Tri-Tronics Bark Limiter – OLD - Manual (Page 15)

PRODUCT SAFETY
Clinical animal safety studies have been designed
and conducted for Tri-Tronics by veterinarians and
physiologists at a major university. The scientific
studies tested for possible cardiopulmonary and
epidermal effects of Tri-Tronics’ electrical stimulation
applied to the ventral surface of the neck of healthy
dogs. These studies showed that there were no
clinically significant changes in electrocardiograms,
blood pressures, or properties of the skin underlying
the contact points.
The clinical investigations involved parameters of
electrical stimulation (e.g., maximum output voltage,
output impedance, current density, and repetition rate)
that were basically the same as those of the Bark
Limiter. The safety of the Bark Limiter is strongly
supported by the scientific, clinical data.
Tri-Tronics Bark Limiters have an independent circuit
in the collar designed to inhibit excessive electrical
stimulation. Like all other parts of our products, these
safety circuits receive special attention in Tri-Tronics’
environmental, reliability, and quality analysis.
To guard against skin irritation due to rubbing, inspect
the dog’s neck at least once a day, especially in the early
stages of use. The possibility that irritation will occur,
although small, increases with the length of time the
collar is on the dog. Read “About Skin Irritation” on
page 11 of this manual.
Note: Even though Tri-Tronics products are safe, they
are intended for use only on healthy dogs. It is always
wise to have your dog checked by a veterinarian before
any type of training.
