Do not use this System while sleeping.
Do not use if you feel numbness.
Do not use this System in or close to water.
Do not apply stimulation across the chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause
rhythm disturbances to the heart, which could be lethal.
Do not use the pads over or close to cancerous lesions.
Use the pads only on normal, healthy, clean and dry skin. Do not use the pads on open wounds or rashes, or over
swollen, red, infected or inflamed skin.
If you have ever had back surgery, consult your Physician before using this System.
Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when electrical stimulation
is in use.
You must position the pads and operate the unit ONLY as indicated in this manual.
Avoid areas in injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains)
Avoid placing the pads over metal implants.
Do not use in the bath or shower, or in an environment of elevated humidity (e.g. Sauna, hydrotherapy, etc).
Operation in close proximity, such as 3 feet (1 meter), to shortwave or microwave therapy equipment may produce
instability in the device output and may shut the device off.
Do not use the device in an environment where flammable or explosive fumes may exist.
Patient should never operate potentially dangerous machinery such as power saws, automobiles, etc. during electrical
stimulation. It might result in burs at the site of the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the stimulator if you
connect to high frequency equipment.
Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
The system is internally powered (power form battery pack), IP 22, continuous operation.
Wait before using the unit :
At least 6 weeks after the birth of your baby (you must consult your doctor before use).
One month after an IUD contraceptive device (e.g. coil) has been fitted (you must consult your doctor before use).
At least 3 months after having a caesarean section (you must consult your doctor before use).
The heavy days of your period have finished, because vigorous abdominal exercise is not recommended at this time.

Use
caution
when/if:
-
Sensory nerve damage is present by a loss of normal skin sensation.
-
Use caution prior to using this device on patients suspected of having heart disease.
-
Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy when using this device.
-
Use caution following recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process.
-
Use caution when there is a tendency to hemorrhage, such as following acute trauma or fracture.
-
A menstruating or pregnant uterus.
-
Patient experiences skin irritation due to electrical stimulation or the electrical conductive medium used, remove
the electrodes, discontinue stimulation, and consult the clinician. Irritation may be reduced by an alternative
conductive medium or an alternative electrode placement. Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of
electrode placement following long term application.
Place electrodes in accordance with illustrations in the User Manual.
This unit should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any activity in which involuntary muscle
contractions may place the user at undue risk of injury.
Some users may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or the conductive
medium.
Keep this device out of the reach of children. If the patient is a child, make sure he/she is properly supervised during
electrical stimulation. Strangulation resulting from baby or child entanglement in monitoring cables.
