2.2 Misuse
Danger in the event of misuse!
– Keep the device out of the reach of children.
– Never apply electrodes to positions other than those
described in this manual.
– Never use the electrical stimulation treatment in the fol-
lowing areas of the body:
– On or through the head
– Directly on the eyes
– In areas around the mouth
– On the front of the neck (especially the carotid artery)
– With electrode surfaces applied to the chest and the
upper back or across the heart
– Over the menstruating or pregnant uterus
– Over areas of the skin with a lack of normal sensation.
– Stimulation must not be applied over the carotid sinus
nerves, particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to
the carotid sinus reflex.
– Stimulation must not be applied over the neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles
may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to
close the airway or cause difficulty breathing.
– Stimulation shall not be applied transthoracically. The intro-
duction of electrical current into the heart may cause car-
diac arrhythmias.
– Stimulation must not be applied transcerebrally.
– Stimulation must not be applied over swollen, infected, or
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombo-
phlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
– Stimulation must not be applied over, or in proximity to,
cancerous lesions.
– Whenever using the device, start with an intensity level of
“0” and increase slowly.
– Ensure basic tension in the muscle group you are exer-
cising for each pulse to prevent uncontrolled muscle con-
tractions.
– In case of skin irritation and signs of burns beneath the
electrodes, stop using the device immediately.
– If you are feeling unwell, dizzy, or have heart pain, stop
using the device immediately.
– Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensi-
tivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conduc-
tive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by alter-
nate electrode placement using an alternate conductive
medium.
– Electrode placement and stimulation settings must follow
guidance of the prescribing practitioner.
– The long-term effects of repeated electrical stimulation are
unknown.
– Only use genuine miha bodytec equipment and spare parts.
