2.6 Special prescriptions for the operator

There are no specific safety prescriptions for operators. If an operator wishes to test
the operation of the device on his own body, he must simply follow the
prescriptions for patients.

2.7 Special prescriptions for the patient

2.7.1 Contraindications

As a general rule it is important to observe the generic precautions related to the application
of superficial heat:

acute inflammatory conditions or important vascular pain;

tumours, reduced sensitivity, children and other individuals not able to understand
alarm sensations
If the area to be treated has a reduced sensitivity to heat (for example for the presence of
scarring), it is necessary to perform a test of heat sensitivity in an area close to that to be
treated in order to determine the temperature value to be used in the treatment.
For patients carrying pacemakers or other electronic devices, it is necessary to consult the
specialist in cardiology (or other discipline, in the case of devices for applications other than
cardiology).
For patients with hypotension, long-term applications or applications on the cervical
vertebrae or spine may cause low arterial pressure; in this case it is necessary to suspend
the application until the pressure returns to normal values and then reduce the duration of
treatment or lengthen the interval between one session and another.
Before the treatment you should ensure that in the zone to be treated there are no metallic
parts that may overheat (plates, nails, prosthesis); also the materials that compose the
plastic prosthesis can be damaged by diathermy, especially if they are close to metal parts.
In particular, according to present knowledge, the apparatus
on patients with the characteristics listed below:

pregnant women;







