data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical
equipment). Most computers manufactured by major suppliers
meet the IEC 60950 standard. If in doubt, consult with
your local information technology support.
Adverse Reactions
Patients may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the
stimulation electrodes applied to the skin.
Patients may experience headache and other painful sensations

the eyes and to the head and face.
Patients should stop using the device and should consult
with their physicians if they experience adverse reactions
from the device.
