affect the safety and
effectiveness of electrical stimulation and recording.
26. Using stimulation electrodes that are too small or incorrectly applied could result in
discomfort or skin burns.
27. You should secure the limb(s) to prevent involuntary movement and should be seated or
