It is a prescription use, self-administered device for use in the home environment at the onset of migraine headache or aura. 4.1.2. CONTRAINDICATIONS I. II. III. The device should not be used by people with congenital heart failure (CHF), severe cardiac or cerebrovascular disease.
Do not use the device over skin conditions, such as open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected or inflamed areas or skin eruptions or fragile skin on your upper arm at the treatment location Do not share the device with other people. The device is intended to be used by a single person to avoid skin disease or any transmissible disease Do not disassemble, crush, incinerate or short-circuit the battery.
Do not use the device past expiration date Check the device for damages. If the device is damaged return it to the manufacturer or contact customer support If the device was damaged, do not touch exposed electronics Do not use the device if the electrodes become significantly dirty or damaged Keep the device in a dry environment.
The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Nerivio Migra® should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used Do not use devices which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the Nerivio Migra® device. This may result in incorrect operation of the device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Do not attempt to perform any procedure before carefully reading all the instructions Do not use the device if the package was damaged during shipment 6.1.1. DOW NLOADING AND INSTALLING THE APPLICATION Step 1: Verify that your phone operating system is compatible with the Nerivio Migra app (Android versions 6 to 9 and iOS versions 9 to 12.1.4). Step 2: Download and install the “Nerivio Migra” application App store (depending on your operating system). via Google play or Step 3: Open the application.
Step 4: A quick introduction will be presented. Read it by swiping the screens to the left and touch “Done” when finished. You can skip it by touching “Skip intro”. Step 5: As you begin using the app, it may ask for permissions. Please allow these permissions so that the app works properly. 6.1.2. THE APP HOME SCREEN The home screen provides access to information about your migraine treatments and the Nerivio Migra system.
The home screen includes: Treatment – This section enables to initiate, control, monitor and stop a treatment session. Migraine diary – This section enables you to review and edit your migraine symptoms.
Step 2: In the home screen touch “Settings” and then touch “Connect”. The device and the smartphone should be in proximity of less than 1 inch. When the device is successfully connected to the app, there will be a fast flashing green indicator light on the device. The connection status can be viewed in the app on the bottom left corner of the screen. If a connection has not been established, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled in your smartphone.
when no treatment was initiated, it automatically shuts down. Turn it back on to start a treatment. 6.2. TREATING A MIGRAINE EPISODE The treatment should be performed at the onset of a migraine episode and takes 45 minutes. For effective results, you should start the treatment as soon as you feel the first symptoms of the migraine and within the first hour (60 minutes) of the migraine symptoms onset (headache and/or aura). Before you begin, make sure the smartphone Bluetooth connection is enabled.
Step 4: Open the app and confirm the device is connected successfully. The connection status can be viewed in the app on the bottom left corner of the screen. Also verify that there is at least one remaining treatment on the bottom right corner of the app screen. Step 5: Carefully remove the protective film from the electrodes and save it for storing the device and maintaining the electrode adhesiveness between uses.
Step 6: Place the device on your upper arm so that the electrodes are in contact with your skin and the LED indicator is facing outwards. The device should be located midway between the elbow and the shoulder. Place the device directly on the skin and not on your shirt. Step 7: Wrap the sleevelet around the device on your arm to improve the contact between the device and your skin.
Do not use the device on wet skin or when bathing, showering, during exercise, while sweating or in high humidity Do not use the device while driving, cycling, or operating any vehicle or machinery Do not use the device if the electrodes become significantly dirty or damaged If the device was damaged, do not touch exposed electronics Do not use the device in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms) Keep the device in a dry environment.
a) Start increasing the stimulation intensity using the "+" button. Each press will increase the intensity by 1 unit. b) When the stimulation is painful and/or uncomfortable, reduce the intensity to the previous level using the "-" button. Each press will decrease the intensity by 1 unit.
6.2.1. TREATMENT IN PROGRESS The progress of the treatment can be monitored by the treatment progress bar and by the specified amount of time that has passed out of the total treatment duration time (45 minutes). You can pause the treatment session for 5 minutes by touching ‘Pause’. Press ‘Resume’ to restart. Each session can only be interrupted 3 times. If a treatment is not resumed within 5 minutes, it will be stopped automatically. The treatment can be stopped early at any time by touching “Stop”.
During the treatment, you may experience slight muscle spasm, numbness of the hand and irritation of the skin. These sensations should resolve soon after the end of treatment. If you experience an uncomfortable or painful sensation that does not resolve by decreasing the intensity, stop the treatment using the “Stop” button or remove the device from your arm. Note that if the device was on for over 3 minutes when no treatment was in progress, it automatically shuts down.
Step 3: Place the device in its original package or in the travel bag store it for next use. Step 4: Close the app. Note that if your migraine headache is not aborted 30 minutes following treatment, you may administer additional treatments. 6.3. STORING THE DEVICE FOR NEXT USE Once the treatment has been completed, the device needs to be stored until the next treatment. Step 1: Verify that the electrodes are covered with the protective film.
• • • • The sleevelet can be machine washed at 80°F or 30°C. No bleach products should be used. Do not tumble dry. To minimize moisture loss, when unused, the electrodes should be covered by the provided protective film and the device should be stored in its original package. Contact customer support if the package and/or device labeling are damaged. The life of the electrodes varies depending on skin conditions, skin preparation, storage and climate.
