  • Page 21: Intended Use

    Intended Use The SaeboStim Pro device delivers muscle and nerve stimulation using the principles of both Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). The indications for use include relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention or retar- dation of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, muscle re-education, immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis and maintaining or increasing range of motion.

  • Page 22: Description Of Device And Controls

    Description of Device and Controls 1. On/Off Switch: Slide the switch to turn the device on/off. 2. Channel Key: Press the Channel Key (CH) to switch between the 2 channels. If icon A is flashing on the screen, the user can set the Intensity level or activate the Trigger Mode in Channel A. If icon B is flashing on the screen, the user can set the Intensity level or activate the Trigger Mode in Channel B. The flashing will stop following 10 seconds of no operation. 3. Pause/Trigger Key: The Pause/Trigger Key (T) serves both functions. - Pause: When the stimulator is running a treatment program, press the Pause/Trigger Key once to pause the treatment.
  • Page 23 - Trigger Mode: Once the desired Channel Key is pressed and flashing, press and hold the Pause/Trigger Key for 3 seconds to activate the Trigger Mode. An “arrow” symbol will appear below the corresponding Channel. The stimulator enters a contraction period for as long as the Key is pressed. When the Key is released the stimulator enters the relaxation period (stimulation is not on).
