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.

Phoenix Garment User Manual

Storage

• Gently remove the garment. The Phoenix Garment Electrodes will lift off of your skin

and stay attached to the wrap. Electrodes should remain on wrap for storage. If the

electrodes remain on your skin instead of the garment, remove them from your skin

and place them back on the garment in the appropriate location.

• Replace the saved liner on the electrodes. Be sure to place the “ON” side against the

Phoenix Garment Electrode surface.

• Store the garment in its original bag until next treatment. Re-applying the liners, folding

up after each use, and storing the wrap in re-sealable bag will prolong the life of the

Phoenix Garment Electrodes.

Maintenance

Check the specialized garment before each use for signs of wear and/or damage. Make

sure that the electrodes have good tack so that they will stick well to the skin.

Replace the Phoenix Garment Electrodes as required. See “Electrode Use” section for

Phoenix Garment Electrodes maintenance suggestions. When electrodes are no longer

useful, dispose of them in a receptacle out of the reach of children or pets.

If needed, you may wash the Phoenix Garment. See label on wrap for washing

instructions. Make sure the garment is dry before using it. With proper care, this garment

is designed to have a life of six months.
