User’s Guide
• The NESS L300 Plus System should not be used on a leg where a regional
disorder, such as a fracture or dislocation, could be adversely affected
by motion from the stimulation.
Warnings
• The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• The NESS L300 Plus FS Cuffs should not be worn over swollen, infected,
or inflamed areas or skin eruptions, such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
and varicose veins.
• Simultaneous connection of the NESS L300 Plus to the patient and high-
frequency surgical equipment may result in skin burns where the stimulator
electrodes adhere and damage to the RF Stim Units.
• Do not use the NESS L300 Plus within three feet of shortwave or microwave
therapy equipment. Such equipment may produce instability in the output
