•
The stimulation and electrodes should not be applied across or through the head,
directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of the neck, especially over
the carotid sinus (upper side of neck), or from electrodes placed on the chest and
the upper back or crossing over the heart. Application of electrodes near the thorax
may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
•
Don’t use microcurrent stimulation on patients who have a demand type
pacemaker. A patient with an implanted electronic device (for example a cardiac
