    SAFETY INFORMATON 1.1 General MT9000 Combo is a portable electrotherapy device featuring four therapeutic modes: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS),Electrical Muscle Stimulation(EMS),lnterferential(lF), and Microcurrent(MIC) which are used for pain relief and electrical muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends gentle electrical current to underlying nerves and muscle group via electrodes applied on the skin.
  • Page 5 EXPLANATION OF EMS Electrical Muscle Stimulation 1EMS) is an internationally accepted and proven way of treating muscular injuries. It works by sending electronic pulses to the muscle needing treatment; this causes the muscle to exercise passively. It is a product derived from the square waveform(ladder-shaped).Through the square wave pattern it is able to work directly on muscle motor neurons.
  • Page 6: Indications For Use

    1.3 Indications for use MT9000 ComboTENS/EMS/IF/MIC Stimulator may be used for the following conditions: 1) Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain 2) Post traumatic pain 3) post surgical pain 4) Relaxation of muscle spasm. 5) Increase of blood flow circulation...
  • Page 7: Warnings, Cautions, Adverse Reactions

    4) Electrodes must not be applied to sites that might cause current/stimulation to flow through the carotid sinus region (anterior neck) or transcerebrally (through the head). 5) Do not use this device if the patient has a demand-type cardiac pacemaker or any imnplanted defibrillator, 6) This device should not be used over poorly innervated areas.
  • Page 8 10) Stimulation should not take place while the user is connected to high- frequency surgical equipment. It may cause burn injuries in the skin under the electrodes, as well as problems with the stimulator. 11) Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave therapy equipment, since this may affect the output power of the stimulator.
  • Page 9 6) The indications for use are listed above. Use for any other purpose may be dangerous. 7) Do not use this device for undiagnosed pain syndromes until you have consulted a physician. 8) Patients with an implanted electronic device, such as a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or any other metallic or electronic device should not use this device without first consulting a doctor.
  • Page 10 19) This device should not be used while driving, operating machinery, close to water, or during any activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk of injury. 20) Never use the device in rooms where aerosols (sprays) are used or pure oxygen is being administered.
