Beurer FM 250 Vital Legs Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 24

Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the following applies to you:
• If you have an acute medical condition, in particular if you suspect or have been di-
agnosed with high blood pressure, a blood coagulation disorder, propensity to throm-
bo-embolic conditions or in the case of malignant neoplasms
• If you have any skin conditions
• If you have unexplained chronic pain in any part of the body.
• Diabetes
• If you have any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling of pain (e.g. metabolic
disorders)
• If you are receiving medical treatment
• In the event of complaints linked to the stimulation treatment
• If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term stimulation at the same
electrode site.
WARNING
• Hold the device away from sources of heat and do not use it in close proximity (approx.
1 m) to shortwave or microwave devices (e.g. mobile phones), as doing so can result
in unpleasant current peaks.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience pain, stop using
it immediately.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• Switch off the device or the respective channel first before removing or relocating the
electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
• Do not modify the device.
• Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them). This increases the current density,
which is potentially hazardous (max. recommended output value for the electrodes is
9 mA/cm², an effective current density beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased awareness).
• Do not use the device whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
• Do not use any sharp objects such as the tip of a pencil or a ballpoint pen to operate
the buttons.
• Do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of other electronic devices or between
other electronic devices. If this cannot be avoided, before using the device you must
check that it functions correctly in the intended location.
• This device is subject to special precautionary measures with regard to EMC and must
be installed and commissioned in accordance with these.
• The device has been thoroughly tested and checked to guarantee that it performs and
functions correctly.
• Do not use any other high-frequency communication devices or RFID systems in the
vicinity of the device.
• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity where an unexpected reaction (e.g. strong
muscle contractions even at low intensity) could be dangerous.
• Ensure that no metallic objects can come into contact with the electrode surfaces during
stimulation. If you are wearing jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated, these
must be removed before using the device. Failure to do so could result in spot burns.
• Keep the device away from children to prevent potential risks.
