Warnings for Use of the NESS L300 Foot Drop System

• The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• The Functional Stimulation Cuff (Orthosis) should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions, such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, and so on.
• Simultaneous connection of the NESS L300 to the patient and to highfrequency surgical equipment may result in burns at the site of the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the RF Stim Unit of the Functional Stimulation Cuff (Orthosis).
• Do not use the NESS L300 in close proximity (less than three feet) to short wave or microwave therapy equipment as it may produce instability in the RF Stim Unit output.
• System configuration should only be performed by an authorized clinician.
• The Clinician's Programmer [Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)] used for programming the NESS L300 Control Unit should only contain the Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC operating system and the NESS proprietary software. Third-party software packages are not supported and may interfere with proper operation of the NESS L300 Foot Drop System, thus voiding the warranty.
