► Treatment with the Well TENS has no effect on non-specific pain
such as non-specific headaches.

4.4 For what areas of application is the Well TENS unsuitable?

► Treatments with the Well TENS are of a purely symptomatic
nature. They cannot bring about any healing.
Do not use the Well TENS
● if the patient suffers from allergic skin reactions.
Self-adhesive electrodes may lead to irritation of the skin.
● if the patient suffers from heart problems, in particular
cardiac dysrhythmia. The stimulation current may lead to
ventricular fibrillation and in the worst case scenario to
cardiac arrest.
● if the patient has a heart pacemaker, other electronic
implants or metallic implants. The stimulation current may
interfere with the function of the implant.
● if the patient suffers from convulsive disorders. In the worst
case scenario the stimulation current may cause convulsive
seizures.
● if the patient is pregnant. In the worst case scenario the
stimulation current may cause premature contractions.
● during menstruation.
In the worst case scenario the stimulation current may
increase the amount of bleeding and cause or aggravate
cramps.
● on areas of the skin in which the patient no longer has any
sensation of pain. Self-adhesive electrodes may lead to
irritation of the skin and burns.
● if the patient suffers from systemic diseases (i.e. those
affecting the whole body).

4.5 Other points to consider

► Do not use the Well TENS or its accessories if they are
damaged. The stimulation current can cause pain and burning.
► Do not leave the Well TENS within reach of children. Children
may swallow small parts and choke on them.
► Do not use the Well TENS while driving or operating machinery.
The operation of the Well TENS could distract you from your
work and lead to an accident.
► Any inadvertent change in the set-up of the Well TENS could
frighten you by causing unpleasant skin reactions or sudden
muscular contractions. Do not use the Well TENS if a sudden
fright could cause you to injure yourself in any way.
