DYNATRON® 25 SERIES™ | OPERATOR’S MANUAL 69
Contraindications,
Warnings, & Precautions
for Interferential, Premodulated, Russian, Biphasic, and High Voltage Pulsed Stimulation.
Contraindications
rombosis. It is possible that the current produces chemical changes in the blood leading to alterations in the clotting time.
At present there is no specic scientic evidence to support this. Nevertheless, treatment must not be given to any patient
who is taking anticoagulants as it may render these ineective. e eect of the current is on the platelets and would tend
to spread any clot with perhaps fatal results in a patient with coronary thrombosis. If a patient has a history of deep vein
thrombosis, even many years past, the treatment may increase rather than decrease swelling.
Implanted Electronic Devices. Patients with Implanted Electronic Devices (for example a cardiac pacemaker) should not
be subjected to stimulation.
Cardiac Conditions. e electrodes should be placed to avoid the stellate ganglion and the heart itself. If there is a potential
for heart problems, the clinician must exercise professional judgment and use adequate precautions. e clinician should not
expose the patient to risk if possible heart problems are suspected.
Bacterial Infections. e eect on bacteria is uncertain, and it is advisable that bacterial infections should not be treated.
Malignancy. e use of Interferential, Premodulated, High Volt, Biphasic, or Russian Stim treatment is contraindicated in
patients with clinically diagnosed cancer.
Warnings
WARNING
oracic applications are contraindicated: Additional warning from the Canadian Health and Welfare Department,
Health Protection Branch. Cardiac brillation may occur if output current is 50 mA RMS or greater for any output circuit.
