If you have an implanted electrical device such as a pacemaker, cochlear implant or an intrathecal pump we do not recommend you apply PEMF sessions because there is a risk that the magnetic field produced by a PEMF device can shut the device off or otherwise interfere with its function. Pacemakers built after the year 2000 are fine, (so called Bipolar pacemakers) - check with your doctor.
If an individual has a magnetisable prostheses they can't use PEMF.
If you are actively bleeding wait until the bleeding stops before using PEMF.
Those with neurological conditions that can cause seizure (e.g epilepsy) are advised to be cautious when using PEMF therapy.
Whilst there is no evidence of harm caused by using PEMF's during pregnancy, their safety has not yet been established.
PEMF sessions are not advised after an organ transplant as overstimulation could increase the risk of rejection. Transplant patients are on immune suppression medications to prevent organ rejection. PEMF's boost the immune system and can cause the transplanted organ to be rejected.
If you have metal plates, from a surgery operation, or any metal implants, there is absolutely NO contradictions, because the intensity is so low that it will not interfere with any surgical plate inside you.
If you have any surgery clips or any metal screws, you can use the PEMF system without restriction.
