Mettler Electronics Corp.— Rev. E_4/4/13 The three-digit output display shows the peak output voltage for narrow, wide, and AC pulse modes, or the 0 0 0 electrical current (Milliamps) for the DC continuous mode while treatment output is active. The meter function is dependent upon the current mode selected prior to the start of operation.

Sys * Stim 206 Instruction Manual— Rev. E_4/4/13 Press the “Surge” button to enter the Surge mode. The green indicator to its left illuminates when activated to show that the Surge mode is selected. Selection of this mode is in conjunction with selection of any one of the pulse current types.
Mettler Electronics Corp.— Rev. E_4/4/13 Frequency is controlled by a three quarter turn adjustment knob. This control varies the repetition rate of pulses applied to the patient during all pulse modes except when the Surge mode is selected. It is inoperative in the DC Continuous mode.
Sys * Stim 206 Instruction Manual— Rev. E_4/4/13 Section 3—Installation Installation Instructions 1. Plug the attached line cord into a grounded wall outlet that is rated at 120 VAC (±10%)/60Hz (220 VAC/50Hz for export models). Your power supply must match the voltage requirements listed on the serial number label of your device.

Sys * Stim 206 Instruction Manual— Rev. E_4/4/13 Section 5—Indications, Contraindications, Precautions and Adverse Reactions Indications The application of pulsating electric currents to the body via electrodes elicits responses from nerves which conduct pain sensation and muscle contraction information. Stimulation of sensory fibers will help block pain while the stimulation of motor fibers will generate pulsatile contractions of the muscle groups innervated by the nerves being stimulated.
Mettler Electronics Corp.— Rev. E_4/4/13 disease, electrical stimulation should be used only after careful physician evaluation and patient instruction. Place electrodes in such a way to avoid stimulation of the carotid sinus (neck) region. Patients with arterial or venous thrombosis, or thrombophlebitis are at risk of developing embolisms when electrical stimulation is applied over or adjacent to the vessels containing the thrombus.
Sys * Stim 206 Instruction Manual— Rev. E_4/4/13 The long–term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown. Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when electrical stimulation is in use. Precautions Care should be taken in the treatment of patients receiving another type of electrotherapeutic treatment (such as conventional TENS) or having indwelling electrodes, lead wires, or transmitters (for electrophrenic pacing or cerebellar or urinary bladder stimulation).
Mettler Electronics Corp.— Rev. E_4/4/13 15. Iontophoresis to be used only if the labeling of the drug intended for use with the Sys * stim 206 bears adequate directions for use of the device with the drug. 16. Turn on the Sys * Stim 206 before applying electrodes to the patient.
Sys * Stim 206 Instruction Manual— Rev. E_4/4/13 Section 6—Maintenance and Troubleshooting Cleaning the Sys * Stim 206 The Sys * Stim 206 can be wiped off with a damp cloth. The power cord should be disconnected from the wall before this is done. In the case of stubborn dirt a gentle household cleaner can be sprayed on the cloth and then wiped on the unit.
