2. 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.
3. Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or
rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed
areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis,
thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).
4. Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to,
cancerous lesions.
5. Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic
monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG
alarms), which may not operate properly when the
electrical stimulation device is in use.
6. Do not apply stimulation when the patient is in the
bath or shower.
7. Do not apply stimulation while the patient is sleeping.
8. Do not apply stimulation while the patient is driving,
operating machinery, or during any activity in which
electrical stimulation can put the patient at risk of
injury.
9. Consult with the patient’s physician before using this
device, because the device may cause lethal rhythm
disturbances to the heart in susceptible individuals.
10. Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean,
healthy skin.
