areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis,
thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).
• Over, or in proximity to, cancerous
lesions.
PAD USAGE PRECAUTIONS
• Only use electrode pads supplied by
PowerDot Inc. Other electrodes may
cause potential allergic reactions
due poor biocompatibility, or
have electrical properties that are
unsuitable for PowerDot PD-01M2.
Replacement PowerDot electrodes can
be obtained from PowerDot official
distributors, authorized resellers and/
or from PowerDot Online Store (http://
powerdot.com).
• Do not immerse the pads in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the
pads.
• Do not attempt to place pads on any
part of the body that you yourself
cannot see without assistance. E.g.,
on your back without a mirror to view
placement.
• For best results, wash and clean your
skin and dry it completely before
attaching the pads.
• When attaching the pads, please ensure
that the entire surface of the pad is in
contact with the skin.
• For hygienic reasons, each patient must
have his/her own set of pads. Do not use
the same pads on different people.
• Never use a set of adhesive pads for
more than 20 stimulation sessions
as their bonding power deteriorates
overtime and optimal contact is very
important for both patient comfort and
stimulation efficacy.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over
areas of skin that lack normal sensation.
• Use caution if you may have internal
bleeding, such as following an injury or
fracture.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

• Some people with very sensitive skin
may experience redness under the pads
after the stimulation session. Generally,
this redness is completely harmless
and disappears after 15 to 20 minutes.
However, avoid starting a stimulation
session on the same area until the
redness is no longer visible.
• You may experience headaches and
other painful sensations during or
following the application of electrical
stimulation near your eyes and to your
head and face.
WARNING: Stop using PowerDot and
consult with your physician if you
experience ANY adverse reactions.
