2. How your O² Patch works

If you have decided to stop smoking, your O² Patch will effectively support you in keeping the unpleasant effects of nicotine withdrawal as low as possible. Typical effects are: ■ constant desire (anguish) for nicotine and depression ■ irritability, excessive appetite and sleep disorders. These symptoms lead to physical reactions and nervousness, which generally are difficult to control. Your O² Patch is an electronic Anti-Tobacco Patch, which is effective without nicotine or other active chemically-acting substances, and will therefore not lead to the undesirable effects of such substances. Use of the O² Patch will help ease nervousness, excessive appetite and sleeping problems: Using a microprocessor-controlled stimulation program, current-induced stimuli of varying duration and intensity are transmitted to the nervous system. These stimuli are not painful. You will only feel a slight tingling sensation on the skin. Try to get away from the nicotine addiction in two phases: Addicted smokers typically have a habit such as lighting a cigarette before feeling the actual desire for nicotine. This habit should be recognized – it is best done with the support of a smoker counseling group. During the first phase your O² Patch will help you break down the habit in that it lowers typical states of tension. The objective of its application is to refrain from the habit of reaching for the cigarette.

When the urge for the cigarette becomes irresistible, you should consciously smoke no more than one cigarette. After this, you may not smoke again until the next irresistible urge develops. During the first phase, which should last one to two weeks, daily application of your O² Patch for only 30 to 60 minutes in your neck area suffices. The second phase is intended to completely end the addiction to tobacco. After your tobacco consumption has stabilized around 4-5 cigarettes a day, you will stimulate two areas: ■ neck ■ upper abdomen (Plexus) The stimulation program is designed to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms, such as nervousness, excessive appetite and sleeping problems. During the second phase, which should likewise last one to two weeks, daily application of your O² Patch for only about 30 minutes on each stimulation point suffices.

3. Your safety is important to us

The stimulation current can interfere with the function of your implant. ► if you suffer from seizures. In severe cases the stimulation current can trigger convulsions. ► when pregnant. In severe cases the stimulation current can trigger contractions. ► if you suffer from allergic skin reactions. The electrodes and patch can lead to skin irritations. ► if you suffer from systemic illnesses, i.e. those affecting the entire body. ► if the O² Patch is damaged. The stimulation current can lead to aches and skin irritations.

The stimulation current can lead to muscle cramping and possibly to suffocation. ► such that the current flows directly across the heart (e.g. in direct vicinity of the heart). The stimulation current can lead to ventricular fibrillation and in severe cases to cardiac arrest. ► such that the current flows directly across the brain (e.g. on the temples). The stimulation current can trigger convulsions. During the second phase, stimulate the neck (Zone 1) and upper abdomen (Zone 2)

6.1 On which stimulation points may you apply your O² Patch?

During your applications, maintain a minimum distance of 1 m to microwave devices and short-wave devices. Electromagnetic interaction may impair the function of the O² Patch.
