medical conditions:
1. This device must not be used on persons with cardiac pacemakers,
defibrillators; or other implanted metallic electronic devices.
2. Epilepsy
3. Following acute trauma or fracture
4. Following recent surgical procedures
5. Critical ischemia of lower limbs
6. Abdominal or inguinal hernia

PRECAUTIONS |
1. Some persons may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the
electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
2. This device should be kept out of the reach of children.
3. This device should be used only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories
recommended for use by the manufacturer.
WARNINGS |
1. The long term effects of prolonged use of electrical stimulation are unknown.
2. Stimulation should not be applied over the neck. Severe spasm of the
muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the
airway or cause difficulty in breathing. Stimulation over the neck could also
have adverse effects on the heart rhythm or blood pressure.
3. Electrodes used for electrical stimulation should not be applied across the
chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause
rhythm disturbances to the heart.
4. The effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown. Therefore, stimulation
should not be applied across the head and electrodes should not be placed on
opposite sides of the head.
5. Electrodes should be applied only to normal, intact, clean skin. Electrodes
should not be applied over open wounds or over swollen, infected, or inflamed
areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
6. Electrodes should not be shared with other persons. Each person should have
their own set of electrodes; otherwise, undesirable skin reactions may occur.
7. Self-adhesive electrodes should be replaced if they no longer stick firmly to
the skin.
8. Stimulation should not be applied when in the bath or shower.
9. Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy has not
been established.
10. Marc Pro should not be used while driving, operating machinery, or
during an activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at
undue risk of injury.
11. Do not use the device in humid atmosphere (sauna, hydrotherapy, etc).
12. Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed heart problems.
13. Caution should be used when applying the device over a menstruating uterus.

lack normal sensation.
15. Operation in close proximity to shortwave or microwave therapy may
produce instability in the output of the device.
