NOTE: The electrodes supplied with this Avid IF 2 have been designed
and authorized specifically for use with this product and must not be
manipulated, cut, or altered in any way as this may affect the even
distribution of stimulation and/or its intensity beyond the recommended
0.25W per cm
2
maximum.
NOTE: Do not place electrodes on cut, broken or irritated skin. If irri-
tation occurs, consult with your physician or therapist before changing
your placement sites.

Electrode Use and Care
WARNING: This product should be used only under the direct super-vision of
a registered healthcare practitioner. Product use should be in accordance with
the directions and specifications of the stimulation device. Improper use of this
or any electrode may result in a patient burn. Due to the potential for causing
skin burns, devices must be limited to 0.25W per cm
2
. Electrodes should not be
placed on the chest in such a configuration that would allow electrical current
delivered by the Avid IF 2 to flow through the chest as it may cause cardiac
arrhythmia.
