General Precautions; Characteristics; Directions Before Use; Charging - VISIOMED bewell connect MyTens Manuel De L'utilisateur

- Always place the electrodes in accordance with the electrode illustrations.
- Do not place on your spine or backbone.
- Electrode pad should not touch any metal object, such as a belt buckle or necklace.
- Do not share electrode pads with another person. This may cause a skin irritation or infection.
Electrode pads are intended for use by one person.
- Always turn the power off before removing or changing the electrode pad location.
- If the stimulator is not functioning properly or you feel discomfort, immediately stop using
the device.
- Dispose of the device, batteries, and components according to applicable legal regulations.
Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.
The effectiveness of your sessions will depend in part on how you place your electrodes on
the skin. Before placing the electrodes, ensure you have good sensation in the area. If in doubt
about the ideal placement you can move the electrodes to find the best sensation. If you find
an area to be effective, note the placement for future use. If you suffer discomfort (unpleasant
contractions during burst electrical neurostimulation programs), it is advisable to move the
electrodes. If during electrical muscle stimulation programs (intended especially to create a
contraction of the muscle) no contraction occurs, this may mean an intensity is too low or the
electrodes have been placed incorrectly.

2.4 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

- Before using the device, consult your doctor in the case: you take insulin for diabetes; muscle
contractions stimulate glucose uptake / recent surgery; the use of this device may affect the
healing process.
- It is necessary to complete the treatment in the MyTens application or press the on/off button
of the device before removing the electrodes. If you do not complete the treatment and
remove the electrodes or the device, and if you touch the connectors, it is possible to feel pain
in the fingers. This sensation, however, is not dangerous.
- Before any use of electrodes, check their expiration date on the packaging. If the date has
expired, do not use them.
- Use new electrodes when the electrodes are damaged, dirty, less adhesive or if you begin to
feel discomfort during stimulation (uncomfortable pinching, tingling).
- This product must only be used with the adapter, the cable and accessories recommended by
the manufacturer.
- Before use, check that the device and the electrodes are not damaged. In case of any damage,
do not use the electrodes.
- Usable indoors and outdoors, the device is not designed to withstand all weather conditions.
- The device is not waterproof. Do not get wet and never use it in a damp environment.
- Do not use plaster or tape to attach the electrodes to the skin.
- For storing the electrodes, please follow the instructions in section 5.1 "Storage of the

electrodes".

- In case of abnormal operation of the device in accordance with this user manual, discontinue
use and contact customer service. Consult section 6 "Troubleshooting Guide" for information
concerning potential malfunctions of the device.
- The patient is intend operator.

- The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
- TENS is not effective in treating the original source or cause of the pain, including headache.
- TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
- TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would
otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
- If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions recommended
by your physician.
- If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended
by your physician.
- Use this device only with the electrodes, adapter and Micro-USB cable recommended by the
manufacturer.
- Use the transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation programs in bursts (TENS Burst) at rest.
They can cause a muscle contraction in the treatment area.
- The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established.
- Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure, because
stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
Side effects
Side effects are few and often represented by skin irritation (redness) associated to electrodes.
They usually disappear within two hours following a session of electro -stimulation. If they
persist for more than 24 hours, consult your doctor.
Users can also present myoclonus (involuntary muscle contractions) if the stimulation intensity
is too high, or sensory disturbances.
In case of side effects during the use such as nausea or fainting, burns at the locations of the
electrodes, painful sensations or headache, stop using the device and consult your doctor.

3. CHARACTERISTICS

- Pain relief and healing of muscle tension (TENS: 11 preset programs)
- Strengthening of the muscular mass (EMS: 8 standard programs)
- Designed to be used for temporary relief of pain.
- Designed to be used for the stimulation of healthy muscles.

4. DIRECTIONS BEFORE USE

4.1 CHARGING

Charge the device before the first use. In normal conditions (ambient temperature), it takes 5
hours to charge the device. A full charge allows a battery life of about 8 hours continuously
when functioning in normal conditions. Please charge the device fully before beginning a
session. If the charge is not complete at the beginning of a program, the battery may become
depleted before the end of the session. You cannot use the device when it is charging.
The life of a rechargeable battery depends on the number of recharging/rundown cycles it
undergoes and how these cycles are performed. The service life of rechargeable battery is more
than 300 recharging/rundown cycles. We provide the following suggestions for the longer life
of the battery:
1) Whenever the device is not used frequently, we recommend recharging the battery once a
month.
