AccuRelief™ Menstrual Pain Relief TENS Electrotherapy with Heat

1. Remove one of the blue protective films with care. 
2. Attach the gel pads to the electrode area Only attach one gel pad to each electrode. 
3. Remove the transparent protective film slowly and carefully to make sure the gel pads are not damaged.
4. Stick the device onto the painful area. 
5. Briefly hold down the “ON/OFF button” to switch on the device.
6. To switch on electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), briefly press the “ON/OFF button. The “TENS function indicator” flashes. 
7. To start stimulation, press the “increase intensity button” once. The lowest intensity is now activated.
8. If you want to use the TENS function without the heat function, press the “ON/OFF button” again. Now only the “TENS function indicator” is flashing and you can start stimulation by pressing the “increase intensity button.”
9. Select your desired intensity level using the “increase intensity button” / “decrease intensity  button.” 
10. The intensity should be increased continually  throughout the treatment session to maintain an  intense sensation and avoid habituation.
11. After using the device, take care when removing it from your body. Reapply the protective films to the gel pads to protect them.

Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean healthy skin.

DO NOT apply stimulation over the neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in airway closure, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure. 

DO NOT apply stimulation across the chest, because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause heart rhythm disturbances, which could be lethal.

DO NOT apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).

DO NOT apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.

DO NOT apply stimulation in the presence of Electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), which may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.

To avoid damage to health, DO NOT use this device in the following circumstances: If you have implanted electrical devices (e.g., pacemaker); if you have metal implants such as copper coils; if you use an insulin pump; of you have a high fever (e.g., >39°C); if you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia or disorders of the heart’s impulse and conduction system; if you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g., epilepsy); if you are pregnant; if you have cancer. 

After surgery electrical stimulation could cause strong muscle contractions which could affect the healing process.

The electrodes MUST NOT be placed on opposite sides of the chest or in any placement that allows the current to pass through the chest as this can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and include cardiac arrest; on the head around the mouth, throat or larynx, on the front of the neck or side of the neck; in the genital area; on acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin (e.g., inflamed skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes, e.g., allergies, burns, bruises, swellings, both open and healing wounds, and post-operative scars where the healing process could be affected); in humid environments (e.g., in the bathroom) or when bathing or showering; after consuming alcohol; if you are connected to a high-frequency surgical device; in cases of acute or chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. 

Before using this device, consult your doctor if any of the following apply to you: 

• Serious illness, in particular if you suspect or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, a blood coagulation disorder, propensity to thrombo-embolic conditions or in the case of malignant neoplasms
• Skin diseases or open wounds 
• Unexplained chronic pain in any part of the body 
• Diabetes
• Any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling of pain (e.g., metabolic disorders)
• If you are receiving medical treatment
• In the event of complaints linked to the stimulation treatment
• If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term stimulation at the same application site
• Keep this device away from children to prevent potential hazards 

DO NOT use on children.

If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience pain, stop using it immediately and consult your physician.

Switch off the device before attaching or removing it. 

DO NOT modify this device in any way (e.g., by cutting it), as this will produce a higher current density and may be dangerous.

During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying down, to minimize the risk of accidental injuries arising from vagal responses (feeling of faintness) that have been infrequently reported as a side effect. If you feel faint, switch off the device immediately, lie down and support the legs in an elevated position (approx. 5-10 minutes). 

DO NOT use this device while sleeping. 

DO NOT use this device when driving a vehicle or operating machinery.

DO NOT use this device while undertaking any activity where an unexpected reaction (e.g., strong muscle contractions even at low intensity) could be dangerous. 

DO NOT use this device while using other devices that transmit electrical impulses to your body. 

The actual temperature of the device may vary depending on the condition of your skin, your age, the location of the pain, etc.

If the heat function feels too hot, stop treatment IMMEDIATELY. You can continue the TENS treatment without the heat function. 

Wait at least one hour after eating before starting treatment with this device. 

DO NOT use this device on wet skin as this impairs the adhesion of the gel pads. 

Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g., belt buckles or necklaces) come into contact with the device during stimulation. If you are wearing jewelry or have piercings in the area to be treated (e.g., a naval piercing), these MUST be removed before using the device; failure to do this could result in spot burns. 

DO NOT use adhesive tapes, bandages or any medium other than the gel pads provided to adhere the device to your skin, as the uneven adhesion of the gel pads could lead to lesions.

DO NOT use the device in a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment because it is unsafe and with a projectile hazard.
