• 

Do not use the stimulator on children.

• 

Do not use PowerDot PD-01M if you are 

connected to a highfrequency surgical 

instrument as this could cause skin 

irritations or burns under the electrodes.

• 

Do not use PowerDot PD-01M in areas 

where unprotected devices are used to 

emit electromagnetic radiation. Portable 

communications equipment, RFID and 

electromagnetic security systems (e.g. 

metal detectors and EAS) can interfere 

with PowerDot and alter the current 

generated by it.

Some RF emitters, such as 
RFID systems, might not 
be visible to you. If you 
experience unexpected 
change in stimulation 
intensities, please 
terminate stimulation 
immediately, as advised 
in section. Terminating 
Stimulation” of this User 
Manual

• 

Do not use PowerDot PD-01M in the close 

proximity of medical devices such as 

MRI, CT, diathermy, X-Ray as those could 

alter the current generated by PowerDot 

stimulator, cause tissue damage, and can 

result in severe injury or death. If you 

have any doubts when using PowerDot 

stimulator in close proximity to another 

medical device, please contact the 

device manufacturer or your doctor.

PowerDot PD-01M is MR 
unsafe device. Never use 
your PowerDot near on in 
the MRI scanner (magnet) 
room.

  PAD PLACEMENT  

      PRECAUTIONS

NEVER attach electrode pads:

• 

Near or to your head since the effects of 

stimulation of the brain are unknown.

• 

On the front and sides of the neck 

because this could cause severe muscle 

spasms resulting in closure of your airway, 

difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects 

on heart rhythm or blood pressure.

• 

Across your chest because the 

introduction of electrical current into the 

chest may cause rhythm disturbances to 

your heart, which could be lethal.

• 

To your front torso (i.e. chest or abs) and 

back torso (i.e. upper back, lower back) 

simultaneously.

• 

Over painful areas. If you have painful 

areas, you should consult with your 

physician before using this device.

• 

Over open wounds or rashes, or over 

swollen, red, infected, or inflamed 

areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, 

thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).

• 

Over, or in proximity to, cancerous 

lesions.

  PAD USAGE PRECAUTIONS

• 

Only use electrode pads supplied by 

PowerDot Inc. Other electrodes may 

cause potential allergic reactions due 

poor biocompatibility, or have electrical 

properties that are unsuitable for the 

PowerDot PD-01M.

• 

Replacement PowerDot electrodes can 

be obtained from PowerDot official 

distributors, authorized resellers and/or 

from PowerDot Online Store  

(http://powerdot.com).

• 

Do not immerse the pads in water.

• 

Do not apply solvents of any kind to the 

pads.

• 

Do not attempt to place pads on any part 

of the body which is not directly visible 

without assistance.

• 

For best results, wash and clean the skin 

of any oil and dry it before attaching the 

pads.

• 

When attaching the pads, please ensure 

that the entire surface is in contact with 

the skin.

• 

For hygienic reasons, each user must 

have his/her own set of pads. Do not use 

the same pads on different people.

• 

Never use a set of adhesive pads for more 

than 30 stimulation sessions as their 

bonding power deteriorates overtime 

and optimal contact is very important 

for both user comfort and stimulation 

efficacy.

• 

Use caution if stimulation is applied over 

areas of skin that lack normal sensation.

• 

Use caution if you have a tendency to 

bleed internally, such as following an 

injury or fracture.

  ADVERSE REACTIONS

• 

Some people with very sensitive skin may 

experience redness under the pads after 

the stimulation session. Avoid starting a 

stimulation session on the same area until 

the redness is no longer visible. If redness 

persists, stop treatment in the area and 

consult the physician.

• 

You may experience headache and other 

painful sensations during or following the 

application of electrical stimulation near 

your eyes and to your head and face.

You should stop using PowerDot and 
consult with your physician if you 
experience adverse reactions from the 
device.
