Beurer EM 29 - Handling and Usage Precautions; Electrode Safety and Health Warnings

4 5
• Do not move the cu or put it on if the control unit is swit-
ched on.
• Only connect the connection cable for the electrode plug
to the intended control unit and the universal cu that is
included.
• Do not pull on the connection cables during treatment.
• Do not bend or pull on the end of the connection cable.
• Do not wear any electronic devices, such as watches, whi-
le using the device.
Precautions
Warning
• During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting
or lying down to minimise the risk of injuries as a result of
isolated cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If
you feel faint, switch o the device immediately, lie down
and support the legs in an elevated position (approx. 5 –
10 min).
• The treatment should be comfortable. If the device does
not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience pain,
stop using it immediately.
• Only remove the cu once the device has been switched
o.
• Do not use the device near (~ 1m) shortwave or microwa-
ve devices (such as mobile phones) as these may cause
fluctuations in the output values of the device.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances,
gases or explosives.
Notes on the electrodes
Important
• The electrodes must not be attached to open areas of
skin.
• Max. recommended output value for electrodes is 5 mA/
cm
2
.
• Eective current densities over 2 mA/cm
2
require increa-
sed attentiveness from the user.
Warning
To avoid damage to health, we strongly advise against
using the device in the following situations:
• Do not use the device if you have a pacemaker
or other implants, such as an insulin pump or
metal implants.
• If you have a high temperature (e.g. > 39 °C).
• If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia (arrhyth-
mia), or disorders of the heart’s impulse and conduction
system.
• If you suer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy).
• If you are pregnant.
• If you have cancer.
• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could af-
fect the healing process.
