• TENS: TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the
sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
• TENS: Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a
practitioner qualified in the management of pain patients.
• Bleeding: Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as
following an injury or fracture.
• Physician Care: Consult with your physician prior to using the device after
a recent surgical procedure, becuase stimulation may disrupt the healing
process.
• Children: Keep this device out of the reach of children.
• Skin Care: Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack
normal sensation.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRODES
• Only use electrodes supplied by DJO, LLC. Other electrodes may have
electrical properties that are unsuitable for the Compex Edge stimulator.
• Do not use electrodes with a surface < 19 cm (2.94 in), as there will be a risk
of suffering a burn injury. Caution should always be exercised with current
densities > 2mA/cm (12.9mA/in).
• Always turn off the stimulator before moving or removing any electrodes
during a session.
• Do not place the electrodes in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.
• For best results, wash and clean the skin of any oil and dry it before attaching
the electrodes.
• Attach the electrodes in such a way that their entire surface is in contact with
the skin.
• For obvious reasons of hygiene,
each user must have his/her own
electrode set. Do not use the same
electrodes on different people.
