ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed
heart problems.
• Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy.
• Use caution in the presence of the following:
» When there is a tendency to hemorrhage
following acute trauma or fracture
» Following recent surgical procedures when
muscle contraction may disrupt the healing
process
» Over a menstruating or pregnant uterus
» Over areas of the skin that lack normal
sensation
• Powered muscle stimulators should be used only
with the lead wires and electrodes recommended for
use by the manufacturer.
• With TENS waveforms, isolated cases of skin irritation
may occur at the site of electrode placement
following long-term application.
• The eective management of pain by TENS
waveforms is highly dependent upon patient

ADVERSE EFFECTS
• Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes
have been reported with the use of powered muscle
stimulators. The irritation can usually be reduced
by using an alternative conductive medium or an
alternative electrode placement
• Potential adverse eects with TENS are skin irritation
and electrode burns
Note: 1. Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes can be
reduced or avoided by using appropriate electrode size and ensuring
optimal contact quality. If any question arises as to the proper
electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner prior to therapy session.
2.Some people, with very sensitive skin, may experience redness
under the electrodes after a session. Generally, this redness is totally
harmless and usually disappears after 10 to 20 minutes. However, do
not start another stimulation session on the same area if the redness
is still visible
