SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Intelect® Advanced Therapy System
CAUTIONS
• Inspect Applicator cables and associated connectors before
Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating instructions. Know the limitations and hazards associated with using any electrical stimulation or ultrasound device. Observe the precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit. • DO NOT operate the Intelect Advanced Therapy System when connected to any unit other than Chattanooga Group devices. • DO NOT operate this unit in an environment where other devices are being used that intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy in an unshielded manner. • Ultrasound should be routinely checked before each use to determine that all controls function normally, especially that the intensity control does properly adjust the intensity of the ultrasonic power output in a stable manner. Also, determine that the treatment time control does actually terminate ultrasonic power output when the timer reaches zero. • DO NOT use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen to operate the buttons on the control panel. • This unit should be operated, transported and stored in temperatures between 15° C and 40° C (59° F and 104° F), with Relative Humidity ranging from 30%-60%. • Handle Ultrasound Applicator with care. Inappropriate handling of the Ultrasound Applicator may adversely affect its characteristics. • Before each use, inspect Ultrasound Applicator for cracks, which may allow the ingress of conductive fluid.
each use.
• The Intelect Advanced Therapy System is not designed to prevent the ingress of water or liquids. Ingress of water or liquids could cause malfunction of internal components of the system and therefore create a risk of injury to the patient. • This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Harmful interference to other devices can be determined by turning this equipment on and off. Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following: Reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the separation between the equipment, connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the other device(s) are connected and consult the factory field service technician for help. The Nylatex® Wraps shipped with this unit contain dry natural rubber and may cause allergic reactions in patients with allergies to latex.

WARNINGS
• Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the leads and
These devices are restricted to sale by, or on the order of, a physician or licensed practitioner. This device should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician or licensed practitioner. • For continued protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with ones of the same type and rating. • Make certain the unit is electrically grounded by connecting only to a grounded electrical service receptacle conforming to the applicable national and local electrical codes. • Care must be taken when operating this equipment around other equipment. Potential electromagnetic or other interference could occur to this or to the other equipment. Try to minimize this interference by not using other equipment in conjunction with it. • The safety of TENS waveforms for use during pregnancy or birth has not been established. • TENS is not effective for pain of central origin. (This includes headache.) • TENS should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician or licensed practitioner. • TENS waveforms have no curative value. • TENS is a symptomatic treatment, and as such, suppresses the sensation of pain which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism. • The user must keep the device out of the reach of children. • Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when TENS stimulation is in use.
electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer.
• In the event that an Error message or Warning appears beginning with a 2 or 3, immediately stop all use of the system and contact the dealer or Chattanooga Group for service. Errors and Warnings in these categories indicate an internal problem with the system that must be tested by Chattanooga Group or a Field Service Technician certified by Chattanooga Group before any further operation or use of the system. Use of a system that indicates an Error or Warning in these categories may pose a risk of injury to the patient, user or cause extensive internal damage to the system. • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous exposure to ultrasonic energy. • Before administering any treatment to a patient you should become acquainted with the operating procedures for each mode of treatment available, as well as the indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions. Consult other resources for additional information regarding the application of Electrotherapy and Ultrasound. • To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the unit from the power source before attempting any maintenance procedures. • Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes in contact with each other could result in improper stimulation or skin burns. Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Intelect® Advanced Therapy System
WARNINGS (continued)
Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior 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 difficulty in breathing. • Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmia. • Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, and inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc. • Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions. Output current density is related to electrode size. Improper application may result in patient injury. If any question arises as to the proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner prior to therapy session.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Intelect® Advanced Therapy System
DANGERS
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25 microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia. Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device must not be treated with or be in close proximity to any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy, therapeutic ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy anywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy (shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser) can be transferred through the implanted neurostimulation system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted neurostimulation system is turned “off.”

ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS • 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 a menstruating or pregnant uterus; Over areas of the skin which lack normal sensation. • Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternative conductive medium or an alternative electrode placement. • Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner. • Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the lead wires and electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer.
occur at the site of electrode placement following long-term application. • The effectiveness of TENS waveforms is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in pain management. Adverse Effects • Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes have been reported with the use of powered muscle stimulators. Potential adverse effects with TENS are skin irritation and electrode burns.
