FOLLOWING
CAUTIONS:
Caution: Do not immerse your

radiant heater or sources of high
humidity such as a nebulizer or kettle as
this may cause it to cease to operate
correctly.
Caution: Keep the device

term exposure to sunlight may affect
the rubber causing it to become less
elastic and crack.

the
correct
settings can be adjusted which allow for
different
electrode pads and suppress pain in
different ways.
• Frequency (measured in Hz -
PAIN GATE: A high frequency of 110
ADDITIONAL
Hz is good at blocking pain signals.
ENDORPHINE
frequency of 4 or 10 Hz allows for the
release of endorphins, the body's
natural morphine-like substances.
• Pulse Width (measured in μs -
The TENS One unit has pulse widths of
50 to 250 μs. Generally speaking, the
higher the pulse width, the more
"aggressive" the stimulation feels, and
eventually, if the pulse width is set high
enough, it will usually elicit a muscle
contraction, which is typically not the
desired result with a TENS unit.
However, if the pulse width is too low,
the patient may not perceive the
stimulation. Pulse Rate is important
because different frequency settings
&
target different nerve groups and the
setting will determine if the "Gate
