The front of the unit has two programme buttons allowing the unit to run a
separate TENS programme on each channel.
PRG 1 selects the TENS programme to run on Channel A.
PRG 2 selects the TENS programme to run on Channel B.
This allows the therapist to select the best combination of output to more
effectively control pain.
NOTE: The unit cannot run a combination of TENS, STIM or custom
programmes.
Backlight
A clear bright backlight and large LCD allow the display to be read more easily
in low light or dark conditions. The backlight will automatically turn off after
one minute to conserve battery power.
Comprehensive Statistics
Comprehensive statistics backed up by a real time clock record up to 5 sessions
daily for 60 days. An easy to use menu system allows the therapist to review
the statistics to ensure that the patient is using the unit correctly.
Multi Phase Custom Programmes
Up to 5 phases can be configured for each of the three custom programmes.
The custom programmes feature a simple setup of one phase only or an
advanced setup of up to 5 phases.

What is Pain?

When we feel pain it is the body's process of informing us that something is
wrong. To feel pain is important, without this feeling abnormal conditions may
go undetected, creating damage or injury to critical parts of the body.
Although pain is essential in warning our body of trauma or malfunction,
nature may have gone too far in its design. Continued long-term chronic pain
has no useful value apart from its importance in diagnosis. Pain begins when
a coded signal travels to the brain where it is decoded, and analysed. The pain
message travels from the injured area of the body along small diameter nerves
leading to the spinal cord. At this point the message is switched to a different
kind of nerve that travels up the spinal cord to the brain area. The brain then
analyses the pain message, refers it back and the pain is felt.
