16) The use of ACCESSORIES, transducers and cables other than those specied,
with the exception of transducers and cables sold by the MANUFACTURER
of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM as replacement parts for internal
components, may result in increased EMISSIONS or decreased IMMUNITY
of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM.
17) The ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM should not be used adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary,
the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM should be observed to verify normal
operation in the conguration in which it will be used.
18) The use of the ACCESSORY, transducer or cable with ME EQUIPMENT and
ME SYSTEMS other than those specied may result in increased EMISSIONS
or decreased IMMUNITY of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM.
19) A warning on potential hazard from operation in close proximity to a shortwave
or microwave therapy equipment.
20) The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
21) Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in
patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reex.
22) Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the
laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be
strong enough to close the airway or cause difculty in breathing.
23) Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of
electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
24) Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally.
25) Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inamed areas or
skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
