• In case of high fever (e.g. > 39°C).
• In case of known or acute cardiac arrhythmias and other disorders in
stimulus formation and conduction of the heart.
• If suffering from attacks (e.g. epilepsy).
• If pregnant.
• In case of cancer.
• After operations where increased muscle contractions might impair the
healing process.
• Never use near the heart. Stimulation electrodes should
never be placed anywhere on the front of the thorax (marked
by ribs and breastbone), but above all not on the two large
pectoral muscles. Here it can increase the risk of ventricular
fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest.
• On the bony part of the cranium, near the mouth, throat or
larynx.
• Near the throat / carotid artery.
• Near the genitals.
• On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or inflamed) skin (e.g. in the
event of painful and painless inflammation, reddening, skin rashes (e.g. al-
lergies), burns, bruises, swellings, open wounds and wounds in the process
of healing, on operation scars in the process of healing).
• In environments with high humidity such as in the bathroom or when having
a bath or shower.
• In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Stimulation should not be carried out around or on the head, directly over
the eyes, on the mouth, the throat (the cartoid artery in particular) or using
electrodes placed on the chest, the upper back or over the heart.
• Do not use after consuming alcohol.
• When a high frequency surgical device is connected at the same time.
Before using the device, you should consult with the doctor in charge of
your treatment in the event of the following:
• Acute diseases, especially if hypertension is suspected or actually exists, or
blood-clotting disorders, tendency to thromboembolic diseases or in case
of malignant new masses.
• All skin diseases.
• Chronic pain disorders which have not been clarified, regardless of the
region of the body.
• Diabetes.
• All sensitivity disorders with reduced pain awareness (such as metabolic
disturbances).
• Medical treatments carried out simultaneously.
• Complaints arising as a result of the stimulation treatment.
• Constant skin irritation as a result of prolonged stimulation at the same
electrode point.
IMPORTANT!
Use the Digital TENS/EMS solely:
• On humans.
• For the purpose for which it was developed and in the manner specified in
these instructions for use. Any improper use can be hazardous.
• For external application.
• With the original accessory parts which are supplied and can be re ordered,
otherwise the warranty becomes null and void.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:
• Always remove the electrodes from the skin with a moderate pull in order to
avoid injury in the event of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the device away from heat sources and never use it near (~1 m)
short-wave or microwave equipment (e.g. mobile phones), as this may lead
to unpleasant current spikes.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity. Never submerge the device
in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for private use.
• For reasons of hygiene, the electrodes should only be used on one person.
• If the device is not functioning properly, or if you start feeling unwell or
there is any pain, stop the application immediately.
• To remove or move the electrodes, first switch off the device or the appro-
priate channel in order to avoid unwanted irritation.
• Never modify any electrodes (e.g. by cutting). This leads to a higher cur-
rent density and can be dangerous (max. recommended output value for
electrodes: 9 mA/cm
, an effective current density over 2 mA/cm² requires
2
greater attention).
