Precautionary Instructions (continued)

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. Harmful interference to other devices can be
determined by turning this equipment on and off. Try to correct the
interference using one or more of the following: reorient or relocate
the receiving device, increase the separation between the equipment,
connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from that to
which the other device(s) are connected and/or consult the factory
field service technician for help.

Before administering any treatment to a patient, become acquainted with

the operating procedures for each mode of treatment available, as well
as the indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions. Consult
other resources for additional information regarding the application of
Electrotherapy.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the unit from the power source
before attempting any maintenance procedures.
Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes in contact
with each other could result in improper stimulation or skin burns.
Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and
the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause
difficulty in breathing.
Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac
arrhythmia.
Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, inflamed areas
or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous
lesions.
Output current density is related to electrode size. Improper application
may result in patient injury. If any question arises as to the proper
electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner prior to therapy session.
Vacuum electrodes should not be used on patients with thin, papery
skin. Vacuum may lead to contact difficulty and bruising.
Vacuum electrodes are not suitable for patients who are taking
steroids due to the likelihood of bruising.

This device should be used only under the continued supervision

of a licensed practitioner.
Make certain the unit is electrically grounded by connecting only to a
grounded electrical service receptacle conforming to the applicable
national and local electrical codes.

and electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer.

ELECTROTHERAPY

Intelect Advanced Vacuum Electrode Module

Precautionary Instructions (continued)

Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device,

in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25
microcoulombs (C) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.

The safety of TENS waveforms for use during pregnancy or birth

has not been established.
TENS is not effective for pain of central origin. This includes
headache.
TENS should be used only under the continued supervision of a
physician.
TENS waveforms have no curative value.
TENS is a symptomatic treatment and as such suppresses the
sensation of pain which would otherwise serve as a protective
mechanism.
The user must keep the device out of the reach of children.
Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG
alarms) may not operate properly when TENS stimulation is in use.
In the event that an Error message or Warning beginning with a 2 or
3 appears, immediately stop all use of the system and contact the
dealer or DJO for service. Errors and Warnings in these categories
indicate an internal problem with the system that must be tested
by DJO or a Field Service Technician certified by DJO before any further operation or use of the system. Use of a system that indicates an
Error or Warning in these categories may pose a risk of injury
to the patient, user or extensive internal damage to the system.
