skin.
• On rashes (e.g. allergies), burns, bruises, swellings, as well
as open and healing wounds.
• On surgical scars that are still healing.
• If you are connected to a high-frequency surgical device.
This may lead to burns under the electrical muscle stimu-
lation areas.
• Under the influence of pain-relieving medication, alcohol
or sleeping tablets.
• While undertaking any activity where an unexpected reac-
tion (e.g. strong muscle contractions even at low intensity)
could be dangerous, e.g. while driving or operating/driving
machinery.
• On a sleeping person.
• Do not use this device while using other devices that
transmit electrical impulses into your body.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• For hygiene reasons, the cu may only be used on one
person.
• Ensure that no metallic objects come into contact with the
electrodes during stimulation. Failure to do so could result
in spot burns.

testinal tract.
• In the case of metallic implants.
• If you use an insulin pump.
• In areas with high humidity such as in the bathroom or
when bathing or showering.
The device must not be used:
• In the head area: this can trigger seizures.
• In the neck/carotid artery area: this can cause a cardiac
arrest.
• In the throat and larynx area: this can trigger muscular
cramps, which may cause suocation.
• In the ribcage area: this can increase the risk of ventricular
fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
Consult your GP before use:

suspect or have been diagnosed with a blood coagulation
disorder, propensity to thromboembolic conditions or re-
current malignant growths.

• If you suer from persistently irritated skin under the elec-
trodes.
