• Electrodes should not be placed on the chest in such a confi guration that would
allow electrical current delivered by the device to fl ow through the chest because
it might cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
• Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally.
• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or infl amed areas or skin
eruptions, e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
• Due to the potential for causing skin burns, this device should only be used with
electrodes which limit the current density to 0.25W/cm

• Stimulation should not be applied transthorasically in that the introduction of electrical
current may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
Precautions
• Safety of stimulators for use during pregnancy has not been established.
• Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed heart problems.
• Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy.
• Caution should be used in the presence of the following:
- When there is a tendency to hemorrhage following acute trauma or fracture
- Following recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction may disrupt
the healing process
- Over the menstruating or pregnant uterus
- Over areas of the skin which lack normal sensation
• Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to electrical
stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced
by using an alternative conductive medium or alternate electrode placement.
• Electrode placement and stimulation setting should be based on the guidance of
the prescribing practitioner.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Use only with the lead wires and electrodes recommended for use by
the manufacturer.
• Portable stimulators should not be used while driving, operating machinery, or
during any activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at
undue risk of injury.
• When the amplitude in the IF mode exceeds 40mA, electrical noise from the
device could interfere with other equipment operating in the nearby area.
• Do not trim electrodes as cut edges can affect even distribution of stimulation.
• Do not immerse electrodes in water.
Adverse reactions
Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes have occasionally been reported
with the use of electrical stimulators. If you experience any symptoms of skin
irritation or any unusual reactions while using the SurgiStim4, discontinue use
immediately and contact VQ OrthoCare’s Patient Care Department at 800.452.7993
or consult your physician.
