1. SAFETY INFORMATION 1 .1 Ge ne r a l The InTENSity™ 5000 Hybrid is a battery operated TENS device that sends electrical impulses through electrodes to the body and reaches the nerves causing pain. The device is provided with two controllable output channels, each independent of each other.
Page 5
EXPLANATION OF TENS Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non- invasive, drug free method of controlling pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem; it only helps control the pain.

8. Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions. 9. Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins). 10. Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), as they may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.
experience any adverse reactions form this device, e.g. skin irritation. Adverse Reactions 1. You may experience skin irritation and burns beneath stimulation electrodes applied to your skin. 2. You may experience headache and other painful sensations during or following the application of electrical stimulation near your eyes and to your head and face.

4.4.2 Place Electrodes on Skin Apply electrodes to the exact site indicated by your physician or therapist. Before applying electrodes, be sure the skin surface over which electrodes are placed is thoroughly cleaned and dry. Make sure the electrodes are pressed firmly to the skin and make good contact between the skin and the electrodes.
Every patient responds to electrical stimulation differently and their needs may vary from the conventional settings suggested here. If the initial results are not positive, speak to your physician about alternative stimulation settings and/or electrode placements. Once an acceptable location has been achieved, mark down the electrode sites and the device settings, so the patient can easily continue treatment on their own.
4.7 Select therapy time There are 4 therapy times (15, 30, 60, C) for you to select. Press the [TIMER] button, the appropriate time LED indicator will be lit. Press [TIMER] button cycle to select the therapy time. 4.9 Adjust channel intensity Press the intensity control button [▲] and [▼] to control the intensity output and you will hear a “beep”...

Modulation 2 mode is a pulse rate modulation. The pulse rate is automatically varied in a cycle pattern over an interval of nominally 10 seconds. Pulse rate decreases over Modulation 2 a period of 5 seconds from the control mode (M2) setting value to a value which is 40% less, then increase over a 5 seconds period to its original value.
