Foreword
Read this manual before using your iTENS device.
Body Clock strongly recommends carefully reading
the Contraindications, Precautions and Warnings and
subsequent chapters of this manual before use.
Contraindications:
1. Do NOT use this device
if you have a cardiac
pacemaker, implanted
defibrillator, or other
implanted metallic or
electronic device.
2. Do NOT apply
stimulation across
your chest because the
introduction of electrical
current into the chest
may cause rhythm
disturbances to your
heart, which could be
lethal;
3. Do NOT the iTENS
device during pregnancy
unless under medical
supervision.
4. Since the effects of
stimulation of the
brain are unknown, do
NOT apply stimulation
across your head, and
electrodes should not
be placed on opposite
sides of your head.
5. Do NOT place electrodes
on the front or side of
the neck because this
could cause severe
muscle spasms resulting
in closure of your airway,
difficulty in breathing,
or adverse effects on
heart rhythm or blood
pressure.
6. If you are in the care of a
physician, consult your
physician before using
this device.
7. If your pain does not
improve, becomes more
than mild, or continues
for more than five
days, stop using the
device and consult your
physician.
8. If you suffer from any
undiagnosed pain, have
any metal implants or
any doubts whatsoever
do NOT use the iTENS
and consult your
medical adviser.
9. Never use TENS to mask
undiagnosed pain as
this could require urgent
treatment.

potentially dangerous
machinery or during
any activity in which
electrical stimulation
can put you at risk of
injury.
11. Do NOT use in close
proximity (e.g. 1m) to
shortwave or microwave
therapy equipment to
avoid instability in the
stimulator output.
12. Do NOT apply
stimulation in the
presence of electronic
monitoring equipment
(such as ECG monitors
and ECG alarms), which
may not operate properly
when TENS is in use.
Portable and mobile
RF communications
equipment can affect
medical electrical
equipment. Operation of
the equipment or system
below this amplitude
or value may cause
inaccurate results.
13. Do NOT use adjacent to
or stacked with other
equipment.
14. Do NOT use the device
on children, if it has
not been evaluated for
paediatric use.
16. Do NOT place electrodes
across the head, directly
or near the eyes,
covering the mouth,
on the front or sides
of the neck (especially
the carotid sinus), on
the chest and upper
back so as to cross over
the heart, directly over
your heart or an area
of broken, inflamed,
infected or numb skin.
17. The gel electrodes
should only be applied
to skin with normal
sensation unless under
medical supervision
since skin irritation
could occur following
long term application.
18. Do not apply stimulation
over, or in proximity to,
cancerous lesions.
19. If you have suspected
or diagnosed
epilepsy, you should
follow precautions
recommended by your
physician.
20. Use caution if you have
a tendency to bleed
