    1. Safety information 1.1 General InTENSity Select Combo is a portable electrotherapy device featuring four therapeutic modes : Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (T pain relief and electrical muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends gentle electrical current to underlying nerves and muscle groups via electrodes applied on the skin.
  • Page 5 only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone; however, in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity. HOW TENS WORKS There is nothing “magic” about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
  • Page 6 HOW EMS WORKS The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerves in the treatment area. When the muscle receives this signal it contracts as if the brain has sent the signal itself. As the signal strength increases, the muscle flexes as in physical exercise.

    WHAT IS MICROCURRENT? Microcurrent stimulation is a type of therapy in which very low current is sent into the cells of the body. Microcurrent is a very faint current that is so small it is measured in millionths of an amp (Microamps).

  • Page 11 CAUTIONS: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. For single patient use only. Keep yourself informed of the contraindications. This stimulator not intended for unattended, personal use by patients who have noncompliant, emotionally disturbed, dementia, or low IQ.
  • Page 12 14) Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based on the guidance of prescribing practitioner. 15) Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the management of pain afflicted patients. 16) Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of the electrode placement following long-term application.
  • Page 13 Adverse Reactions: 1) Skin irritation from the electrode gel and electrode burns are potential adverse reactions. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician. Note: Always use electrodes that are legally marketed and sold in the United States under 510K guidelines. 2) If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation Intensity to a comfortable level and contact your physician if any problems persist.
