Chap.2–SAFETY REGULATIONS
2.1–General rules
Before using the device for the first time, you must read the user manual
carefully. In order to use it properly, before starting it up or connecting it to the
patient, you must:
(1) make a sight check, to identify any signs of damage;
(2) carefully take note of all the notices on the device;
(3) take away any liquid containers since the device is not protected against
entry of liquids (IP 20);
(4) make sure the accessories are available for applying stimulation (see
paragraph on Basic equipment).
2.2–Contraindications
Electrostimulation must not be carried out on:
(1) on pacemaker carriers or on individuals affected by heart trouble or heart
rhythm trouble;
(2) on the front surface of the neck, since this could lead to larynx spasms;
(3) on the side of the neck, due to the sensitivity of the carotid;
(4) in the abdomen and lumbar-sacral region, with pregnant women;
(5) on areas affected by skin lesions, mucose, altered local sensitivity, infective
processes, inflammations, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis;
(6) in case of implanted electronic equipment (e.g. pacemaker) in the area
immediately below the area being stimulated;
(7) on areas affected by tumours and in the abdominal/lumbar area when liver or
kidney stones are present;
(8) Keep it out of the reach of children.
2.3–Precautions during use
We suggest you consult a physician and use the electrostimulator under his or
her control if:
1. you use the neuromuscular stimulation for analgesic purposes on patients
affected by painful syndromes, in order to identify the reason behind their
pathology, especially when the symptoms do not regress within a few days
after the analgesic stimulation has been applied;
2. applying the electrodes on the face (keep off from the eyes at least 3-5 cm);
3. near segments to be treated which host metal synthetic media and intra-tissue
metals (like prostheses, osteosynthesis materials, spirals, screws, plates);
4. patients suffering from epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, the sensitivity
threshold could be altered;

6/12
5. women who are certainly or supposedly pregnant, applying the stimulation
only in peripheral areas, such as the top or bottom limbs;
6. applying the electrodes in areas affected by tenon or muscle injury;
7. patients affected by spastic paralysis.
We suggest you do not apply the electrodes:
8. above the eye bulb;
9. directly on delicate areas, such as the middle of the breast, the groin or the
armpits, or on sensitive areas;
10. never place the heart muscle between the positive and the negative poles, i.e.
never put one electrode on the front of the torso and the other on the back
near the heart area;
11. on different patients, to avoid the crossed contamination phenomenon.
2.4 –Special notices
1. We suggest you do not use the electrostimulator after a heavy meal.
2. Should any sign of tachychardia, extrasystolia, or failure to tolerate the
stimulation appear during the treatment, you should suspend the treatment
to bring the whole situation back to normal.
3. At the end of the session, the area the electrode was applied on may redden
slightly, or else a capillary may burst in the area. In this case we suggest you
use a lighter frequency or a lower stimulation intensity.

5. remove the plastic support lifting the electrode by a flap;
6. apply the electrodes on the zone to be treated, following the pictures at the
end of the manual and the instructions in the Chapter APPLICATIONS (the
polarity of the plugs is not important); press the electrodes for a few seconds
so the gel adheres perfectly, even in the corners;
7. press the ON/OFF button to turn on the device;

6.1 –Programming the sessions
In order to carry out effective treatment using IBeauty Tens, apply the stimulation
on every treating area for 30 minutes, at least twice a week. For the treatment of
diffused and compact cellulitis it can be useful to repeat the treatment (total 60
minutes); for acute pathologies and particularly intense and continuous pains it is
advisable to repeat the specific analgesic program 2 - 3 times in the same day
after some hours.. See the following number of weekly sessions suggested in base
of program type.
Muscle stimulation –2 - 3 applications on alternate days; use P6 program after
the most intense sessions or fatiguing trainings.
Aesthetic treatments –between 3 and 5 sessions (also every day); to get also
the toughening of the treated zones, combine with the muscular stimulation in
the same session or in alternated days.
Analgesic therapy –apply every day (or when it's necessary) until the pain
disappears or decreases considerably. After 10 - 20 applications if the pain
persists, refer to a physician.
Chap. 7 –APPLICATIONS
The centre of the manual shows some possible ways of positioning the electrodes:
on muscles for stimulation, on adipose areas for local thinning and on painful
spots for analgesic therapy.
ATTENTION: READ CAREFULLY THE CONTRAINDICATIONS
BEFORE THE APPLICATION.
7.1 –Positioning the electrodes
Following are some general techniques:
Muscle stimulation–apply 2 electrodes at 1 to 2 cm from the beginning and
the end of the muscle, in a longitudinal direction. For large muscles, use 4
electrodes with 2 Channels (e.g.. quadriceps, glutei).
Beauty treatments –apply 2 or 4 electrodes to the area to be treated in order to
mark off the surface involved, always at 1 to 2 cm from the limit of the area
itself; there are no specific points for positioning.
Analgesic therapy - apply 2 electrodes on sides of painful area delimit the
trigger point. For restricted painful areas, apply the negative electrode on the
point of pain and the positive at 2 to 3 cm of distance. If the pain is diffuse and
deep, apply 4 electrodes around the trigger point.

Chap. 9 –MAINTENANCE
Equipment: clean with a damp cloth. Keep the device in a cool and dry place,
far from sunlight.
Batteries: in normal conditions they last for some weeks. Replace the batteries
with some of the same kind, or with rechargeable batteries; do not use different
kinds of batteries at the same time.
Electrodes: under conditions of ordinary use, they last at least 10 to 15
applications or more. After use, put them immediately back on their suports,
and always close them in their bags. When the gel loses adherence, wipe the
pre-gelled part before and/or after application. To ensure longer life, keep the
electrodes in a refrigerator.

MED26017 BY THE NOTIFIED BODY No. 0476.
WASTE DISPOSAL IN AGREEMENT WITH THE DIRECTIVE
2002/96/EC AND and 2003/108CEE
Chap. 11 - WARNINGS
Disposal: The device must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations
for disposal of special waste.
The tool works according to its specifications, if the environment is maintained to
an inclusive temperature between the 5° and the 40° Cs and with damp inferior to
80%. The same conditions must be maintained during transport and storing.
Do not use in the immediate proximities of cellular telephones (maintain them to
at least some meter of distance).
Operate in proximity (for instance to 1 meter) of an instrument for waves therapy
short, or microwaves, can produce instability in the exit of the device.
Don't simultaneously connect the patient with the electrostimulator and with a
surgical instrument HF, to avoid dangers for the patient and for the same
stimulator. You recommends to the operator not to contemporarily touch patient
and active parts.
In case of malfunctions and breakdowns, it is opportune to exclusively send the
tool to the house builder. You recommends not to operate in proximity of
inflammable substances
You keeps in mind that the use of the same electrodes and the same envelopes in
sponge or of the same conductive bands on more patients it could favour
phenomenon of cross infection among the same.
