Contraindications

Do not use if you have a pacemaker (or if you have a heart
rhythm problem) or with any electronic medical devices.
Using this unit with electronic medical devices may cause
erroneous operation of the device. Stimulation in the direct
vicinity of an implanted device may affect some models.
Stimulation on the front of the neck can affect your heart
rate. Very strong stimulation across the chest may cause an
extra heartbeat.
Do not use during the first three months of pregnancy; or in
the first 6-8 weeks after childbirth. It is not known whether
TENS may affect foetal development.
Do not use on the abdomen in the later stages of pregnancy.
Stop using immediately if you experience unexpected
contractions.
Warnings
Do NOT use when driving, operating machinery, or similar
actions needing muscular control. Loose electrodes, 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.
Do NOT use electrodes on the front of the neck. Stimulation
on the front of the neck can affect your heart rate or cause
contraction of the throat.
