WARNINGS BEFORE USE

We suggest avoiding the use of the device together with other electronic devices, especially
with those used to maintain vital functions. For a correct use of the Electromedical device, make
reference to the tables attached. If it is necessary to use the device near or together with other
devices, pay attention to its working.
- It is recommended to read carefully the entire operating manual before using the device; keep
carefully this operating manual.
- The device can emit current value above 10m Arms.
- Before each use always check the integrity of the unit. This is a fundamental requirement for
carrying out therapies, do not use the unit if either the buttons or cables are defective or mal-
functioning.
- It must be used only by people over 18 who are able to understand and take action.
- It should not be used for purposes other than neuromuscular stimulation as described in this
manual.
- It must be used following the indications and under the physician or physiotherapist's control;
- It must be used with the supplied electrodes intended for transcutaneous neuromuscular sti-
mulation.
- It must be kept out of the reach of children.
- ECG monitoring devices may not operate properly when electrostimulation is working.
- Do not use the device in trans-thoracic modality because it may cause cardiac arrhythmia, im-
posing its frequency over the heart one. Do not stimulate the pectoral and dorsal muscles si-
multaneously.
- If there is any health problem, it must be used only after seeing a doctor.
- A simultaneous connection of the patient to a high frequency electrosurgery device can cause
burns where the electrodes are placed and the electrostimulator can result damaged.
- After turning on the device, make sure that in the display the software version and the model of
the device appear, it means that the device is working and it is ready to be used.
If not, or in the display all the segments do not appear, turn it off and on again. If the problem
persists, contact the service center and do not use the device.
An unexpected switching-off of the device means that the battery has run-down. Charge it accor-
ding to the instructions in the paragraph: how to charge the batteries.

WARNINGS DURING THE USE

While using the electrostimulator some warnings should be followed:
- In case of damaged cables, they must be replaced with original parts and no longer used;
- Use only the electrodes supplied by the company;
- The device must be kept out of the reach of any pet that could damage it and contaminate it
with parasites;
- Pay particular attention when the current density for every electrode is above 2mA/cm2 (effec-
tive value).
- The cables of the electrostimulation should not be wrapped around people's neck to avoid any
risk of strangulation and suffocation.
- The mobile and fixed radio communications devices could influence the functioning of the elec-
tromedical device: see the tables attached to this manual.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES TO TAKE USING THE DEVICE FOR INCONTINENCE TREATMENTS

- Patients with extra-urethral incontinence should not be treated with the electrostimulator.
- Patients suffering excessive incontinence due to evacuation problems should not be treated
with the electrostimulator.
- Patients with severe urinary retention to the upper urinary passages should not be treated with
the stimulator.
- Patients with total peripheral denervation of the pelvic floor should not be treated with the
stimulator.
