2)Designate an administrator responsible for the unit, and do not allow anyone
other than trained personnel to operate the unit.
3)Obtain a full understanding of the patient's diagnosis and prescriptions, and
determine whether there are any special notes or instructions to be taken into
account.
4)Explain the “Treatment Procedure” to the patient and instruct him or her to
“inform you immediately if the patient feels any acute pain or pressure due to
massage or stimulation.”
5)Set the output of the unit to an intensity such that the patient can be treated
comfortably.
6)Some patients under anesthetic are unable to fully comprehend the indicated
amount of treatment. Consequently, the operator of the unit may set an
inappropriate treatment current, with excessive stimulation sometimes applied
as a result. Therefore, ask the patient how he or she feels not only
immediately after the treatment, but during it as well.
7)In addition, instruct the patient to inform you if he or she feels anything
unusual in the stimulation received during the treatment. If anything unusual is
felt, suspend the treatment or take other appropriate action.
8)Continuously monitor both the patient and the unit for any signs of
abnormality. Should an abnormality occur, turn the unit off, check the status of
the patient and take whatever action is necessary.
9)Caution the patient against operating the unit.
10)Never operate the unit with wet hands to avoid an electric shock.
11)Never insert metallic foreign substance into any output ports. This may cause
on electric shock or malfunction of the unit.
12)Avoid operating the unit for more than 60 consecutive minutes or in any
manner other than that specified in the Operation Manual. Otherwise, an
accident may result.
