TENS- Symmetrical Biphasic

The Symmetrical Biphasic waveform has a short pulse duration
and is capable of strong stimulation of nerve fibers in the skin
and in muscle. This waveform is often used in portable muscle
stimulation units, and some TENS devices. Because of its short
pulse duration, the patient typically tolerates the current well,
even at relatively high intensities.

TENS- Alternating Rectangular

The Alternating Rectangular waveform is an interrupted biphasic
current with a rectangular pulse shape. This waveform is
commonly used as a pain management application.

Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in
certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25 microcoulombs
(µC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause
electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow
through the thorax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
