GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Apply stimulation to only normal, intact, clean, dry, and healthy skin.
• TENS is NOT effective in treating the original source or cause of the pain,
including headache.
• TENS is NOT a substitute for pain medications and other
pain management therapies.
• TENS devices DO NOT cure disease or injuries.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation
of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
• Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner
qualied in the management of pain patients.
• You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical
stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow
precautions recommended by your physician.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions
recommended by your physician.
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following
an injury or fracture stop using the device. If any type of shock or burn should
occur, stop using immediately and seek medical attention (if necessary).
• Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical
procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating or pregnant uterus.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack
normal sensation.

pieces that may be swallowed. The electrode cord can cause strangulation.
Immediately contact your physician should any of these things occur.

recommended by the manufacturer.
