Intelect® Mobile Stim and Combo Therapy Systems
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this
device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of
25 microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and may
be sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current
of this magnitude must not flow through the thorax
because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device
must not be treated with or be in close proximity to
any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy,
therapeutic ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy
anywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy
(shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser) can be
transferred through the implanted neurostimulation
system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in
severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can
occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted
neurostimulation system is turned “off.”
