- Patient experiences skin irritation due to electrical stimulation or the electrical conductive
medium used, remove the electrodes, discontinue stimulation, and consult the clinician. Irritation
may be reduced by an alternative conductive medium or an alternative electrode placement.
Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following long term
application.
• Place electrodes in accordance with illustrations in the User Manual.
• This unit should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any activity in which
involuntary muscle contractions may place the user at undue risk of injury.
• Some users may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or
the conductive medium.
• Keep this device out of the reach of children. If the patient is a child, make sure he/she is
properly supervised during electrical stimulation.
• Application of moderate heat (thermal wrap) to muscles as well as moistening skin prior to
treatment improves treatment efcacy; use of cold packs on treated muscles after treatment is
likewise recommended.

• An effective session should not cause discomfort.
• For rst time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We recommend that you
begin in a seated position with low stimulation intensity settings to familiarize yourself with the
sensation before progressing to higher intensity settings.
• The leads and pads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not over exert yourself while using muscle stimulation. Any workout should be at a
comfortable level for you.
• Do not place pads over jewelry or body piercings.
