  • Page 3: Foreword

    1. Foreword The 3-in-1 COMBO is a dual channel output TENS, EMS and MASSAGE stimulator. Before using, please read all of the instructions in this user manual carefully and keep it safe for future reference. The unit has three functions - TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) and MASSAGE.
  • Page 4 1.2 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.2.1 About pain Pain is felt in an injured area when messages travel to the brain, along small nerves leading to the spinal cord. These messages are then transmitted via other nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. At the brain, they are decoded, analysed and reacted to.

    2. Safety information 2.1 INTENDED USE The 3-in-1 COMBO stimulator is specifically designed for home use by adults. It is intended for the relief and management of pain and the stimulation and massaging of muscles. This unit provides the user with three modes.
  • Page 6 2.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS See page 40 for safety symbols.

  • Page 7 2.2.2 Warning 1) If you have had medical or physical treatment for pain, consult with your physician before use. 2) If your pain has not lessened, or becomes more than mild, then please consult with your physician. 3) Do not apply stimulation at the front or at the side of your neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in the closure of your airways, difficulty breathing, or adverse effects on your heart...
  • Page 8 12) Stimulation should not take place while the user is connected to high-frequency hospital equipment, which may cause burn injuries on the skin under the electrodes, as well as problems with the unit. 13) Do not use the unit in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave therapy equipment since this may affect the output power of the stimulator.
  • Page 9 3) TENS is a symptomatic treatment which suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism. 4) Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner qualified in the management of pain patients. 5) Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied across your head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of your head.
