arterial or venous flow in the region of the L300 and/or Thigh FS Cuffs
because of local insufficiency (insufficient blood flow), occlusion (a blood
flow blockage), arteriovenous fistula for the purpose of hemodialysis (an
abnormal connection between an artery and vein), or a primary disorder
of the vasculature (a disease of the blood vessels: arteries, veins, and
lymphatics).

The L300 and Thigh FS Cuffs are to be worn only on the leg of the patient
for whom they have been fitted. They should not be worn by anyone else
or on any other part of the body.
x Skin problems where the L300 and Thigh FS Cuffs are worn may be
aggravated by the NESS L300 Plus System.
x Some patients may experience a skin irritation, an allergic reaction, or
hypersensitivity to the electrical stimulation or the electrical conductive
medium. In some cases, irritation may be avoided by having your clinician
change the stimulation parameters, type of electrodes used, or electrode
placement.
x
After removing the L300 and Thigh FS Cuffs, it is normal for the areas under
the electrodes to be red and indented. The redness should disappear in
approximately one hour. Persistent redness, lesions, or blisters are signs
of irritation. Stop using the NESS L300 Plus System until any irritation
is gone.
