GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Apply stimulation to only normal, intact, clean, dry, and healthy skin.
• TENS is not effective in treating the original source or cause of the pain,
including headache.
• TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other
pain management therapies.
• TENS devices do not cure disease or injuries.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation
of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
• Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner
qualified in the management of pain patients.
• You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical
stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow
precautions recommended by your physician.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions
recommended by your physician.
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following
an injury or fracture.
• Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical
procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating or pregnant uterus.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack
normal sensation.

that may be swallowed. The electrode cord can cause strangulation.
