Warnings and Safety Measures

The following are general warnings and safety measures that you should review before using the OHM Fitness Training System: 

• Only use the OHM Fitness Training System with the provided EMPower suit. 
• The OHM Fitness Training System is only for use by adults. 
• Do not use the suit on parts of the body it was not designed for such as using the arm straps on the calves. 
• Do not touch the inside of the suit with your hands during training. If a suit adjustment is needed, stop the training first and then adjust. 
• No modification of the OHM Fitness Training System equipment is allowed. 
• Do not charge the EMPower Pack while it is attached to the suit. 
• Stimulation should not be applied near metal. Remove all jewelry, body piercings, belt buckles, or any other removable metallic product or device in areas of stimulation. 
• Stimulation should not be applied over the neck (specifically the carotid sinus nerves), particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex. 
• Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe spasms of the neck or airway muscles may occur, and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing. 
• Although the design of the OHM Fitness Training System prevents electro current from crossing the chest cavity (transthoracically), please be advised that stimulation should not be applied across the chest cavity to prevent electro current from reaching the heart, where it could cause an irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmias). 
• Stimulation should not be applied to the head or any sites that may cause electro stimulation to pass through the head (transcerebrally). The effects of stimulation of the brain have not been established yet. 
• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas (e.g.e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins). 
• The long-term effects of chronic electro stimulation have not yet been established. 
• Stimulation should not be applied over or in proximity to, cancerous lesions. 
• Do not apply stimulation to muscle groups if you have any concerns related to your comfort or safety. 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System if connected to any electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG devices). These devices may not operate properly when electro stimulation is in use. 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System in water or a humid atmosphere (sauna, hydrotherapy, etc.). 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System in an oxygen-rich area, such as in the presence of oxygen tanks. 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System while driving, operating machinery, cycling, or during any activity in which electro stimulation can put you at risk of injury to yourself or others. 
• Do not apply stimulation while sleeping. 
• Keep the OHM Fitness Training System device and its accessories out of reach of children and pets. 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System on animals. 
• Do not allow any foreign objects (soil, water, metal, etc.) to enter the EMPower Pack. 
• Do not tamper with the suit or EMPower Pack (e.g., by trying to open them). 
• Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to build up inside the EMPower Pack. Only use once temperatures have returned to normal. 
• Do not overexert yourself during electro muscle stimulation training. Any training should be at a level comfortable for you. 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System if you are connected to a high-frequency surgical instrument as this could cause skin irritations or burns under the pads. 
• Do not use the OHM Fitness Training System near shortwave or microwave therapy medical equipment. This may lead to instability in the EMPower Pack. 
• The OHM Fitness Training System must not be used near medical devices such as MRI, CT, diathermy, and X-Ray as those could alter the current generated by the EMPower Pack, cause tissue damage, and result in severe injury or death.
• The OHM Fitness Training System must not be used in areas where unprotected devices are used to emit electromagnetic radiation. Portable communications equipment, RFID, and electromagnetic security systems (e.g., metal detectors and EAS) can interfere with the OHM Fitness Training System and alter the current generated by it.
