- It must be used with the supplied electrodes intended for transcutaneous
neuromuscular stimulation.
- It must be kept out of the reach of children.
- ECG monitoring devices may not operate properly when electrostimulation is
working.
- Do not use the device in transthoracic modality because it may cause cardiac
arrhythmia, imposing its frequency over the heart one. Do not stimulate the pectoral
and dorsal muscles simultaneously.
- A simultaneous connection of the patient to a high frequency electrosurgery
device can cause burns where the electrodes are placed and the electrostimulator
can result damaged.
- After turning on the device, make sure that in the display the software version and
the model of the device appear, it means that the device is working and it is ready
to be used.
If not, or in the display all the segments do not appear, turn it off and on again. If
the problem persists, contact the service center and do not use the device.
- An unexpected switching-off of the device means that the battery has run-down.
Charge it according to the instructions in the paragraph: how to charge the
batteries.
Warnings during the use
While using the electrostimulator some warnings should be followed:
- Be sure that the cables and the electrodes are clean before each application.
- In case of damaged cables, they must be replaced with original parts and no
longer used.
- Use only Globus branded electrodes.
- Pay particular attention when the current density for every electrode is above
2mA/cm2 (effective value).
- The cables of the electrostimulation should not be wrapped around people's neck
to avoid any risk of strangulation and suffocation.
- The mobile and fixed radio communications devices could influence the
functioning of the electromedical device: see the tables attached to this manual.
Preventative measures to take using the device for incontinence treatments.
- Patients with extra-urethral incontinence should not be treated with the
electrostimulator.
- Patients suffering excessive incontinence due to evacuation problems should not
be treated with the electrostimulator.
- Patients with severe urinary retention to the upper urinary passages should not be
treated with the stimulator.
- Patients with total peripheral denervation of the pelvic floor should not be treated
with the stimulator.
