the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a
protective mechanism.
4) Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection

unknown, stimulation should not be applied across your
head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite

6) The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy
has not been established.
7) You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity
due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive
medium (gel). If this occurs please discontinue use.
8) If you have a suspected or diagnosed heart disease or
epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended
by your physician.
9) Caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, e.g.
following an injury or fracture. Seek medical advice
before using this unit.
10) Consult with your physician prior to the use of the
device after a recent surgical procedure, because
stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
11) Proceed with caution if stimulation is intended to be
applied over the menstruating uterus.
12) Instructions for use in this manual should be followed
fully. Improper use may be dangerous.
13) Rare cases of skin irritation may occur at the site
of the electrode placement following long-term
