Important - Beurer EM 59 Heat Instrucciones De Uso

• If you have any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling
of pain (e.g. metabolic disorders)
• If you are receiving medical treatment
• In the event of complaints linked to stimulation treatment
• If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term
stimulation at the same electrode site

IMPORTANT

Only use digital EMS/TENS units:
• On people
• For the purpose for which it was developed and as specified in
these instructions for use. Any improper use can be dangerous
• For external use
• With the original accessories supplied, which can be re-ordered.
Failure to do so invalidates the warranty.
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always pull firmly on electrodes to remove them from the skin to
prevent injuries in the unusual case of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat (heating devices such
as driers or ovens) and do not use it in close proximity (approx. 1
m) to shortwave or microwave devices (e.g. mobile phones), as
doing so can result in unpleasant current peaks.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes may only be used on one
person.
• If the device does not work properly, or if you feel unwell or
experience pain, stop using it immediately.
• Switch off the unit or the respective channel first before removing
or relocating electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
• Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them), as this increases
the current density, which is potentially hazardous (max.
recommended output value for the electrodes is 9 mA/cm², an
effective current density beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased
awareness).
• Do not use the device whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating
machinery.
• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity where an unexpected
reaction (e.g. strong muscle contractions even at low intensity)
could be dangerous.
• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt buckles or necklaces)
come into contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you
are wearing jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated
(e.g. a navel piercing), these must be removed before using the
device. Failure to do so could result in spot burns.
• Keep the device away from children.
• Make sure not to confuse the electrode cables including contacts
with your headphones or other devices, and do not connect the
electrodes to other devices.
• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit
electrical impulses to your body.
• Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases
or explosives.
• The actual temperature may vary depending on the condition
of your skin, your age, the location of the pain, etc.
• If the heat function feels too hot, stop treatment immediately. You
can continue the TENS, EMS or massage treatment without the
heat function.
• During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or
lying down to minimise the risk of injury resulting from isolated
cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If you feel faint,
immediately switch off the device, lie down and support your legs
in an elevated position (approx. 5 –10 min.).
• Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments
beforehand is not recommended as this considerably increases
the gel pad wear and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
