• Pregnant women should not be
treated during the first trimester
(12 weeks).
• Do not use thoracic stimulation on
patients with cardiac arrythmia.
• Avoid lower limb stimulation in case
of venous thrombosis or servere arte-

environments (saunas, hydrotherapy
pools, etc.).
• If pregnant, do not place electrodes
directly over the uterus or connect
pairs of electrodes across the abdo-
men. The reason is that, theoretically,
the current could affect the foetus's
heart (although there are no reports of
it being harmful).
• Observe caution if treating patients
with sensitivity problems or who are
unable to let you know if they feel any
discomfort, however slight.
• Observe caution when stimulating
in the immediate vicinity of cellular
phones that are switched on, since
this may affect the output power of

• Do not use the stimulator or
system on a patient who
is connected to a high-frequency
surgical instrument as this could cause
skin irritation or burns under the
electrodes.
• Do not use the stimulator or
system within one metre
of short wave or microwave devices
as this could alter the currents gener-
ated by the stimulator.
• Only use stimulation cables, recharge-
able battery units and charger sup-
plied by CefarCompex.
• Always turn off the stimulator or make
sure that the intensity for each chan-
nel is 0 before disconnecting cables
from stimulator or electrodes.
• Never connect the stimulation cables
to an external power source due to
risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the MiTheta 600/Theta 500
stimulator, or charger if any of the
elements are damaged (case, cables,
etc.) or if the battery compartment is
open. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Unplug the charger immediately if
your MiTheta 600/Theta 500 emits a
continuous beeping sound or if you
notice any abnormal heat, smell, or
smoke from either the charger or the
stimulator.
• Never recharge the battery in a
confined space (carrying case, etc.)
as this could cause a fire or electric
shock.
• Keep MiTheta 600/Theta 500 and its
accessories out of the reach of chil-
dren.
• Keep the stimulator, battery compart-
ment and charger clean.
• Sudden temperature changes can
cause condensation to build up inside
the stimulator. To prevent this, allow
it to reach ambient temperature
before use.
• Do not use your MiTheta 600/Theta
500 while driving or operating machin-
ery.
