Precautionary Measures - Beurer em 41 Gebrauchsanleitung

Before using the machine, you should consult with the doctor in charge
of your treatment in the event of the following:
• Acute diseases, especially if hypertension is suspected or actually exists,
or blood-clotting disorders, tendency to thromboembolic diseases or in
case of malignant new masses
• All skin diseases
• Chronic pain disorders which have not been clarified, regardless of the
region of the body
• Diabetes
• All sensitivity disorders with reduced pain awareness (such as metabolic
disturbances)
• Medical treatments carried out simultaneously
• Complaints arising as a result of the stimulation treatment
• Constant skin irritation as a result of prolonged stimulation at the same
electrode point.
IMPORTANT!
Use the Digital TENS/EMS solely:
• On humans
• For the purpose for which it was developed and in the manner specified in
these instructions for use. Any improper use can be hazardous.
• For external application.
• With the original accessory parts which are supplied and can be re-ordered,
otherwise the warranty becomes null and void.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, flush out the
affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on batteries.
Store the batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery com-
partment with a dry cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period, take the batteries out of the
battery compartment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not disassemble, split or crush the batteries.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:

• Always remove the electrodes from the skin with a moderate pull in order
to avoid injury in the event of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the machine away from heat sources and never use it near (~1 m)
short-wave or microwave equipment (e.g. mobile phones), as this may
lead to unpleasant current spikes.
• Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the machine from dust, dirt and humidity. Never submerge the
device in water or other liquids.
• The machine is suitable for private use.
• For reasons of hygiene, the electrodes should only be used on one person.
• If the machine is not functioning properly, or if you start feeling unwell or
there is any pain, stop the application immediately.
• To remove or move the electrodes, first switch off the machine or the ap-
propriate channel in order to avoid unwanted irritation.
• Never modify any electrodes (e.g. by cutting). This leads to a higher current
density and can be dangerous (max. recommended output value for
electrodes: 9 mA/cm , an effective current density over 2 mA/cm² requires
2
greater attention).
• Do not use when asleep, when driving a vehicle or at the same time as
operating machinery.
• Never use with any activities where an unforeseen reaction (e.g. increased
muscle contraction despite low intensity) may be dangerous.
• Make sure that no metallic objects such as belt buckles or necklaces can
come in contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you wear any
jewellery or piercings (e.g. belly piercing) near the application site, you
must remove these before using the machine as burning may otherwise
occur at some points.
• Keep the device away from children to prevent any hazards.
• Do not confuse the electrode cables and contacts with your headphones
or other devices, and do not connect the electrodes to other devices.
