12. CONTRAINDICATIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Do not use if you have a heart pacemaker or have a heart rhythm problem. TENS or electrical
stimulation in the direct vicinity of a pacemaker may affect some models. If TENS or electrical
stimulation is applied on the front of the neck this can affect your heart rate. Very strong TENS or
stimulation across the chest may cause an extra heartbeat.
• Do not use if you have epilepsy. TENS may affect seizure threshold
• Do not use if you are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant. It is not known whether TENS
or electrical stimulation may affect foetal development.
• Do not use on the abdomen in the later stages of pregnancy. Stop use immediately if you
experience unexpected contractions.
• Do not use when driving, operating machinery, or similar actions needing fine control. Loose 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 progressive condition.
Do not use if you have cognitive disabilities, i.e.; Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
