PRECAUTIONS
• TENS is not effective for pain of central origin, including headache.
• TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
• TENS devices have no curative value.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a
protective mechanism.
• Effectiveness is highly dependent upon the individual using. Results may vary.
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied across your head, and
electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of your head.
• The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established.
• You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician.
We also recommend the following:
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture. Consult with your physician
prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating or pregnant uterus.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack normal sensation.
• Keep this device out of the reach of children.
• Use this device only with the leads, electrodes and accessories provided by the manufacturer to avoid adverse reactions.
• Electrode pads are intended for single person use only.
Please be aware of adverse reactions and precautions below:
• You may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes applied to your skin.
• You may experience headaches and other painful sensations during or following the application of electric stimulation near
your eyes and to your head and face.
• You should stop using the device and consult with your physician if you experience adverse reactions from the device.

STEP BY STEP OPERATION GUIDE FOR TREATMENT
STEP 1 - Preparing Your Skin Before Using
Clean and dry treatment area so its free of all lotions, oils and sweat. The electrode pad(s) should be applied only to
normal, intact, clean, healthy skin that is not experiencing any swelling or inammation.
Following the steps below can help prepare the skin for optimal electrical dispersion and increased stimulation
sensitivity.
1. Determine the electrode pad placement sites for the electrode pad(s).
2. Wash the area with mild soap and water (do not use alcohol). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Trim excess body hair from the area with scissors (do not shave).
4. If desired, apply iReliev® Conductive Gel or Conductive Spray to help increase conductivity. This may also reduce the
chance of skin irritation and may extend the life of the electrode pads.
Note: It may be helpful to apply iReliev® After Use Electrotherapy Lotion on electrode pad placement area when system
is not in use to help increase moisture of skin.
Note: Pads are for single person use only.
Note: When removing electrode pads, always remove by pulling in the direction of hair growth.
