• 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 MIO-CARE 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 MIO-CARE for a few
days and then to continue with muscle recovery and capillarization programs.
Make sure that the plug and battery charger are intact. Should one of these parts show any
sign of damage, suspend use of the battery charger immediately and contact the retailer or
manufacturer.
Only use battery chargers supplied by the manufacturer; the use of battery chargers not
supplied by the manufacturer will free the same from any responsibility related to damage to
the equipment or user, and will expose the user to risks such as short circuits and fire.
• 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. MIO-CARE 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 35 x 45 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.
