Safety instructions
Important safety
The XTR2 is only to be used for stimulation purposes on one patient at any one time.
Only use the XTR2 with original accessories. The size of the electrodes should to be not less
than 2 cm².The electrodes should be positioned in such ways that the current flow will not cross
through the heart.
Keep the XTR2 away from water or other liquids. Do not drop the XTR2, do not use it
inappropriately or expose it to extreme temperatures or high levels of humidity (not less than
10°C or more than 40°C or a relative humidity of more than 90 %).
Do not use the XTR2 if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged in any way.
Be careful when using the XTR2 near or on children. Keep the unit away from children.
Always store the XTR2 in its case to protect it from damage and dust.
To avoid reciprocal interference, the XTR2 should not be operated in the vicinity of other
electronic devices. If this is not possible, the various unit functions should be closely monitored
during operation so that proper use in accordance with the regulations is ensured. The
simultaneous connection to the patient of a high frequency surgical unit can lead to burning under
the electrodes or around the probe. Operating close (for example 1m) to short wave and
microwave units or mobile telephone systems can cause fluctuations in the output values of the
electric current stimulation unit.
Do not use the machine during the simultaneous operation of other machines, when driving or
when asleep.
Contra-indication
Please check with your physician before using the XTR2 if one of these applies to you:
•
Patients with electronic implants such as heart pacemakers, defibrillators or pumps
•
Patients with cardiac rhythm disorders
•
During
pregnancy
•
Patients subject to seizure disorder / epilepsy
•
Patients with skin disorders in the vicinity of the electrodes
•
Patients with malignant diseases in the region of application
Side effects
•
Pain caused by the stimulation: The stimulation can be perceived as uncomfortable/painful if
the electric current is too intensive or if the electrodes have been positioned unfavorably.
Unpleasant side effects can be avoided by adjusting the intensity, using another program with
other parameters and the possible re-positioning of the electrodes.
•
Skin intolerance which can result from the electrodes, the electrode gel or the electric current
impulses. The physician should be consulted in cases of reddening, burning, itching or
blistering under the electrodes or in the vicinity of the electrodes. Slight skin reddening of
short duration in the area of the electrodes following stimulation is quite normal because
blood circulation has been improved by the effects of the stimulation.
•
Muscular pain: If the stimulation has been too intense or too long muscular aches in terms of
sore muscle can occur. Shorten the treatment time and the intensity of stimulation at the
beginning of muscle stimulation to avoid muscle ache.
