TheAmpliMovemedicaldevicehasbeendesignedforthegenerationoftranscutaneous
stimulation of muscles and nerves with mid-frequency current on humans and may
not be used for any other purposes.
2 For safe use
Safety Instructions
Please read the operating instructions carefully before using the AmpliMove medical.
Health disorders may indicate serious disease. Please consult a physician and/or a
physiotherapist and consider the contra-indication and side-eects of the AmpliMove
medical.
To ensure safe use of the AmpliMove medical:
»Only use the AmpliMove medical with original accessories.
»Keep the AmpliMove medical away from water or other liquids.
»Do not use the AmpliMove medical if it is not working properly or if it has been
damaged in any way.
»The USB connector serves exclusively for software updates. Do not connect any
other device (e.g. printer) than a USB flash drive with a software update to the
USB connector of the AmpliMove medical device. Do not try to charge an external
appliance with the USB connector. Do not treat a patient with AmpliMove medical
when using its USB connector.
»Do not simultaneously connect a patient to AmpliMove medical and to.
»Do not operate the AmpliMove medical close to a high frequency surgical device,
another medical unit, a short wave or microwave unit or a mobile telephone system
as it can cause fluctuations in the output values of the electric current stimulation
unit.
»Avoid electrodes placement over the anterior chest wall. The electrodes should be
positioned in such ways that the current flow will not cross through the heart.
»The sizes of the electrodes are to be not less than 2 cm². If the applies current density
goes below 2 mA/cm², special attention on the patient is required.
»Only connect one patient to the AmpliMove medical.
»Do not use the AmpliMove medical during the simultaneous operation of other
machines, when driving or when asleep.
»Do not hold anything in the hand if using the stimulation sleeves STIMEX-TEX on
the upper extremities. Remain seated if using the stimulation sleeves STIMEX-TEX
on the lower extremities.
»Do not drop the AmpliMove medical, do not use it inappropriately or expose it to
extreme temperatures or high levels of humidity (not less than 10°C or more than 40

6
schwa-medico Operating Manual - AmpliMove medical
°C or a relative humidity of more than 90 %).
»Be careful when using the AmpliMove medical near or on children.
»Always store the AmpliMove medical in its case to protect it from damage and dust.
»Silicone electrodes used for stimulation with the AmpliMove medical should be
replaced after 100 therapy sessions in order to avoid burns of the skin underneath
the electrodes. Silicone electrodes are losing electrical conductivity with the time.
We recommend to let check your silicone electrodes regularly and to apply enough
contact gel before each stimulation session.
Contra-indication
AmpliMove medical should not be used without having checked with a physician if
the following applies to you:
»Patients with electronic implants such as heart pacemakers, defibrillators or pumps,
»Patients with implants if unpleasant sensation occurs during stimulation,
»Patients with skin disorders in the vicinity of the electrodes,
»Patients with inflammation in the region of application. – particularly vascular
inflammation
»Patients with recent thrombosis in the region of application.
»Patients with cardiac rhythm disorders,
»During pregnancy,
»Patients subject to seizures,
»Patients with malignant diseases in the region of application.
»Stimulation on the stomach region if patient is subject to hernia (rupture)
»Stimulation on the stomach and pelvic floor region if patient is subject to uterine or
vaginal disorders
»Patients with bone disease involving high fracture risks in the region of application.
(e.g. severe osteoporosis),
»Patients who cannot autonomously control the stimulation due to their age or their
psychological condition,
»Patients under the age of five,
»Loss of sensitivity which do not allow to feel the stimulation current,
»Electrode position in the throat area to avoid spasms of respiratory muscles and
cardiovascular response.
Please further consider the contra-indication of anal and vaginal probes.

English
Possible side eects
»Paresthesia (abnormal sensation) during or after stimulation. This can result from
too high intensity, lack of electrode contact to the skin or in the vicinity of sensitive
nerves.
»Pain enhancement or pain provocation if used for the treatment of pain.
»Muscular pain after muscle stimulation (muscle soreness).
»Skin irritation due to the reaction of the electrode material or the current.
»Cardiac arrhythmia (heart rhythm problems) can occur if electrodes are placed
in such way the current is crossing the heart. Electrode placement over the chest
should be avoided by patients with heart rhythm problems.
»Movement limitation due to muscle contractions. The user should take particular
care during muscle sustained contractions since the mobility is then reduced. If the
electrodes are placed on the chest, this can aect the respiration.
