Risks
There is a risk of rash underneath the Pain Relief Pad area. If you have sensitive skin
and routinely might have contact dermatitis (a rash), for example, from removing a
Band-Aid
®
from the skin, then there is a risk of rash upon removal of the Pain Relief
Pads.
The device is programmed to deliver a limited amount of energy through the skin,
to protect against discomfort. However, it is also important for protecting against
discomfort, that BioWaveGO
®
not be used on any area of your body that you are
concerned may be overly sensitive to the impulses from the stimulator, for example,
on sunburned skin.
There is a risk of infection if the Pain Relief Pads are placed on broken skin. Infection
can be avoided by using the stimulator and placing Pain Relief Pads on intact skin.
Pain Relief Pads may be placed over healed scar tissue or over tatoos.
