Current Stimulators
Safety Information
Stimulator
WARNING When operating the current stimulators, be careful not to expose patients to
high currents. Before connecting or disconnecting the stimulation electrode, always “reset”
the stimulator.
WARNING Simultaneous connection of a patient to HF surgical equipment may result in
burns at the site of the electrical stimulation, or recording electrodes and possible damage to
the electrical stimulator, or the electrode input amplifiers. Operation in close proximity (e.g.
1m) to short wave, or microwave therapy equipment may produce instability in the electrical
stimulator output.
WARNING Dangerous physiological effects! The current stimulator may give off
dangerous currents and voltage.
CAUTION Avoid electrical stimulation for an extended period of time.
Stimulation Electrodes
WARNING When using needle electrodes for recording or stimulation, either use pre-
sterilized single-use needle electrodes, or thoroughly sterilize multi-use needle electrodes.
NOTE For cleaning multi-use surface electrodes, refer to their accompanying instructions for
use.
CAUTION Avoid accidental contact between connected, but unapplied electrodes and
other conductive parts - including those connected to protective earth.
