* The patient should use the unit only as prescribed
* Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid
* If you experience skin irritation this may be due to over-stimulation.
In this case leave the skin to heal and use TENS only for the periods
prescribed. Turning the current up too high can cause skin irritation.
In this case allow the skin to heal and use TENS at a lower intensity.
Some people experience an allergic reaction to the adhesive coating
on the surface of the electrode. If this happens use a different make
of electrode or change the electrode. If it continues try reducing the
pulse width. If the problem still persists try moving the electrode
position each day by just the width of the electrode, making sure the
electrode positioning is still over the dermatome

* Used only in the course of Labour Pain and not during pregnancy
unless medically advised by your Doctor
