User’s hazard and comfort
• Inspect the stimulator and its accessories for integrity before use.
If you detect signs of damage, do not use the stimulator.
• Use only original accessories (electrodes, cables).
• Do not use the stimulator during sleep.
• Do not open the battery compartment while the stimulator is operating.
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture.
• Consult your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure,
because stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
• Always switch o the stimulator before disconnecting any stimulation cables during a session.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a
protective mechanism.
TENS devices have no curative value.
• Use caution if stimulation is carried out over areas of skin that lack normal sensation.
• Attach the electrodes in such a way that their entire surface is in contact with the skin.
Equipment damage
• Remove the batteries from the Direct TENS™ device, if it is not used for a prolonged period of time
(more than approx. 3 months).
• Liquids or foreign matter (soil, metal, etc.) must not enter the stimulator. If liquids have entered the stimulator or if it
was accidentally immersed in liquid, stop using it and return it to DJO for inspection.
