CefarCompex Physio 5 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 4

• Only use stimulation cables,
ENG
rechargeable battery units and charger
supplied by CefarCompex.
• Always turn off the stimulator or
make sure that the intensity for each
channel is 0 before disconnecting
cables from stimulator or electrodes.
• Never connect the stimulation cables
to an external power source due to risk
of electric shock.
• Do not use the Physio5 stimulator or
charger if any of the elements are
damaged (case, cables, etc.) or if the
battery compartment is open. There is
a risk of electric shock.
• Unplug the charger immediately if your
Physio5 emits a continuous beeping
sound or if you notice any abnormal
heat, smell, or smoke from either the
charger or the stimulator.
•
Never recharge the battery in a
confined space (carrying case, etc.)
as this could cause a fire or electric
shock.
• Keep the Physio5 and its accessories
out of the reach of children.
• Keep the stimulator, battery
compartment and charger clean.
• Do not allow any foreign bodies (soil,
water, metal, etc.) to penetrate the
Physio5, the battery compartment and
the charger.
• Sudden temperature changes can
cause condensation to build up inside
the stimulator. To prevent this, allow it
to reach ambient temperature
before use.
• Do not use your Physio5 while driving
or operating machinery.
• Do not apply stimulation while
sleeping;
• The long-term effects of electrical
stimulation are unknown;
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and,
as such, suppresses the sensation
of pain that would otherwise serve
as a protective mechanism. TENS
programmes have no curative value.
Precautions when using the electrodes
and the motor point pen:
• Do not attempt to place electrodes
3
on any part of the body not directly
visible without assistance.
• Only use electrodes and pen supplied
by CefarCompex. Other electrodes and
pens may have electrical properties
that are incompatible with the
Physio5 stimulator.
• Only place electrodes on healthy skin
and never on skin lesions of any kind
(wounds, swelling, burns, irritation,
eczema, etc.).
• Always turn off the stimulator or
make sure that the intensity for
each channel is 0 before moving or
removing the electrodes.
• Do not place the electrodes or the pen
in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the
electrodes or pen.
• Do not use other electrodes than those
provided by CefarCompex as there will
be a risk of suffering a burn injury.
Caution should always be exercised
with current densities > 2mA/cm2.
• For optimal results, wash, clean and
dry the skin before attaching
the electrodes.
• Attach the electrodes so the entire
surface is in contact with the skin.
• For hygiene reasons, each patient must
have his own set of electrodes. Never
use the same electrodes on
different patients.
• Some people with very sensitive
skin may experience redness under
the electrodes after a session. This
redness is generally harmless and
normally disappears within 10 to
20 minutes. Do not start another
stimulation session in the same area, as
long as the redness is still visible.
• When the electrodes loose their
adhesiveness and do not stick properly
to the skin, the stimulation can
feel unpleasant. Be sure that the
electrodes are in good condition,
otherwise they have to be replaced.
• Never use a set of adhesive electrodes
for more than 15 sessions as their
bonding power deteriorates over time
and optimal contact is very important
for both user comfort and efficacy.
• Clean and disinfect the tip of the
motor point pen that comes in contact
with the skin before each use.
