- Do not use the device if it is closer than 30.5 cm / 12 in to wireless communication equipment,
such as wireless home network routers, cell phones, cordless phones and their base stations,
and walkie‐talkies. The electromagnetic interference of this wireless communication
equipment may prevent the device from operating properly.
- This device is not designed to be used by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory
or mental capabilities are reduced, or persons without experience or knowledge, unless they
have been able to benefit, by the intermediary of a person responsible for their safety, from
supervision or prior instructions concerning use of the device. It is possible that they will not
be able to use it in accordance with the instructions of this user manual and be disturbed by
the treatment.
- Do not modify the device or the electrodes. This could cause a malfunction.
Do not treat the the following parts or areas:
Do not apply stimulation on your chest, the introduction of electric
current on this area can cause heart rhythm disturbances, with a risk of
death.
Its effects on the brain are unknown. Stimulation to the head or on each
side of the skull must be avoided.
Stimulation on the sides of the neck or on the carotid artery can cause
serious adverse effects on your blood pressure or your heart rhythm.
Stimulation on the front of the neck can cause severe muscle spasms that
can block your airways and cause breathing difficulties.
Do not place the electrodes on the inside of body cavities, such as in the
mouth. This device is only designed for external application.
Do not place the electrodes on the genitals. They could stimulate
inappropriate muscles or organs.
- Do not position the electrodes on broken or injured skin, or that which is dirty or unhealthy.
Skin with irritation, sores or other lesions can lead to the injection of too much current on the
area, which can cause burns.
- Do not place the electrodes near cancerous lesions because this may have a negative impact
on these injuries.
- Do not place the electrodes on skin areas on which sensations are not normal. You may burn
yourself due to a lack of perception of the high intensity of the current.
- Do not put the electrodes on areas that are swollen, red, infected or inflamed or on skin rashes
(eg. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins). Stimulation should not be performed on
areas of thrombosis or thrombophlebitis because it can promote the circulation and lead to a
greater risk of embolism.
- Do not put the electrodes on redness or open wounds. Open wounds may lead to applying too
much current on the area, causing burns. They can also further the penetration of substances
from the electrode into the skin.
- Do not make sudden movements during a session. This could cause a dysfunction of the
device.
