Safety Warning

Caution, consult accompanying documents

Contraindications:

w Do not use this device on persons who have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted
defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or electronic device because this may cause
electric shock, burns, electrical interference or death.
w Do not use this device on persons whose pain syndromes are undiagnosed.

Warnings:

w WARNING: Use carefully. May cause serious burns. Do not use over sensitive skin
areas or in the presence of poor circulation. The unattended use of this device by
children or incapacitated persons may be dangerous. To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock and fire this device must be used in accordance with the instructions.
w Do not crush the device or its electrode, and avoid sharp folds.
w Carefully examine the device and its electrodes, do not use if they show any sign of
deterioration.
w Do not tamper with this device and its electrodes in any way. There are no user
serviceable parts. If for any reason they do not function satisfactorily, return to the
authorized service dealer where purchased from.
w The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
w Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in persons
with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex. Carotid sinus is located on both sides
of the neck (Refer to Page 20 for details).
w Stimulation should not be applied over the front of neck or mouth. Severe spasm of
the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong
enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing. Stimulation over the neck
can also cause adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
w Do not apply stimulation across the patient's chest because the introduction of
electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to the patient's heart,
which could be lethal.
w Since the effects 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 head.
w Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas or skin
eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
