with the exception of transducers and cables sold by the MANUFACTURER
of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM as replacement parts for internal
components, may result in increased EMISSIONS or decreased IMMUNITY
of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM.
17) The ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM should not be used adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary,
the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be
strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
23) Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of
electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
24) Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally.
