Precautions
• TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain
management therapies.
• TENS devices have no curative value.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the
sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective
mechanism.
• The success of the therapy depends to a considerable extent on the
patient's choice of physician and whether they are qualified for the
treatment of patients suffering from pain.
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
• you may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the
electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium.
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as
following an injury or fracture.
• consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent
surgical procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing
process.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating or pregnant
uterus.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack
normal sensation.
• Use this device only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
