Precautions:Precautions should be exercised when stimulation is used:
- After a recent surgical procedure where muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process
- After acute trauma or a fracture where there is a tendency to hemorrhage
- Over the menstruating uterus
- Where sensory nerve damage has caused the loss of normal skin sensation
Warnings:
- Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus
- Severe spasm of the laryngeal and/or pharyngeal muscles may occur when electrodes are placed over the neck or mouth
- Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally
- Adequate precaution should be taken with patients with suspected heart problems or epilepsy
- Caution should be exercised in the transthoracic application of EMS devices so that the introduction of electrical current into the heart does not cause arrhythmias
- EMS devices should be kept out of the reach of children
- Safety of electrical stimulation for use during pregnancy has not been established
- Long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown
- EMS devices should only be used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy in the treatment of medical diseases and conditions
- Persistent use of stimulation in the presence of skin irritation may be injurious
- Simultaneous connection to RF surgery equipment can cause a burn
- Operation near (e.g. 1m) short wave or micro wave therapy equipment can change the output values of the stimulator
Adverse Effects:Improper use of stimulation may result in skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes.
