Safety and usage information

Arca is a TENS device intended to support pain management. It is not a diagnostic tool or a cure. Read the instructions supplied with your device before first use and follow them if they differ from this general summary.

Do not use without medical advice if

• You have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or another implanted electronic medical device.
• You are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.
• You have epilepsy, a heart condition, unexplained pain, reduced sensation or another condition that could affect safe use.

Pad placement

• Use only on clean, dry, healthy skin.
• Do not place pads on broken, irritated, infected or numb skin.
• Do not place pads on the head, front or sides of the neck, directly over the spine, or across the chest so current could pass through the heart.
• Do not use near water or while driving, operating machinery, bathing or sleeping.

Using the device

• Start at the lowest intensity and increase gradually to a strong but comfortable tingling sensation.
• Do not use damaged pads, cables or equipment.
• Stop use if you experience pain, dizziness, skin irritation or any unexpected reaction.
• Keep the device and pads away from children.
