- Do not place the electrodes on skin that is not intact, clean or healthy,
over or near cancerous lesions or on areas of skin that lack normal
sensation.
- Do not place the electrodes over open wounds or rashes,
or over swollen, red, infected or inflamed areas or skin eruptions
(e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins).
- Do not place the electrodes inside body cavities, e.g. the mouth.
Do not use the device in the following conditions
- Do not use the device if you are in the care of a doctor and have
not consulted your doctor first.
- Do not use the device if you have a tendency to bleed internally due
to any impact or injury.
- As TENS stimulation may have a negative effect on the healing
process, do not use the device if you had surgery recently.
- Do not use EMS stimulation to contract a muscle if contraction of the
muscle may disrupt healing. For instance, if the muscle or tendon is
torn, muscle contraction may exacerbate the tear, just like a voluntary
contraction. This may also be the case after a recent surgical
procedure or following acute trauma or fracture. Muscle contraction
in case of tendinitis may also worsen symptoms.
- Do not use the device while driving, operating machines or
performing any other activity in which electrical stimulation can put
you at risk of injury.
- Do not use if you are likely to fall asleep during the treatment.
If you use the device at bedtime, set the timer to make it switch
off automatically.
- Do not use while in the bath, shower or swimming pool.
- Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring
equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), which may not
operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.
- Do not use the device when you are connected to high-frequency
surgical equipment. This may result in burns on the skin under the
electrodes and may damage the device.
- Do not use the device within less than 1 metre from shortwave or
microwave medical equipment. Close proximity to this equipment
may cause unstable device output.
