TensCare OVA Bedienungsanleitung Seite 5

Do NOT use electrodes across the chest. Very strong
stimulation across the chest may cause an extra heartbeat
and/or rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be
lethal.
Do NOT use while simultaneously connected to high
frequency surgical equipment as it may result in burns at
the site of stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the
stimulator.
Do NOT use in close proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or
microwave as this may produce instability in the stimulator
output.
Do NOT use electrodes near the thorax as this may increase
the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
Do not use the heat function if you cannot sense
temperature.
Do not use the heat function on any muscle or joint which
has swelling or edema. Heat may worsen the pain and/or
condition.
Do not use if you experience any adverse reactions from the
device and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
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.
