operation of the device. Stimulation in
the direct vicinity of an implanted device
may affect some models.
Do NOT use during the first three
months of pregnancy. It is not known
whether TENS and EMS may affect
foetal development.
Do NOT use on the abdomen in the
later stages of pregnancy. Stop using
immediately if
unexpected contractions.
WARNINGS:
Do NOT use when driving, operating
machinery, or similar actions needing
muscular control.
pads, damaged leads, or sudden
changes in contact may cause brief
involuntary muscle movements.
Do NOT use to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain. This may delay
diagnosis of a progressive condition.
Do NOT use if you have, in the area
being treated: active or suspected
cancer or undiagnosed pain with a
history of cancer. Stimulation directly
through a confirmed or suspected
malignancy should be avoided as it may
stimulate growth and promote spread of
cancer cells.
Do NOT use optional electrodes on the
front of the neck. Stimulation on the
front of the neck can affect your heart
rate or cause contraction of the throat.
Do NOT use optional electrodes across
the chest. Very strong stimulation
across the chest may cause an extra
heartbeat and/or rhythm disturbances
to your heart, which could be lethal.
Do NOT use Eva while simultaneously
connected to high frequency surgical

Loose electrode
equipment as it may result in burns at
the site of stimulator electrodes and
possible damage to the stimulator
Do NOT use Eva in close proximity
(e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or microwave
as this may produce instability in the
stimulator output.
Do NOT use electrodes near the thorax
as this may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
CAUTIONS:
Caution should be used if you have a
bleeding disorder as stimulation may
increase blood flow to the stimulated
region.
Caution should be used if you have
suspected or diagnosed epilepsy as
electrical stimulation may affect seizure
threshold.
Caution should be observed when
using the device at the same time as
being connected
equipment with body worn electrode
pads. It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
Caution should be used following
recent surgical procedures. Stimulation
may disrupt the healing process.
Caution Simultaneous connection to
high frequency surgical equipment may
result in burns and damage to the
stimulator.
Caution Strong electromagnetic fields
(electro-surgery/ microwave cookers/
mobile phones) may affect the correct
operation of this unit. If it appears to
behave unusually, move it away from
these devices.
