Beurer EM 38 - Manual (Page 18)

Problem/question Possible cause/remedy
You feel an unpleasant sensation
from the electrodes.
The electrodes are poorly moistened. This can lead to skin irritation, as
the current is no longer distributed evenly over the entire surface. Switch
off the unit. Take off the belt, moisten the belt (electrodes) and your lower
back and restart the program according to the manual.
The skin in the treatment area
becomes red.
Discontinue the treatment immediately and wait until the skin condi-
tion has normalised. Temporary skin reddening under the electrode is
harmless and can be explained by the localised increase in blood flow.
However, if the skin irritation persists and you feel itching or irritation,
consult your doctor before continuing use. The cause may be an allergy
to the surface of the electrode.
