For muscle stimulation the following current waveforms are recommended 4.1.3.2,
4.1.3.3, 4.1.3.4, 4.1.3.8, 4.1.3.10
You may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes
applied to your skin;

Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be
applied across your head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of
your head;
The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established;
You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation
or electrical conductive medium (gel);
If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions
recommended by your physician;
If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions recom-
mended by your physician.
Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or
fracture;
Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure,
because stimulation may disrupt the healing process;
Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating or pregnant uterus;
Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack normal sensation;
Keep this device out of the reach of children;
Use this device only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to electrical stimu-
lation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by using
an alternative conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
