PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Unequal Electrode Size – Use precaution and follow
clinician instructions when using dierent size electrodes
together. Improper use can cause skin irritation or
increased stimulation intensity under the smaller electrode.
Prescription – Use electrical stimulation only in the
prescribed manner and for the prescribed diagnosis. If
there are any changes in the existing condition, or if a new
condition develops, the patient should consult a physician.
Eectiveness – Eectiveness is highly dependent
upon patient selection by a clinician qualified in the
management of pain or rehabilitation.
Keep Out Of Reach Of Children – Keep this device out of
the reach of children. If the patient is a child, make sure the
child is properly supervised during electrical stimulation.
Leads and Electrodes – Use the device with only the leads
and electrodes provided for use by the manufacturer. The
safety of other products has not been established, and
their use could result in injury to the patient. Use only the
electrode placements and stimulation settings prescribed
by your practitioner.
Electronic Equipment – Electronic monitoring equipment
(such as ECG and ECG alarms) may not operate properly
when electrical stimulation is in use.
Microwave or Frequency Sources – Operation in close
proximity, such as feet ( meter), to shortwave or
microwave therapy equipment may produce instability in
the device output and may shut the device o.
Machinery Operation – Patient should never operate
potentially dangerous machinery such as power saws,
automobiles, etc. during electrical stimulation.
Flammable – Do not use the device in an environment
where flammable or explosive fumes may exist.
External Use – This device is for external use only.
Electromagnetic Energy – Do not operate this device
in an environment where other devices are being used
that intentionally radiates electromagnetic energy
in an unshielded manner. Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment can aect Medical Electrical
Equipment.
Sharp Objects – Do not use sharp objects such as a pencil
point or ballpoint pen to operate the buttons on the
control panel.
Cables and Connectors – Inspect cables and connectors
before each use.
Treatment Outcome – Treatment outcome will be
influenced by the patient’s psychological state and use of
drugs.
Negative Reaction to Stimulation – Patients who react
negatively to the stimulation sensation after an adequate
trial period or who find stimulation intolerable should not
undergo further treatment.
Operation Conditions – This unit should be operated in
temperatures between °F and °F ( °C and
°C), atmospheric pressures between and kPa, and
relative humidity between % and %.
Transportation & Storage Conditions – This unit should
be transported and stored in temperatures between -
°F and °F (- °C and °C), atmospheric pressures
between and kPa and relative humidity between
% and %.
Batteries – Remove the Chattanooga Continuum system
batteries if the unit is to be unused for an extended period
of time, i.e. weeks or more.
Transportation of Batteries – Do not carry batteries in a
pocket, purse or any other place where the terminals could
become short-circuited, e.g. by way of paper clip. Intense
heat could be generated and injury may result.
Using Device While Sleeping – Do not use while sleeping
because the lead wires or the electrodes may become
disconnected.
Heat and Cold Products – The use of heat or cold
producing devices, such as electric heating blankets,
heating pads or ice packs, may impair performance of the
electrode or alter the patient’s circulation/sensitivity and
increase the risk of injury to the patient.
