using the Muscle Stimulator.
WARNINGS
• Your Muscle Stimulator is suitable for use by all healthy adults. The
Muscle Stimulator Ab Belt and stimulator is not intended for minors,
unless under the care and direction of a doctor, as the safety of electrical
muscle stimulation in children has not been established.

• for muscle reeducation
• to prevent or retard disuse atrophy
• to prevent venous thrombosis
• to maintain or increase range of motion
• for muscle spasms
• for blood flow deficiencies
• Simultaneous connection of a patient to high-frequency surgical
equipment may result in burns at the site of the electrodes and possible
damage to the stimulator.
• Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring
equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), which may not operate
properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.
• Operation in close proximity (e.g. 1 yard) to shortwave or microwave
therapy equipment may produce instability in the stimulator output.
• Applications with electrodes near the rib cage may produce heart
ventricle fibrillation.
• Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of
cardiac fibrillation.
• An injury could occur if device drops on toe, foot, etc.

DO NOT APPLY ELECTRODES:
• On the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients
with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
• On the neck or mouth. Severe spasms of the laryngeal
and pharyngeal muscles may occur with contractions
strong enough to close the airway and/or cause
difficulty in breathing. Stimulation over the neck
could also have an adverse effects on the heart rhythm or
blood pressure.
• Transcerebrally. Stimulation should not be applied across the head and
electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the head
• Over swollen, infected or inflamed areas of skin eruptions
(e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.)
• Transthoracically; introduction of electrical current into the heart may
cause rhythm disturbances, which could be fatal.
• Over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
• Over a tumor or malignancy as it may promote cell growth.
• Over metal implants.
• If you are in any doubt about using your Muscle Stimulator for any
reason, please consult your doctor before use.
PRECAUTIONS
• Long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Apply electrodes ONLY to normal, intact, clean, dry skin.
• Persons with suspected heart problems or epilepsy should obtain
appropriate medical advice.
• Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy has not
been established.
• Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed heart
problems.
• Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy.

• When there is a tendency to 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 areas of the skin which lack normal sensation.
• Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the
electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. Irritation can
usually be reduced by using an alternate conductive medium or alternate
electrode placement.
• Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based on the
guidance of the manufacturer.
• Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the leads and
electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer.
• Plug lead-wires into muscle stimulator only.

operating machinery, or during any activity in which involuntary muscle
contractions may put the user at undue risk of injury.
• Never use the Muscle Stimulator while sleeping.
• Never immerse the Muscle Stimulator in any liquid.
• Never use the Muscle Stimulator in the bath or shower.
• Never use the device in a humid atmosphere (sauna, bathroom, etc.).
