3.2 For which applications is your KOOL
Patch suited, and for which is it not?
► The KOOL Patch is designed exclu-
sively for alleviating pain caused
by stress-induced tension.
► Tension and pain can also be
symptomatic of a serious illness,
which excludes self-treatment with
the KOOL Patch.
Prior to its use, we recommend that you
consult your physician, pharmacist or
physiotherapist.
3.3 When may you not use your KOOL
Patch?
Do not use the KOOL Patch
► if you suffer from cardiac prob-
lems, especially from cardiac dys-
rhythmias. The stimulation current
can lead to ventricular fibrillation
and in the worst case to cardiac
arrest.
► if you have a pacemaker or other
electronic implants. The stimula-
tion current can interfere with the
function of your implant.
► if you suffer from seizures. In se-
vere cases the stimulation current
can trigger convulsions.
► when pregnant. In severe cases
the stimulation current can trigger
contractions.

► if you suffer from allergic skin reac-
tions. The electrodes and patch
can lead to skin irritations.
► if you suffer from systemic illness-
es, i.e. those affecting the entire
body.
► if the KOOL Patch is damaged.
The stimulation current can lead to
aches and skin irritations.

3.4 Other factors you need to consider

► Do not allow children access to
your KOOL Patch.
Children could swallow small
pieces and as a consequence suf-
focate.

Patch tolerate neither wetness nor

running water, do not immerse it
in water or other fluids, and do not

the sauna.
