- Page 2 Instr uction Manua l HILL IFC Instruction Manual The front panel of HILL IFC have the following functions which are explained as follows. 1. Output Socket: Used to give the output for the treatment with the help of lead wire. 2. Patient Switch: - There is a patient emergency stop switch which is connected to the device via cable to turn off the device immediately by patient. When the Patient pressed the Emergency Stop Button, the device will pause all stimulations (all started treatments) without any delay. The resume of treatments can be done only through main user interface –it means that paused treatments cannot be resumed by Patient Switch, again you have to start the treatment by tap on the start/stop option.

Page 8: Adverse Reactions
HILL IFC Instruction Manual Caution should be used in presence of following: • When there is a tendency of hemorrhage following acute trauma or fracture following • recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process Over the menstruating or pregnant uterus • Over area of the skin which lack normal sensation. Some patients may experience skin • irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternate conductive medium or alternate electrode placement. Stimulation settings should be based on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner. • Electrode placement should be based on the guidance of the prescribing physician. HILL IFC should be kept out of the reach of children. The HILL IFC should be used only • with the electrode cables and electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer. The HILL IFC should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any activity in • which Involuntary muscle contraction may put the user at undue risk of injury. Ensure the intensity is adjusted slowly and smoothly and not increased beyond the • patient's tolerance. While treatment Do not lift electrodes off the skin without the intensity being turned down • to zero first. Also be aware of the skin's resistance as this may suddenly drop causing the intensity to • increase. 1.4 Adverse Reactions Skin irritation and bums beneath the electrodes have been reported with use of this device. 1.5 Conditions That affect Use The user needs electric outlet near the treatment area. The unit should not be used in wet environment. •... -
