WARNINGS:
Do NOT use if you are unable to
properly insert the vaginal or anal
probe. If you have a severe prolapse, or
if any discomfort occurs when inserting
the probe, consult your healthcare
professional before use.
Do NOT use when driving, operating
machinery, or similar actions needing
muscular control.
pads, damaged leads, or sudden
changes in contact may cause brief
involuntary muscle movements.
Do NOT use to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain. This may delay
diagnosis of a progressive condition.
Do NOT use if you have, in the area
being treated: active or suspected
cancer or undiagnosed pain with a
history of cancer. Stimulation directly
through a confirmed or suspected
malignancy should be avoided as it may
stimulate growth and promote spread of
cancer cells.
Do NOT use optional electrodes on the
front of the neck. Stimulation on the
front of the neck can affect your heart
rate or cause contraction of the throat.
Do NOT use optional electrodes across
the chest.
Very strong stimulation
across the chest may cause an extra
heartbeat and/or rhythm disturbances
to your heart, which could be lethal.
Do
NOT
use
simultaneously
connected
frequency surgical equipment as it may
result in burns at the site of stimulator
electrodes and possible damage to the
stimulator.
Do NOT use Alivia in close proximity
(e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or microwave
Loose electrode
Alivia
while
to
high
as this may produce instability in the
stimulator output.
Do NOT use electrodes near the thorax
as this may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
CAUTIONS:
Caution should be used if you have a
bleeding disorder as stimulation may
increase blood flow to the stimulated
region.
Caution should be used if you have
suspected or diagnosed epilepsy as
electrical stimulation may affect seizure
threshold.
Caution should be observed when
using the device at the same time as
being
connected
equipment with body worn electrode
pads. It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
Caution Do not permit use by persons
unable to understand the instructions or
persons with cognitive disabilities, i.e.;
Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Caution: Insertion of the vaginal or anal
electrode makes it unsuitable for use in
children without clinical supervision
Caution: Keep away from children
under 5 years of age. Long cord - risk
of strangulation in infants.
Caution should be observed when
using the Alivia at high strength
settings. Prolonged use at high settings
may cause muscle injury or tissue
inflammation.
Caution Not intended for use in an
oxygen rich environment.
