WARNINGS:
Do NOT use
when driving,
operating machinery, or similar
actions
needing
muscular
control.
Loose
electrode
pads,
damaged leads, or sudden changes in
contact may cause brief involuntary
muscle movements.
Do NOT use
to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain.
This may
delay diagnosis of a progressive
condition.
Do NOT use
if you have, in the
area being treated: active or
suspected cancer or undiagnosed pain
with a history of cancer.
Stimulation
directly
through
a
confirmed
or
suspected
malignancy
should
be
avoided as it may stimulate growth and
promote spread of cancer cells.
CAUTIONS:
Caution
should be used if you
have a bleeding disorder as
stimulation may increase blood flow to
the stimulated region.
Caution
should be used if you
have suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy as electrical stimulation may
affect seizure threshold.
Caution
should be observed
when using the device at the
same time as being connected to
monitoring
equipment
with
body
worn electrode pads. It may interfere
with the signals being monitored.
Caution
should
be
used
following
recent
surgical
procedures. Stimulation may disrupt
the healing process.
Caution
Simultaneous
connection to high frequency
surgical equipment may result in burns
and damage to the stimulator.
Caution
Strong
electromagnetic fields (electro-
surgery/ microwave cookers/ mobile
phones)
may
affect
the
correct
operation of this unit. If it appears to
behave unusually, move it away from
these devices.
Caution
Do not permit use by
children unable to understand
the instructions or persons with
cognitive disabilities, i.e.; Alzheimer’s
disease or dementia.
Caution
Keep away from
children under 5 years of age.
Long cord -
risk of strangulation in
infants
.
Caution
should be observed
when using the
perfect EMS
at
high strength settings. Prolonged use at
high settings may cause muscle injury
or tissue inflammation. The
perfect
EMS
is capable of delivering outputs in
excess of 10 mA (RMS) or 10 V
averaged over any period of 1 sec.
DO NOT PLACE ELECTRODE PADS:
•
On skin, which does not have normal
sensation.
If the skin is numb too
great a strength may be used, which
could result in skin inflammation.
•
On broken skin.
The electrode pads
could encourage infection.
•
On the front of the neck.
This could
cause the airway to close, giving
breathing problems.
May
cause
sudden drop in blood pressure
(vasovagal response).
•
Over the eyes.
May affect eyesight
or cause headaches.
•
Across the front of the head.
Effect
on patients who have had strokes or
