Do not treat the the following parts or areas :
- Do not position the electrodes on broken or injured skin, or that which is dirty or unhealthy.
Skin with irritation, sores or other lesions can lead to the injection of too much current on the
area, which can cause burns.
- Do not place the electrodes near cancerous lesions because this may have a negative impact
on these injuries.
- Do not place the electrodes on skin areas on which sensations are not normal. You may burn
yourself due to a lack of perception of the high intensity of the current.
- Do not put the electrodes on areas that are swollen, red, infected or inflamed or on skin rashes
(eg. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins). Stimulation should not be performed on
areas of thrombosis or thrombophlebitis because it can promote the circulation and lead to a
greater risk of embolism.
- Do not put the electrodes on redness or open wounds. Open wounds may lead to applying too
much current on the area, causing burns. They can also further the penetration of substances
from the electrode into the skin.
- Do not make sudden movements during a session. This could cause a dysfunction of the device.
Do not use the device in the following conditions :
- Do not use the device if you are connected to high frequency surgical equipment. This could
lead to burns on the skin under the electrodes and damage the device.
- Do not use the electro-stimulator if you are monitored by a doctor and you have not consulted
him before using it.
- In the case of internal bleeding due to impacts or injury, do not use the device.
- Do not use electrical muscle stimulation if muscle contraction can disrupt the healing process.
If the tendon or the muscle is torn, a muscle contraction can aggravate the tear. This can also
occur after recent surgery or after an acute trauma or fracture. A muscle contraction can also
aggravate the symptoms of tendonitis.
- Do not use the device while driving, operating machinery or any other activity during which

rent on this area can cause heart rhythm disturbances, with a risk of death.
Its effects on the brain are unknown. Stimulation to the head or on each
side of the skull must be avoided.
Stimulation on the sides of the neck or on the carotid artery can cause seri-
ous adverse effects on your blood pressure or your heart rhythm.

can block your airways and cause breathing difficulties.
Do not place the electrodes on the inside of body cavities, such as in the
mouth. This device is only designed for external application.
Do not place the electrodes on the genitals. They could stimulate inappro-
priate muscles or organs.
