sinus) as this may cause adverse effects on heart rate or blood pressure or cause severe muscle
spasms resulting in airway closure, difficulty breathing.
ƒ Do not place the electrodes on either side of the heart. Putting the electrodes near the thorax
may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
ƒ Do not use the neurostimulator for transcranian stimulation (electrodes on either side of the
head), the effects of transcranial stimulation on the brain are unknown.
ƒ Do not place the electrodes directly over the spinal column.
ƒ Do not place the electrodes on a pathological limb (active phlebitis).
ƒ Do not use the neurostimulator when the patient is connected to high frequency surgical
equipment (e.g. an electrical scalpel). The simultaneous use may cause burns under the
electrodes and the neurostimulator may be damaged.
ƒ Never place the electrodes inside body openings; they are designed solely for external
application. Do not apply stimulation directly to the eyeballs or mouth.
ƒ For hygiene reasons, the electrodes must only be used by a single patient.
ƒ Do not attempt to open or modify the

immediate vicinity (e.g. 1 m) of shortwave or microwave devices. The output power of the device
may be affected, which may turn into painful reactions.
ƒ Do not use the neurostimulator and the
equipment (e.g. cardiac monitors, ECG, EEG), as there is a risk they may not work properly whilst
the neurostimulator is being used.

• Do not place the electrodes on damaged or irritated skin, and especially not on an open wound
or in proximity to cancerous lesions. In the event of rash or skin irritation, remove the device.
This rash generally disappears after a few hours. If the irritation persists, consult a healthcare
professional.
• Always place the electrodes on clean dry skin.
• Before removing the electrodes from the skin, stop the session from the app (
pressing the ON/OFF button. If an electrode comes unstuck, switch off the neurostimulator
or put it on pause before touching the electrode. Pulses of current on the fingers from the
neurostimulator are unpleasant but are not, however, dangerous. See section 15 "Stopping a
stimulation session".
