4 Continuum User’s Manual
Warnings (continued)
Tripping – Care should be used to avoid tripping on lead wires, especially
when the foot switch is utilized.
High Frequency Surgical Devices – Simultaneous connection of a patient
to a high frequency surgical device may result in burns at the site of the
electrodes and possible damage to the device.
Damage From Liquids – Do not immerse the device in water or other
liquids. Water or liquids could cause malfunction of internal components of
the system, causing a risk of injury to the patient.
Electrical Shock – To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the unit from the
power source before attempting any maintenance procedures.
Uncomfortable Stimulation – If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable or
become uncomfortable, reduce the intensity to a comfortable level. Contact
your clinician if the problem persists.
Skin Reactions – On rare occasions, therapy can result in transient skin
reactions such as rash, inflammation, irritation, or burns. These skin reactions
may be the result of individual sensitivity to the condition of the skin at the
onset of treatment, reaction to the materials in the electrodes, or a poor
connection between the electrodes and the patient’s skin. Advise the patient
of this possibility before starting treatment. If a visible skin reaction does
occur, instruct the patient to discontinue the treatment and consult the
prescribing physician or licensed practitioner.
Lead Connection – Do not connect the lead wires to an AC power source
or other equipment not specified as safe for the lead wires. Doing so could
result in severe shock or burns whether or not the lead wires are attached to
the stimulator.
Electromagnetic Compatibility – Care must be taken when operating
this device adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. Potential
electromagnetic or other interference could occur to this or other equipment.
Try to minimize this interference by not using other equipment in
conjunction with it. (i.e. cell phone, etc.). The Empi Continuum should not be
used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and if adjacent or stacked
use is necessary, the Empi Continuum should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
Accessories – Use only accessories that are specifically designed for this
device. Do not use the accessories manufactured by other companies on
this device. Empi is not responsible for any consequence resulting from
using products manufactured by other companies. The use of Accessories,
transducers, or cables other than those specified by the manufacturer, may
result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Empi Continuum.
