Indications

The PoNS^® device is indicated for use as a short term treatment of gait deficit due to mild to moderate symptoms from multiple sclerosis and is to be used as an adjunct to a supervised therapeutic exercise program for adults 22 years of age and over by prescription only.

Contraindications

The PoNS^® device delivers electrical stimulation directly to the surface of the tongue. Precautions for use are similar to those for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

Electrical stimulation should not be used:

If there is an active or suspected malignant tumor
In areas of recent bleeding or open wounds
In areas that lack normal sensation

The PoNS^® has not been tested on, and thus should not be used by individuals who are pregnant. Do not use the PoNS^® if you are sensitive to nickel, gold or copper.
