I-Tech SMART TENS Mode D'emploi page 28

 Use of the device is prohibited to persons known to be of unsound mind, or suffering
from sensibility disorders, to permanently or temporarily disabled persons unless
assisted by qualified personnel (e.g. a doctor or therapist).
 Use of the device is prohibited in the presence of signs of deterioration of the device
itself.
Should any foreign materials penetrate the device contact the retailer or manufacturer
immediately. If dropped down, check that the housing is not cracked or damaged in any
way; if so, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
Should you notice any changes in the device's performance during treatment, interrupt
the treatment immediately and consult the retailer or manufacturer (patients being
treated in a centre must also be informed of the event).
 Use of the device is prohibited in combination with other medical devices.
 Use of the device is prohibited close to flammable substances or in environments with
high concentrations of oxygen.
 Consult a doctor before using SMART TENS with metallic osteosynthesis devices.
Muscle heaviness and cramps may be experienced in the event of prolonged muscle
stimulation. Should this occur we recommend to suspende treatment with SMART
TENS for a few days and then to continue with EMS P04 RELAX program.
 It is forbidden to position the electrodes in such a way that the current crosses the heart
area (e.g. a black electrode on the chest and a red electrode on the shoulder blade);
however electrodes can be positioned along the muscular fascia of the heart area, as used
for pectoral strengthening.
 Use of the device is prohibited with electrodes positioned on or close to injuries or cuts.
 The electrodes must not be positioned on the carotid sinuses (carotid) or genitals.
 The electrodes must not be positioned close to the eyes; make sure that the current
delivered does not cross the eyeball (one electrode diametrically opposite to the other
in relation to the eye); keep a distance of at least 3 cm. from the eyeball.
 When using the electrodes, follow the instructions given in this manual and on the
package of the electrodes. Use single-patient electrodes, supplied exclusively by the
manufacturer, and take care to avoid the exchange of electrodes between different
users. SMART TENS has been tested and guaranteed for use with the electrodes
supplied.
 Insufficiently sized electrode sections can cause skin reactions or burns. Only use the
round electrodes supplied by the manufacturer for facial applications.
 Do not use electrodes when damaged, even if they stick to the skin well.
 Electrodes must not be used when they no longer stick to the skin. Repeated use of
the same electrodes can compromise the safety of the stimulation, in fact it can cause
skin redness that can last for many hours after stimulation.
 Warning! During treatment with round and 41x41 mm. electrodes, current density
may be in excess of 2 mA/cm² for each electrode. In these cases take special care
regarding any skin redness.
Warning: device supplies current over 10 mA.
