the neck. Use an appropriate length of lead.
Chest Stimulation
Stimulation should not be applied between the chest and upper back, crossing over
the heart, because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause
rhythm disturbances to the patient's heart, which could be fatal.

recommended by their physicians. The Microstim2 should not be used by people
