9. Caution:
Do not use this device next to or stacked with other devices, as this
may result in deficient operation. If, however, use in the manner described abo-
ve is still necessary, this device and the other devices should be observed to en-
sure that they are working properly.
10.
Placing of the electrodes:
a. The TENStem eco basic may only be connected to just 1 patient.
b. Before applying the electrodes, clean the skin surface on which the electro-
des are to be attached. Otherwise incorrect operation cannot be excluded.
c. Take care that metallic objects (e.g. jewellery or piercings) do not get in con-
tact with the electrodes during the stimulation because otherwise isolated
skin burns may appear.
d. Tattoo colours may consist of metallic pigments which – in cooperation with
the current flow - can lead in rare cases to too high current densities and skin
damages. In possible, the stimulation should not take place in body areas with
tattoos. If that is not possible, the stimulation should be carried out with raised
attention and should be immediately stopped in case of an emergency.
e. Any electrodes with current densities exceeding 2 mA/cm² may require the
special attention of the operator as it may lead to painful results.
f. Caution: Attach the electrodes to the skin so that the electrode surface has
even and complete skin contact. Additionally make sure that the electrodes
are placed at least 2 cm apart from each other. Otherwise, high current den-
sities may occur at certain points on the skin, resulting in painful skin lesions.
g. Special caution is required for patients with metallic implants who have sen-
sory loss in the area of the metal. The sensory loss can tempt to a raised setting
of the stimulation intensity; this could lead to skin irritations, flush and pain in
the area of the metal. In this case the stimulation has to be stopped at once.
11. Do not allow the product to be dropped and handled incorrectly. Only use
at temperatures between 10 °C and 40 °C, at a relative humidity between 30 %
and 75 % and a pressure between 70 kPA and 106 kPA. So do not use the pro-
duct e.g. in bathroom or similar humid environments.
Warning:
mable substances or steam!
Caution:
If you expose this device to sudden temperature changes from cold
to warm, do not turn on the device until it reaches the same temperature as the
environment in which it will be used; wait at least 30 minutes. Otherwise con-
densation inside the unit may result in electric shocks, fire, and damage to the
device and/or personal injuries.
