Warnings and Precautions

For a full list of relevant contraindications, warnings, precautions and adverse reactions,
refer to the Empi Phoenix Device User’s Manual.

• Single Patient Use Only: Do not share the garment with other persons because of the
risks of adverse skin reactions and disease transmission.

• Not a brace: The specialized garment is not intended to be used as a brace/lower leg
support.

• Use during activity: This garment is intended to be used in a seated position or in
accordance with your clinician’s orders. Muscle contractions caused by the device
could affect walking or balance.

• Application on broken skin: Should a skin rash or skin burn occur, immediately
discontinue use and contact your physician.

• Power connection: Do not connect the garment to an AC power source or other
equipment not specied as safe for the garment. Doing so could result in severe
shock or burns whether or not the garment is attached to the stimulator. The leadwires
should only be connected to the device and the garment.

• Electrodes: The garment should never be used without the three Phoenix Garment
Electrodes. Thermal burns may result from use without all electrodes. Electrodes
should be securely fastened to prevent inadvertent disconnection. Electrodes will
eventually wear out. Check accessories regularly for signs of wear and replace as
needed.

• Skin reactions: On rare occasions, therapy can result in transient skin reactions such
as rash, inammation, irritation or burns. These skin reactions may be the result of
individual sensitivity, the condition of the skin at the onset of treatment, or a reaction to
the materials in the electrodes or garment.

• Safety: The safety and efcacy of the Empi Phoenix system depend on the proper
use and handling of the product and accessories. Use only as prescribed. Keep out of
reach of children. Keep away from open ame.

• Use with other devices/accessories: Use only the Phoenix device that is specially
designed for this garment. Do not use accessories (including electrodes) or devices
manufactured by other companies on this garment. Empi is not responsible for any
consequence resulting from using products manufactured by other companies.
