Precautions (continued)
Negative Reaction to Stimulation – Patients who react negatively to the
stimulation sensation after an adequate trial period or who find stimulation
intolerable should not undergo further treatment.
Operation Conditions – This unit should be operated in temperatures
between 50 °F and 104 °F (10 °C and 40 °C), atmospheric pressures between 50
and 106 kPa, and relative humidity between 30% and 75%.
Transportation & Storage Conditions – This unit should be transported
and stored in temperatures between -40 °F and 158 °F (-40 °C and 70 °C),
atmospheric pressures between 50 and 106 kPa and relative humidity between
10% and 90%.
Batteries – Remove the Empi Continuum system batteries if the unit is to be
unused for an extended period of time, i.e. 2 weeks or more.
Transportation of Batteries – Do not carry batteries in a pocket, purse or any
other place where the terminals could become short-circuited, e.g. by way of
paper clip. Intense heat could be generated and injury may result.
Using Device While Sleeping – Do not use while sleeping because the lead
wires or the electrodes may become disconnected.
Heat and Cold Products – The use of heat or cold producing devices, such as
electric heating blankets, heating pads or ice packs, may impair performance of
the electrode or alter the patient’s circulation/sensitivity and increase the risk of
injury to the patient.
Battery Charger – Only the prescribed Empi battery charger should be used
with the Empi rechargeable batteries. Do not attempt to recharge any battery
other than the rechargeable battery supplied by Empi for this device. Attempts
to charge alkaline or other non-rechargeable batteries could cause the battery
to overheat, burst or be permanently damaged.
Radio Frequency Generation – This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interferences to other devices in the
vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a
particular installation. Harmful interference to other devices can be determined
by turning the unit on and off. Try to correct the interference using one or
more of the following: reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the
separation between the equipment and consult the Empi Service Department
for help.
