eOn children or people with no ability to express their

own consciousness.

eIf you have been diagnosed with or have any reason to believe that you

may be suffering from, Deep Vein Thrombosis (“DVT”).

eIf suffering from haemorrhage after acute trauma or fractures, or if

recovering from surgery.

4

ADVERSE REACTIONS

eUse of the device may cause irritation to the skin beneath

the electrodes.

eBurns beneath the electrodes have also been reported in

the literature.

eApplication of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of

cardiac fibrillation.

eAllergic reactions to the gel adhesive may be possible.

eLong-term stimulation of the same area may cause skin irritation.

WARNINGS

eDo not place electrodes over the neck because this could cause severe

muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty breathing,

or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.

eDo not place electrodes across the chest because the introduction of

electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to the

heart which could be lethal.

eDo not place electrodes over open wounds, rashes, or over swollen,

red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis,

thrombophlebitis, and varicose veins).

eDo not place electrodes over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.

eDo not place electrodes on the genitals.

eElectrodes should be applied only to normal, intact, clean and

healthy skin.

eIncorrect application of electrodes could result in discomfort or

burning of the skin.

eDo not share electrodes with other persons because of the risks of

adverse skin reactions and disease transmission.

eAs Ellune is a TENS device, it is intended for symptomatic treatment

and has no curative effect.

eElectronic devices (such as an ECG and others) may not operate

properly when TENS stimulation is in progress.

CAUTION:

eTurn Ellune off before applying or removing the electrodes.

eTENS is not recommended for patients with heart disease who have

not received a medical evaluation of possible adverse effects.

eTENS should not be used to alleviate an undiagnosed pain syndrome

until the etiology has been well established.

eEllune should not be used for ovulation pain (mid-cycle pain).

eEllune should not be used while fertility problems are being evaluated,

diagnosed, or treated.

5

EN

eEllune should not be used during pregnancy, labour or breastfeeding.

eBatteries are rechargeable; batteries should not be replaced by

unauthorised personnel.

eTo avoid cross-contamination, electrodes are intended to be used by

one person only.

eTo avoid potential contamination, use the electrodes only on intact skin

for no longer than 10 hours at a time.

eKeep Ellune dry. Do not expose the device to a wet environment and do

not use when bathing or showering.

CAUTIONS

eUse caution while using Ellune in tandem with any monitoring

equipment with body-worn electrode pads. Ellune may interfere with

the signals being monitored.

eStrong electromagnetic fields may affect the correct operation of

this device. If unusual phenomena are observed, move away from

electromagnetic fields.

eUse caution following recent surgical procedures. Electrical

stimulation may disrupt the healing process.

eSince the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation

electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the head.

eThe long-term effects of cutaneous electrodes for electrical

stimulation on the human body are unknown.

eKeep electrodes out of the reach of children.

eUse caution if electrodes are applied over areas of skin that lack

normal sensation.

eReplace self-adhesive electrodes if they no longer stick firmly to

the skin.

eDo not charge the device while using it.

eDo not operate the device when electrodes are not connected. Make

sure the device is off before removing or connecting the electrodes.

eUse caution, if operating machinery or driving, to ensure that electrical

stimulation or involuntary muscle contraction is not dangerous.

eDo not use this device while you sleep to avoid the risk of pain,

inflammation, or burns due to excessive intensity adjustment that you

would not be able to control for lack of alertness.

Do not place electrodes:

eOn broken skin.

eOn skin which does not have normal sensation. If the skin is numb, too

great a strength may be used in the Ellune and this could result in

skin inflammation.

6

eOn the front of the neck. Doing so could cause the airway to close,

affecting breathing, or causing a sudden drop in blood pressure

(vasovagal response).

eOver the eyes. Doing so may affect eyesight or cause headaches.

eAcross the front of the head. The effect on patients who have had

strokes or seizures is unknown.

eOver, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.

Do not:

eIgnore any allergic reaction to the electrodes. If skin irritation

develops, stop using the device.

eImmerse your device unit in water or place it close to excessive

heat – this may cause the device to cease operating correctly.

eAttempt to open up the device - there are no serviceable components

and there is a risk of electric shock.

eUse this device with electrodes other than those recommended by the

manufacturer – performance and safety may be compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I use Ellune for?

Ellune can be used as long as you are experiencing period pain.

The electrode pads should be removed and the site of application adjusted

at least every 10 hours. Regularly changing the site of application will

reduce the risk of skin irritation.

What is the right intensity level for me?

The right intensity level is one that feels comfortable for you and where it

begins to match the intensity of your pain.

How does Ellune work?

Ellune works by sending high-frequency electrical signals that are both

continuous and mild to block out the pain signals being delivered to the

brain. This is sometimes known as the “gate” control effect because it

reduces transmission of pain. When these pain signals are halted, pain

is not felt by the reactive area and the patient gets relief. Electrotherapy

also helps activate the natural pain control response, releasing beta

endorphins that ease the pain felt by the patient.

Can I use Ellune in combination with medication?

Yes, you can use Ellune in combination with medication you may be taking

Where can I obtain replacement parts and accessories?

Visit www.paingone.com or contact your local distributor

Can I place one pad on my abdomen and one on my back?

The maximum distance apart the electrode pads can be placed is 10cm.

To apply Ellune to the abdomen and the back at the same time requires 2x

Ellune devices.
