• Electronic surveillance equipment. Do not apply stimulation near electronic surveillance equipment
(e.g. cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), as there is a risk they may not work properly whilst the electrical
stimulation device is being used.
• Electromagnetic radiation. Do not use the stimulator in areas in which unprotected devices are used
to emit electromagnetic radiation. Portablecommunications equipment can interfere with the device.
• Cancer. Do not apply stimulation if you have progressive cancer or near any cancerous tumour.
The increased metabolism, caused by certain modes of stimulation, is likely to encourage cancer cells
to spread
• Muscle shortening. During the muscular contraction phase it is recommended to hold the extremities
of the stimulated limbs to avoid any shortening of the muscle during contraction, which could cause
cramps.
• Contralateral stimulation. Do not use two terminals connected to the same channel on opposite
segments of the body (for example, a positive terminal on the left arm and a negative terminal on the
right arm).
• Loss of sensation. Proceed with caution if stimulation is applied to areas of the skin whose level of
sensation is lower than normal. Do not apply stimulation to a person who cannot express themselves.
• Battery leakage. If there is leak from a component, take steps to ensure the liquid does not come into
contact with skin or eyes. Should this occur, wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor.
• Strangulation. Do not wind cables around the neck. Tangled cables can cause strangulation.
• Postsurgery. Proceed with caution after recent surgery.
• Accessibility of the power adaptor. The plug socket must be close to the power adaptor and be
easily accessible.
• Internal bleeding. Proceed with caution if you are prone to internal bleeding; for example, after an
injury or a fracture.
• The Rehab/Theta/Physio/Wireless Professionalmust only be operated in dry rooms.
• Do not use the Rehab/Theta/Physio/Wireless Professionalin water or in a humid atmosphere (sauna,
bath, shower etc.)
• When connecting the unit to other equipment or when creating a medical system, check that
the sum of leakage currents will not cause any hazard. Please contact DJO GLOBAL if you have
questionsregarding this matter.
• No modification of this equipment is allowed.
• Do not open the product and its accessories as there is risk of electrocution.
• Before cleaning and service interventions, turn the device off.
• Liquids and foreign material (such as dust, metal etc.) must not be allowed to enter the device.
If such material has entered into the units, it must be immediately checked by a service technician,
before it can be reused.
• Electricity supply. Never connect the stimulation cables to an external power supply, as there is a risk
of electrocution
• Do not apply stimulation near the area of an implant, such as cochlear implants, pacemakers, skeletal
anchorage or electric implants. This could cause an electrical shock, burns, electrical interference or
death
