Precautions
1. Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following
long-term application.
2. Effectiveness is dependent upon patient selection.
3. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical
stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by use
of an alternate conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
This therapy must be used cautiously in the presence of any of the following conditions:
• When there is a tendency to hemorrhage following acute trauma or fracture.
• Over the menstruating uterus.
• Where sensory nerve damage is present or in any case where there is a loss of normal
skin sensation; this includes areas desensitized by medication.
• Do not use in general area where high-powered, high-frequency transmitting surgical
units are being operated. Short wave diathermy should not be turned on or used at the
same time as this Dynatron device.
• Do not use the same power outlet or line with a whirlpool and certain traction machines.
In areas which are carpeted and static electricity is present, it may be necessary to use a
conductive mat to remove any static charge from the operator.
Adverse Reactions
Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes may occur with microcurrent treatment.
NOTE: When using microcurrent frequencies and intensities, it is extremely unlikely that a
burn may occur. However, this possibility exists under certain circumstances; for example, if
a high current setting is combined with poor electrode quality and/or high current density
(small current delivery area). Monitor the patient’s comfort throughout the treatment and
change treatment settings if the patient finds the treatment intolerable.
