ELECTROTHERAPY INDICATIONS (CONTINUED)
ADVERSE EFFECTS
• Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes
have been reported with the use of powered muscle
stimulators. The irritation can usually be reduced by
using an alternative conductive medium or an alternative
electrode placement
• Potential adverse effects with TENS are skin irritation and
electrode burns
Note: Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes can be reduced
or avoided by using appropriate electrode size and ensuring optimal
contact quality.
Some people, with very sensitive skin, may experience redness
under the electrodes after a session. Generally, this redness is totally
harmless and usually disappears after 10 to 20 minutes. However, do
not start another stimulation session on the same area if the redness is
still visible.
ULTRASOUND INDICATIONS
INDICATIONS
• Musculoskeletal conditions; facilitating pain relief to the
affected area
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Do not use for symptomatic local pain relief unless
etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome has
been diagnosed.
• Do not use when cancerous lesions are present in the
treatment area.
• Do not use when patient is suspected or known to have
infectious disease and/or disease where it is advisable, for
general medical purposes, to suppress heat or fevers.
• Do not use over or near bone growth centers until bone
growth is complete.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
• Do not use over the thoracic area if the patient is using a
cardiac pacemaker.
• Do not use over a healing fracture.
• Do not use over or applied to the eye.
• Do not use over a pregnant uterus.
• Tissue necrosis might result if the device is used on
ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular disease,
where the blood supply would not keep up with the
metabolic demand.
• Do not use Intelect® Transport 2 on patients who have or
have had implantable neurostimulating cardiac demand
pacemakers, ICD, or other implantable electronic devices.
• Do not use Intelect® Transport 2 on patients with body
worn electro mechanical medical devices, i.e. insulin pump.
• Do not use this system in an MRI or CT environment. The
Intelect® Transport 2, its components, and accessories are
not to be present in an MRI or CT environment.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Additional precautions should be used when ultrasound is used
on patients with the following conditions:
• Over an area of the spinal cord following a laminectomy,
i.e., when major covering tissues have been removed
• Over anesthetized areas
• On patients with hemorrhagic diatheses
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Stinging sensation and temporary local sensitivity have
been reported during or following ultrasound therapy.
