5. DO NOT apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring
equipment (e. g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), which may not
operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use;
6. DO NOT apply stimulation when the patient is in the bath or shower;
7. DO NOT apply stimulation while the patient is sleeping; and
8. DO NOT apply stimulation while the patient is driving, operating
machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can
put the patient at risk of injury.
9. Consult with the patient’s physician before using this device,
because the device may cause lethal rhythm disturbances to the
heart in susceptible individuals; and
10. Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
11. This device should not be used for symptomatic local pain
relief unless etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome
has been diagnosed. Patients with arterial or venous thrombosis
or thrombophlebitis are at risk of developing embolisms when
electrical stimulation is applied over or adjacent to the vessels
containing the thrombus. If a patient has a history of deep vein
thrombosis, even many years past, the aected area should not be
stimulated .
12. Fresh fractures should not be stimulated in order to avoid
unwanted motion.
13. Stimulation should not be applied immediately following trauma or
to tissues susceptible to hemorrhage.
14. DO NOT apply electrodes directly over the eyes or inside body
cavities .
15. DO NOT use electrical stimulation in conjunction with high
frequency surgical equipment or microwave or shortwave therapy
systems.
16. Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes in contact
with each other could result in improper stimulation or skin burn s .
17. Since the eects of stimulation of the brain are unknown,
stimulation should not be applied across the head, and electrodes
should not be placed on opposite sides of the head.
