When using a physiotherapy device, you need to pay attention to the following aspects to ensure safe and effective physiotherapy:


1. Preparation before use

Understand the equipment: Before purchasing and using a physiotherapy device, please confirm that the relevant equipment is a medical device, has a medical device registration certificate, and is purchased through formal channels. Read the instructions carefully to understand the functions, operating methods, indications, contraindications, and possible adverse reactions of the device.

Inspect the equipment: Before use, please confirm that the physiotherapy device, wires, power cords, and all accessories are intact, without aging, cracking, exposed wires, poor connections, and other abnormal appearance. Ensure that the electrodes or probes are clean, dry, and properly installed.

Assess your physical condition: Understand your purpose of use and existing symptoms. If you have metal implants (such as pacemakers), hemorrhagic diseases, cancer, and other serious diseases, please consult a doctor first. Pregnant women, children, and the elderly should also be extra cautious when using it.


2. Precautions during use

Skin preparation: Ensure that the skin at the treatment site and nearby is clean, dry, and free of wounds, rashes, or infections. If there is a metal foreign body, the treatment should be avoided at that part.

Placing electrodes: Professionals should place the electrodes or probes of the physiotherapy device on the treatment part and ensure close contact to make the conduction uniform, and avoid the electrodes from tilting up and causing the current to concentrate at individual points, irritating or burning the skin.

Adjusting parameters: Under the guidance of a doctor, select the appropriate physiotherapy mode and intensity, and adjust the treatment time. At the beginning, adjust the intensity to the lowest level and gradually increase it to a comfortable level.

Stay alert: Pay close attention to your physical condition during use. If you have systemic reactions such as headache, dizziness, general discomfort, fatigue, palpitations, or local reactions such as pain in the treatment part, papular dermatitis, and skin burns under the electrode, you should stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.

Avoid interference: When using the physiotherapy device, avoid using it at the same time with other electronic devices to avoid interference. At the same time, do not use it when you are sleeping or not concentrating.


3. Post-use processing

Shut down in time: After completing the treatment, turn off the physiotherapy device in time, turn off the power and properly put the device away.

Clean the device: Wipe the surface of the device with a clean soft cloth to keep it clean. The electrodes should be properly stored to avoid contamination.

Observe the effect: Observe the physical condition after use and evaluate the effect of physical therapy. If severe pain or other discomfort occurs, seek medical attention immediately.


4. Other precautions

Regular inspection: Check the equipment regularly for damage and repair it in time if there is any problem. Avoid high temperature, humidity, direct sunlight and other environments during storage.

Follow the doctor's advice: The physical therapy device can only assist in relieving symptoms and cannot replace drugs, surgery and other treatments for diseases. Those with serious conditions should seek medical treatment and follow the doctor's advice and guidance.

Avoid abuse: Do not rely too much on the physical therapy device to avoid adverse consequences caused by excessive use or abuse.


When using the physical therapy device, you need to pay attention to many aspects to ensure safe and effective physical therapy. During use, you should pay close attention to your physical condition. If you have any discomfort or abnormal reaction, you should stop using it immediately and seek medical attention.
