"WARNINGS" in the manual. Failure to follow instructions can cause harm to user or
device.
2. Do not use this device for undiagnosed pain syndromes until consulting a physician.
3. Patients with an implanted electronic device, such as a cardiac pacemaker, implanted

close the airways, make breathing difficult, and may have adverse effects on the heart
rhythm or blood pressure.
