defibrillator
• In areas of the body with poorly enervated areas
• With epilepsy
• For abdominal or inguinal hernia

General
• Pregnant women should not be treated with Promed IT-6 during the first
trimester.
• TENS devices must be kept out of the reach of children.
• The safety of using TENS devices during pregnancy or delivery has not
been proven.
• TENS is not effective in treating pain of the central nervous system
(headaches).
• Should TENS treatment fail to work or cause discomfort, stimulation
should be discontinued until a doctor has reassessed the situation.
• Always switch the TENS unit off before attaching or removing the
electrodes.
• Never position the electrodes over the eyes, in the mouth or within the body.
• TENS devices do not possess any healing properties.
• TENS is a method for treating symptoms and as such only suppresses
the perception of pains that would otherwise serve as a defence and
warning mechanism for the body.
• Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery, or during
any activity in which electrical stimulation can put you at risk of injury.
• If you are in the care of a physician, consult with your physician before
using this device.
• If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with
your physician before using this device.
• If your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for
more than five days, stop using the device and consult with your physician.
• Do not apply stimulation over your neck because this could cause severe
muscle spasms resulting in closure of your airway, difficulty in breathing,
or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
• Do not apply stimulation across your chest because the introduction
of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to
your heart, which could be lethal.
• Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring
equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, EcG alarms), which may not
operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.
