Electrotherapy
Information and
Usage Cautions
The following general cautions are to be observed during Interferential, Premodulated, Russian, Biphasic, High Voltage, and
Direct Current stimulation. For Microcurrent electrotherapy, see additional cautions in the Microcurrent Section of this manual.
Electrical stimulation, by its very nature, has the ability to irritate the patient’s skin. Certain precautions should be observed
to assure maximum safety and comfort for patients. A patient’s tendency to have adverse reactions is dependent upon several
factors. These factors are:
WARNING
• NEVER turn the power ON or OFF while the unit is connected to the patient.
• Always STOP a treatment before removing or attaching electrodes or leads. Leads and electrodes must
only be applied to the patient before a treatment is started.
• Never use worn or damaged leads or electrodes as these may result in injury to the patient.
• See the Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions for Interferential and Premodulated treatments in
this manual before administering a treatment.
• Additional warning from the Canadian Health and Welfare Department, Health Protection branch:
WARNING: Thoracic applications are contraindicated. Cardiac fibrillation may occur if output current is
50mA RMS or greater for any output circuit. (For use in Canada and Japan, this device is limited to 50mA
output).
