Precautions and Contradictions
Federal Law (USA) restricts TENS, EMS and Micro-Current devices to sale by or on the order of a licensed physician. Effectiveness is dependent upon patient. Keep out of reach of children.
To comply with FDA guidelines, the terms "point detection or location" have been
replaced with "skin impedance monitoring" for those electro therapy devices
which may offer this feature.
Do not use any electro therapy device for the
following: on patients with cardiac pacemakers of any type, over the carotid
sinus area, near or around the eyes, near or around the heart, transcerebrally,
transthoracically, to remove pain syndromes until etiology has been established,
on pregnant women, over or near a known or suspected malignancy, on patients who
have skin diseases, on patients who have implants of any electrical nature, and
on patients with cardiac disease.
All requests for diagnosis or product recommendations should be directed to a licensed physician.
