WARNING
AND SAFETY
GUIDELINES
COUNTER-INDICATIONS
NEVER use PowerDot PD-01M if you
have ANY of the following:
• Cardiac stimulator (pacemaker),
implanted defibrillator or other implanted
metallic or electronic device. Such
use could cause electric shock, burns,
electrical interference or death.
• Epilepsy.
• Cancer or cancerous lesions.
• Any heart problem or condition.
• Pregnancy
• (do not use over the abdominal area).
• Serious arterial circulation disorders in
lower limbs.
• Abdominal or inguinal hernia.
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR before using
PowerDot PD-01M if you have ANY of
the following:
• After trauma or a recent operation (less
than 6 months prior).
• Muscle atrophy.
• Persistent pain.
• Need for muscle rehabilitation.
SAFETY MEASURES
• Never run the first stimulation session on
a person who is standing. The first few
minutes of stimulation should be always
performed on a sitting or lying person.
On rare occasions, nervous people
may experience a vasovagal reaction.
This is related to a psychological fear of
involuntary muscle contractions caused
by the muscle stimulation. A vasovagal
reaction can cause weakness and faint
due to slow down of the heart and drop
of blood pressure. It it does occur, stop
the stimulation, lie down with the legs
raised until the feeling for 5-10 minutes
or until the weakness disappears.
• Do not charge or re-charge PowerDot
PD-01M device when it is attached to any
part of your body.
• Do not apply stimulation near the
area of an implant, such as cochlear
implants, pacemakers, electrical or
skeletal anchorage implants or any other
active implanted or body worn devices.
Such use could cause electric shock,
burns, implantable/body worn device
malfunction due to electrical interference
or death.
• Do not apply stimulation near metal.
Remove jewelry, body piercings,
belt buckles or any other removable
metallic product or device in the area of
stimulation.
• If pregnant or menstruating, do not place
electrodes directly over the uterus or
connect pairs of electrodes across the
abdomen.
• Do not use PowerDot PD-01M in water
or in a humid atmosphere (sauna,
hydrotherapy, etc.).
• Do not apply stimulation in bath or shower.
• Do not use PowerDot PD-01M in an
oxygen-rich atmosphere.
• Do not connect leads or pads to the other
objects.
• During a stimulation session, do not
disconnect electrodes when stimulation
is running. Stop the stimulation first.
• Do not use the PowerDot PD-01M while
driving, operating machinery, cycling or
during any activity in which electrical
stimulation can put you at risk of injury.
• Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
• Do not allow movement resulting
from muscular contraction during a
stimulation session. You should try to
always stimulate in isometric way; this
means that the extremities of the limb
in which a muscle is being stimulated
must be firmly fixed, so as to prevent any
movement resulting from contraction.
• Keep PowerDot PD-01M device and its
accessories out of reach of children and
pets. Do not allow any foreign objects
(soil, water, metal, etc.) to get into the
device.
• Do not use the PowerDot PD-01M unit
within 1.5 meters of short wave or
unshielded microwave devices as this
could alter the current generated by the
stimulator. If you have any doubts when
using the stimulator in close proximity to
another medical device, please contact
the device manufacturer or your doctor.
• Sudden temperature changes can cause
condensation to build up inside the
stimulator. Only use the device once it
has reached ambient temperature.
• Do not exert yourself when using
electrical muscle stimulation. Any
workout should be at a level comfortable
for you.
• Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of
over 3,000 meters.
