• Ensure that no metallic objects come into contact with
the electrodes during stimulation. Failure to do so could
result in spot burns.
• In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastroin-
testinal tract.
• In the case of metallic implants.
• If you use an insulin pump.
• In areas with high humidity such as in the bathroom or
when bathing or showering.
The electrodes must not be used:
• In the head area: this can trigger seizures.
• In the neck/carotid artery area: this can cause a cardiac
arrest.
• In the throat and larynx area: this can trigger muscular
cramps, which may cause suffocation.
• In the ribcage area: this can increase the risk of ventricu-
lar fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
Consult your GP before use:
• If you suffer from a serious illness, in particular if you
suspect or have been diagnosed with a blood coagula-
tion disorder, propensity to thromboembolic conditions
or recurrent malignant growths.
• If you suffer from diabetes or other health conditions.
• If you have unexplained chronic pain in any part of the
body.
• If you have any sensory impairment that reduces the
feeling of pain (e.g. metabolic disorders).
• If you are receiving medical treatment.
• In the event of complaints linked to stimulation treat-
ment.
• If you suffer from persistently irritated skin under the
electrodes.
Warning
The device is not a substitute for medical consultation and
treatment. Consult your doctor first if you are experiencing
any pain or are suffering from an illness.
Prior to initial use
Important
• Remove all packaging material before using the device.
• Switch the device off immediately if it is faulty or not
working properly.
• Never put the shoulder cuff on if it has bare metal elec-
trodes. Using the shoulder cuff without electrode covers
can cause injury.
• If the self-adhesive covers for the electrode connection
are missing or become detached, we strongly recom-
mend affixing the enclosed electrode covers.
