The contraindications listed for the Anodyne® Therapy System, Model 120, specify that it should not be used directly over or near the womb during pregnancy or over an active cancer lesion. There is no mention of contraindications related to pacemakers, donor kidneys, significant swelling and pain in the feet, or diabetes. However, the general warnings indicate that the device should not be used over sensitive areas or in the presence of poor circulation, which may be relevant depending on the patient's condition. Consulting a healthcare provider is recommended before use.
