The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
Wait before using your BODY CONTROL SYSTEM:
When applying the belt, always remember to place the belt only on the abdomen and as indicated in this manual.
f f
Do not apply stimulation on the neck. Severe spasm of the muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to
f f
close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
Stimulation over the neck could also have adverse effects on the heart rhythm or blood pressure.
f f
Do not apply stimulation across the chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm distur-
f f
bances to the heart, which could be lethal.
The effects of stimulation on the brain are unknown. Therefore, do not apply stimulation across the head and do not place
f f
electrodes on the opposite side of the head.
Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean skin. Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or over swollen, infected, or
f f
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
Do not apply stimulation in the bath or under the shower.
