suspected cancer or undiagnosed pain
with a history of cancer. Stimulation
directly through a
suspected malignancy
avoided as it may stimulate growth and
promote spread of cancer cells.

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.
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
