📋 Complete Session Protocol

Follow these steps exactly for every session

Pre-Session Screening (5 minutes)

CRITICAL: Ask about implanted electrical devices (absolute contraindication)
Verify ALL magnetic jewelry is removed (will heat up and burn)
Remove smart watches and fitness trackers
Verify waiver is signed and on file in EFS app
Ask about pregnancy (requires written doctor’s approval)
Check for other contraindications (seizures, recent surgery)
Confirm no medications taken in last 2 hours
Ensure client understands 2-hour post-session window

Equipment Setup

Inspect equipment for any damage
Clean charging plates and PCS/Bulb with approved cleaner
Position chair/table at proper distance from unit
Ensure area is clear of metal objects and plants
Double-check client has NO magnetic jewelry on
Verify smart watches and fitness trackers are removed
Have timer ready (phone on airplane mode is OK)

Client Positioning

Seat client comfortably facing the unit
Place PCS/Bulb in their hands (glass down, cable up)
Secure with elastic wrap if needed
Guide bare feet onto charging plates
Ensure full foot contact with plates

Session Management (10-20 minutes)

Turn on VACS and activate unit
Increase amplitude above blue area in LESS than 8 seconds
If user says it’s too intense: have them lift ONE foot to reduce intensity
First session: Monitor continuously – NEVER leave unattended
Experienced users: Check periodically, may be more independent
Adjust amplitude as needed throughout
At 10 minutes: optional leg shake exercise
Watch for any signs of discomfort
Assist if nose itches (very common)

Session Completion

Have client lift feet off plates (or simply turn off unit)
Turn off unit immediately
Remove PCS/Bulb from hands
Allow client to sit for a moment before standing
Remind about 2-hour medication/alcohol window
Encourage water consumption
Schedule follow-up if requested

⚠️ Professional Boundaries – CRITICAL

Violating these boundaries risks your certification, facility insurance, and client safety

NEVER Make These Statements:

❌ “This will cure your [condition]”
❌ “You need X number of sessions”
❌ “This will definitely help with [symptom]”
❌ “You can stop taking your medication”
❌ “I think you have [diagnosis]”
❌ “Studies show this treats [disease]”

✅ APPROPRIATE Responses:

✅ “Each person’s experience is unique”
✅ “I recommend discussing that with your doctor”
✅ “EFS is not a medical treatment”
✅ “Some people report feeling more relaxed”
✅ “Let me explain how the technology works”
✅ “Would you like to schedule another session?”

🚨 Safety Protocols & Emergency Procedures

Absolute Contraindications – DO NOT PROCEED:

Never admit fault or speculate about causes

💬 Handling Common Client Questions

Client: “Can I keep my Apple Watch on?”

Your Response: “No, all smart watches and fitness trackers must be removed before your session. These electronic devices can interfere with the equipment and for your safety need to be set aside. You can place it with your other belongings and put it back on right after your session.”

Client: “It feels too intense!”

Your Response: “No problem, let me help you adjust that. Please lift one foot off the plate – that will reduce the intensity by half. You can also put it back down when you’re ready. I can also lower the amplitude setting if needed. We want you to be comfortable throughout your session.”

Client: “Will this help my arthritis?”

Your Response: “EFS is not a medical treatment, and I can’t make claims about specific conditions. Each person’s experience is unique. Some people report feeling more relaxed after sessions. I’d recommend discussing any health concerns with your doctor.”

Client: “How many sessions will I need?”

Your Response: “That’s entirely up to you! Since everyone’s experience is different, there’s no set number of sessions. You’re welcome to schedule sessions as often as you’d like based on your personal experience and schedule.”

Client: “Can I stop taking my medication?”

Your Response: “Never change your medication without consulting your doctor. EFS sessions are not medical treatments and aren’t intended to replace any medical care. Please discuss any medication changes with your healthcare provider.”

Client: “Why can’t I take medications for 2 hours?”

Your Response: “Research suggests cellular activity may be enhanced after a session, which could affect how substances are absorbed. The 2-hour window before and after sessions is a safety precaution to ensure your medications work as intended.”

You are a trained equipment operator, not a medical practitioner. Your expertise is in safely facilitating EFS sessions, not in diagnosing or treating conditions. When in doubt, refer to healthcare providers and contact EFS Corporate for guidance.
