• The device must not be used in the presence of patient monitoring equipment. • Do not use MIO-CARE with electrosurgical or shortwave or microwave therapy equipment or other equipments that send electrical impulses into the body. • Use of the device is prohibited to persons younger than 15 years or not adequately educated about device use through adult persons. - Page 7 • Consult a doctor before using MIO-CARE with metallic osteosynthesis devices. Muscle heaviness and cramps may be experienced in the event of prolonged muscle stimulation. Should this occur we recommend to suspende treatment with MIO-CARE for a few days. Make sure that the plug and battery charger are intact. Should one of these parts show any sign of damage, suspend use of the battery charger immediately and contact the retailer or manufacturer.

At the end of the program (always preset at the factory), the stimulator will return to the initial screen of the selected program setting the intensity to zero. To turn MIO-CARE off press ON/OFF key. ‘Stop program’ command: pressing the ON/OFF button once whilst the program is running interrupts the program. -
Page 12: Mio-Care Maintenance And Storage
We recommend that MIO-CARE is switched off and the cables are removed from the connectors at the end of every session. MIO-CARE should be kept in the carry bag supplied, together with the rest of the equipment supplied with it, and carefully stored on a secure surface and protected from situations listed in the Warnings paragraph. -

This may damage the cables. 9. Resolution of problems and questions. Any type of work on MIO-CARE must be carried out exclusively by the manufacturer or by an authorised dealer. In any event, any presumed malfunction of MIO-CARE must be verified before sending the device to the manufacturer. - Page 14 The stimulation intensity is displayed on the MIO-CARE screen for each channel in a scale progressing from 0 to 50. Once the initial intensity has been set, MIO-CARE will proceed until it reaches the end of the program and does not require any further action from the user.

Massage, winding down, active recovery impulse: intensity must be adjusted gradually to massage the muscle treated. The level of intensity should be sufficient to obtain a comfortable massage. There is no need to endure high intensity levels in this case as it is meant to be a massage, meaning that intensity can be increased gradually without excesses. -

- Page 21 MIO-CARE. REMEMBER THAT PAIN IS A SIGN: consult a doctor to identify the medical condition before using MIO-CARE! TENS, an acronym standing for “transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation”, is a therapeutic technique mainly used for analgesic purposes to counter the effects (usually pain) of a wide variety of medical conditions.
- Page 22 illustration 1 WARNING Create a square area with the electrodes, over the painful zone. Keep minimum distance between electrodes. TENS 01 • Fast TENS (Medical program) Program also called conventional tens, used for analgesic purposes; its purpose is to induce the organism into blocking pain at the spine, in accordance with the “Gate Control Theory”...

- Page 25 TENS 15 • Epicondylitis (Medical program) Also known as “tennis elbow”, it is an insertional tendinopathy concerning insertion of the elbow bone into the epicondylar muscles, those enabling finger and wrist extension (bending backwards). 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend that you consult your doctor to identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
- Page 26 TENS 20 • Urgency incontinence (Medical program) Program duration 9 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception to produce light internal stimulation. This program, for which no photographs are provided regarding the position of the electrodes, requires the use of appropriate internal stimulation probes, supplied separately together with the relative instructions.

- Page 28 a cycle of 15/20 applications must be completed before the first results can be seen; one application for each muscle every two days with a day of rest in between. It is possible to work on pairs of muscles, for example thighs and abdominal muscles, treating one set one day and the other the next day.
- Page 29 The program produces sequential tonic contractions, reproducing the typical effect of electronic lymphatic drainage. There are no real limits of application for these programs, which can be practiced until the desired result has been achieved. Stimulation intensity must be sufficient to produce good muscle contractions during the treatment but not enough to cause any soreness.

- Page 31 FITNESS 6/7 • Basic strength - upper limbs and trunk (6), lower limbs (7). The Basic strength program is used in sport to develop basic strength, which for definition is the maximum tension that a muscle can exert against constant resistance. The contractions alternate with periods of active recovery during the work phase, allowing the muscle to be trained without subjecting it to stress and improving oxygenation of the same muscle.
- Page 32 FITNESS 14 • Agonist / Antagonist. The electronic stimulator produces contractions alternated between 2 channels: during the first 4 minutes of warm-up the 2 channels work simultaneously, during the central work phase (15 minutes) muscle contractions are alternated between Channel 1 (agonist muscles) and Channel 2 (antagonist muscles).
