DYNATRON® 25 SERIES™ | OPERATOR’S MANUAL 69
Contraindications,
Warnings, & Precautions
for Interferential, Premodulated, Russian, Biphasic, and High Voltage Pulsed Stimulation.
Contraindications
rombosis. It is possible that the current produces chemical changes in the blood leading to alterations in the clotting time.
At present there is no specic scientic evidence to support this. Nevertheless, treatment must not be given to any patient
who is taking anticoagulants as it may render these ineective. e eect of the current is on the platelets and would tend
to spread any clot with perhaps fatal results in a patient with coronary thrombosis. If a patient has a history of deep vein
thrombosis, even many years past, the treatment may increase rather than decrease swelling.
Implanted Electronic Devices. Patients with Implanted Electronic Devices (for example a cardiac pacemaker) should not
be subjected to stimulation.
Cardiac Conditions. e electrodes should be placed to avoid the stellate ganglion and the heart itself. If there is a potential
for heart problems, the clinician must exercise professional judgment and use adequate precautions. e clinician should not
expose the patient to risk if possible heart problems are suspected.
Bacterial Infections. e eect on bacteria is uncertain, and it is advisable that bacterial infections should not be treated.
Malignancy. e use of Interferential, Premodulated, High Volt, Biphasic, or Russian Stim treatment is contraindicated in
patients with clinically diagnosed cancer.
