Cautions And Precautions - Compex COREBELT 5.0 Bedienungsanleitung

EN
• CHARGING IN A CONFINED SPACE. Do not recharge the device in a confined space (carry case, drawer etc.).
This results in a risk of fire.
• DRIVING OR OPERATING MACHINERY. Do not apply stimulation whilst driving, operating machinery, or any
other activity, during which electrical stimulation or involuntary muscle contraction could cause injury.
• SLEEP. Do not apply stimulation whilst asleep.
• ALTITUDE. Do not use the stimulator at an altitude higher than 3000 meters. This could cause the device to
malfunction.
• ELECTRODE PERSONAL USE. Use of electrode on multiple people can lead to infection.
• DISEASES. If you have suspected or diagnosed cardiopathy, epilepsy, serious arterial circulation disorders,
abdominal or inguinal hernia, cancer, or need to use the product for rehabilitation or physiotherapy, you
must consult your physician prior to use.
• STIMULATION NEAR METAL. Avoid using stimulation near metal; this increases the risk of discomfort and
burns. Remove jewelry, piercings, belt clips or any other removable metal object in the stimulation area.
• OPERATING CONDITIONS. This unit should be operated at +0°C to +40°C and at 15% to 75& of Relative
Humidity. The unit should be stored at -20°C to +45°C and maximum 75% of Relative Humidity. For transport,
temperature can go up to +60°C.
• SERVICE PARTS. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. If a malfunction occurs, discontinue
use immediately and consult dealer for repair service.

CAUTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS

• PREGNANCY. The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy or over the uterus during menstruation
has not been demonstrated.
• VASOVAGAL ATTACK. Always start an initial stimulation session (first electrostimulation experience) when
seated or lying down. In rare situations, very nervous individuals can experience a vasovagal attack, which
consists of a feeling of weakness and can lead to fainting. This is not serious, but should it occur, stimulation
must be stopped, lay down with legs raised, until the feeling of weakness has disappeared (between 5 and
10 minutes).
• LOSS OF SENSATION. Proceed with caution if stimulation is applied to areas of the skin whose level of
sensation is lower than normal. Do not apply stimulation to a person who cannot express themselves.
• LEAKAGE. If there is leak from a component, take steps to ensure the liquid/gas does not come into contact
with skin or eyes. Should this occur, wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor.
• CHILDREN. This device and its accessories must be kept out of the reach of children.
• FOREIGN OBJECTS. Do not let foreign objects (soil, water, metal, etc.) enter the device or battery
compartment.
• HEAT OR COLD GENERATING DEVICES. The use of heat or cold generating devices (e.g. electric blankets,
heating pads or ice packs) can affect the performance of electrodes or alter the circulation/sensitivity of the
user, with an increased risk of injury.
• INTERNAL BLEEDING. Proceed with caution if you are prone to internal bleeding; for example, after an injury
or a fracture.
• POST-SURGERY. Proceed with caution after recent surgery.
• STIMULATION OF HEALTHY SKIN. Only apply stimulation to healthy skin. If this instruction is not followed,
stimulation can worsen disorders caused by lesions or skin diseases of any type.
• INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRODES. See the usage, expiry date and storage instructions displayed on the
bag of electrodes.
• SIZE OF ELECTRODES. Caution should be exercised with current densities more than 2mA/cm2.
