3.2 For which applications is your KOOL
Patch suited, and for which is it not?
► The KOOL Patch is designed exclu-
sively for alleviating pain caused
by stress-induced tension.
► Tension and pain can also be
symptomatic of a serious illness,
which excludes self-treatment with
the KOOL Patch.
Prior to its use, we recommend that you
consult your physician, pharmacist or
physiotherapist.
3.3 When may you not use your KOOL
Patch?
Do not use the KOOL Patch
► if you suffer from cardiac prob-
lems, especially from cardiac dys-
rhythmias. The stimulation current
can lead to ventricular fibrillation
and in the worst case to cardiac
arrest.
► if you have a pacemaker or other
electronic implants. The stimula-
tion current can interfere with the
function of your implant.
► if you suffer from seizures. In se-
vere cases the stimulation current
