The treatment area should be checked from time to time, and if there is evidence of, or if the patient complains
of, pain during treatment, adjust the output downward until it is tolerated by the patient. If the patient continues
to complain of pain, discontinue the treatment and shorten the treatment time on the next treatment session, or
use an alternative type of therapy or electrode placement.

Do not apply treatment directly over/under hot or cold packs. Caution is recommended when treatment follows
the application of hot or cold therapy, which may alter the patient's sensation. Application of thermal agents
over areas of impaired circulation should be performed with caution as the circulation may be insufficient to
heat or cool the tissue, altering the patient's perception of warmth and pain, and burns or tissue necrosis may
result from subsequent treatment.

Caution is recommended when treatment follows the application of medicated patches, salves, or creams which
may alter the patient's sensation. If there is a medical necessity to perform such treatments, these patients
should be monitored diligently during application. The effect of electrical stimulation may be altered by the
presence of these materials on the patient's skin.
