Contraindications, Warnings, & Precautions
for Microcurrent Treatment
Indications for Use
This device is used to provide symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain.
Contraindications
The following treatment conditions are specifically contraindicated and must be excluded:
1. Any electrode placement that applies current to the carotid sinus (neck) region.
2. Any use of TENS on patients who have a demand-type cardiac pacemaker.
3. Any electrode placement that causes current to flow transcerebrally (through the head).
4. The use of TENS whenever pain syndromes are undiagnosed, until etiology is
established.
Warnings
1. The safety of TENS devices for use during pregnancy or delivery has not been
established.
2. TENS is not effective for pain of central origin. (This includes headache.)
3. TENS devices should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician.
4. TENS devices have no curative value.
5. TENS is a symptomatic treatment and as such suppresses the sensation of pain which
would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.

operate properly when TENS stimulation is in use.
7. This device should be kept out of the reach of children.
