Caution
should be observed when
using the
perfect TENS
at high
strength settings. Prolonged use at high
settings may cause muscle injury or
tissue inflammation. The
perfect TENS
is capable of delivering outputs in
excess of 10 mA (RMS) or 10 V
averaged over any period of 1 sec. This
is indicated by the yellow LED light on
the output socket.
DO NOT PLACE ELECTRODE PADS:
•
On skin, which does not have normal
sensation.
If the skin is numb too
great a strength may be used, which
could result in skin inflammation.
•
On broken skin.
The electrode pads
could encourage infection.
•
On the front of the neck.
This could
cause the airway to close, giving
breathing problems. May cause
sudden drop in blood pressure
(vasovagal response).
•
Over the eyes.
May affect eyesight
or cause headaches.
•
Across the front of the head.
Effect
on patients who have had strokes or
seizures is not known. May affect
your sense of balance. The effects of
stimulation on the brain are
unknown.
ELECTRODE PADS CAUTION:
Caution:
Do not ignore any allergic
reaction to the electrode pads:
If a skin
irritation develops, stop using TENS, as
this type of electrodes may not
be suitable for you. Alternative
electrode pads specially made for
sensitive skin are available (see
E-696-
SS
).
Caution:
Do not use this device with
leads or electrode pads other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer.
Performance may vary
from specification. Electrodes with
smaller surface area may cause tissue
irritation.
Caution:
Do not use high intensity
settings if electrodes are smaller than
50x50mm.
Note:
Electrode pads supplied
have no measurable latex
content.
TO KEEP YOUR DEVICE IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL
CAUTIONS:
Caution:
Do not immerse your device

Keep the device away from
lint and dust, as long-term exposure to
lint or dust may affect the sockets or
cause the battery connector to develop
a bad contact.
Caution:
Temperature & Relative
Humidity of storage: -25°C to +70°C, 0
to 93% R.H. Temperature & Relative
Humidity of transportation: -2°C to
+70°C, 0% to 93% R.H.
Caution:
There are no serviceable user
parts.
Do not attempt to open or modify
the TENS unit.
This may affect the safe
operation of the unit and will invalidate
the warranty.
