• On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin, (e.g.
inflamed skin – whether painful or not – reddened skin, rashes
(e.g. allergies), burns, bruises, swellings – both open and healing
wounds – and post-operative scars where the healing process
could be affected)
• In humid environments (e.g. in the bathroom) or when bathing or
showering
• Do not use after consuming alcohol
• Do not use if connected to a high-frequency surgical device.
• In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract.
• Stimulation should not be carried out around or on the head, di-
rectly over the eyes, on the mouth, the throat (the carotid artery
in particular) or using electrodes placed on the chest, the upper
back or over the heart.
Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the follow-
ing apply to you:
• If you have an acute medical condition, in particular if you sus-
pect or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, a blood
coagulation disorder, propensity to thrombo-embolic conditions
or in the case of malignant neoplasms
• If you have any skin conditions
• If you have diabetes
• If you have any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling of
pain (e.g. metabolic disorders)
• In the event of complaints linked to the stimulation treatment
• If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term stim-
ulation at the same electrode site
IMPORTANT!
The EM 95 must only be used:
• On humans
• For the purpose for which it was developed and as specified in
these instructions for use. Any improper use can be dangerous
• For external application
• With the original accessories supplied, which can be re-ordered.
Failure to do so invalidates the warranty
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always pull gently on electrodes to remove them from the skin to
prevent injuries in the unusual case of highly sensitive skin.
• Hold the device away from sources of heat and do not use it in
close proximity (approx. 1 m) to shortwave or microwave devices,
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.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes may only be used on one
person.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experi-
ence pain, stop using it immediately.
• Switch off the device or the respective channel first before remov-
ing or moving the electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
• Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them). This increases
the current density, which is potentially hazardous (max. recom-
mended output value for the electrodes is 9 mA/cm², an effective
current density beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased awareness).
• Do not use whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating machin-
ery.
• 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 to prevent potential risks.
• 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.
