6) Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors
and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when electrical
stimulation is in use.
7) Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves,
particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid
sinus reflex.
8) Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may
occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the
airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
9) Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause
cardiac arrhythmias.
10) Stimulation should not take place while the user is
connected to high-frequency surgical equipment, it may
cause burn injuries on the skin under the electrodes, as
well as problems with the stimulator.
11) Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or
microwave therapy equipment, since this may affect the
output power of the stimulator.
12) Never use in environments with high humidity such as
in the bathroom or when having a bath or shower.
13) Caution should be used in applying electrical stimulation to
patients suspected of having heart disease.Further clinical
data is needed to show there are no adverse results.
14) Never use near the heart. Stimulation electrodes should
never be placed anywhere on the front of the thorax
(marked by ribs and breastbone). Take extreme caution not
to place near or on the two large pectoral muscles. Here it
can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and lead to
cardiac arrest.
15) Electrodes should not be placed over the eyes, in the mouth,
near the genitals or internally.
16) Never use on the areas of the skin which lack normal
sensation.
17) Apply the electrodes to clean, dry, and unbroken skin only.
18) Keep electrodes separate during treatment, electrodes in
contact with other could result in improper stimulation or
skin burns.
