4 PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES
•
Inspect the equipment prior to use.
•
Use the stimulator only as stated in the operating instructions.
•
Only Enraf-Nonius accessories should be used with the stimulator
•
Never use the Tensmed S84 on patients who have sensitivity problems or are unable to
let you know if they feel any discomfort, however slight
WARNING!
•
People with implanted electronic equipment, such as pacemakers and intracardiac
defibrillators, must not be treated with the TensMed S84.
•
Pregnant women should not be treated with the TensMed S84 during the first trimester (12
weeks).
•
Due to the location of the carotid arteries and the carotid bodies, do not stimulate the front or
sides of the neck, since a drop in blood pressure can occur.
•
Stimulation should not take place while the user is connected to high-frequency surgical
equipment. It may cause burn injuries on the skin under the electrodes, as well as problems
with the stimulator.
•
Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave therapy equipment, since
this may affect the output power of the stimulator.
•
Keep the stimulator out of reach of children.
•
Never connect the stimulation cables to an external power source due to risk of electrical
shock.
CAUTION
•
Stimulate with precaution while treating angina pectoris and the thoracic region on patients
with cardiac arrhythmia.

The electrodes are only to be placed on healthy skin. Avoid skin irritation by ensuring that
good contact is achieved between electrodes and skin.
