The MEND Professional is the most advanced two channel programmable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator or "TENS" device currently available. MEND Technology is a leading distributor of state-of-the- art medical devices. The MEND Professional is a high-end precision medical device used for the relief of pain.
1.1 Indications The MEND Professional is intended for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain. The degree of efficiency will vary with patient selection. 1.2 Warnings and Contraindications • Microcurrent stimulation should not be used on patients whose pain syndromes are not diagnosed and etiology is not established. If another electrode is used as a dispersive electrode, placement of the dispersive electrode should ensure transthoracic stimulation is not possible.
• Electronic monitoring equipment such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms may not operate properly when Inspirstar IS02 PMS is in use. • Simultaneous connection of a patient to a high frequency surgical medical equipment may result in burns at the site of the IS02 PMS electrodes and possible damage to the IS02 PMS.

3 Operations 3.1 Prepare for Running The MEND Professional device can be used inside or outside the soft back carrying case. There are two Velcro strips attached inside the soft back carrying case. Install Batteries The MEND Professional device uses two alkaline batteries in size “AA”.
Connect Wires to Gloves, Strips or Electrodes Insert the push pins on gloves, strips, alligator clips or electrodes. Refer to your Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) training instructions on where to place the electrodes, gloves, towels or strips on the body. Gloves, towels, and strips need to be wet to provide conduction.
3.2 Basic Operations Power ON Press START/ON to power on the unit. The Power-On Initial Screen displays the protocol number of last run protocol. Press START to run this last used protocol. All, Recent, History or Batch Protocols All Protocols lists all protocols in user programmed profile. Recent Protocols lists the protocols that were recently used.
To switch between All Protocols, Recent Protocols, History and Batch Protocols: press the Protocols key to cycle between the four protocol list screens. Select a Protocol There are a number of preloaded therapy protocols in the MEND Professional device. Select by protocol number: from Power-On Screen, or from All Protocols screen, press the protocol number with the numeric keys.
Protocol details: Press the RIGHT arrow key to see the details of the protocol. Use the UP/DOWN keys to scroll the screen to view the full details of the protocol. Protocol details include: • Name • Description • Time • # of frequency pairs •...
Stop the Therapy Protocol You can press the STOP key to stop running a protocol at any time. If you accidently press STOP, you can restart the protocol and skip to the last frequency pair you were running. Turn on the Back Light To turn on the back light: press the lightbulb key to turn on the LCD back light.
3.3 Advanced Operations and Display Information Protocol Running Information and Status When a protocol is running, the screen will display the protocol information and status. Protocol number and name Output channel frequencies Waveform name Output current ± polarity intensity (μA) Total frequency pair numbers and Remaining time for the running remaining time...
Make Run Time Changes To change CH1 frequency: Press CH1, the edit cursor will jump to CH1 frequency value. Then enter the digits of the new frequency value. For example, to enter frequency 970 Hz, press CH1, 9, 7, 0, 0 and SET. To change CH2 frequency: Press CH2, the edit cursor will jump to CH2 frequency value.
frequency pair. Press HLD again to resume the timer. To SKIP current frequency pair: press SKP key to skip the current frequency pair and move to next frequency pair. To LOCK the keypad when running a protocol to avoid accidental change or stop of the protocol, press both the LEFT and RIGHT keys, a lock sign will appear that indicates the keypad is locked.

Select from other protocols: Press Protocols key to rotate between All Protocols, Recent Protocols and History Protocols. Enter a protocol number using number keys or use UP/DOWN arrows to select a protocol. See Select a Protocol on page 18. Assign a protocol to the slot: press START key to assign the protocol to the slot.
Manual Run Mode Manual Run Mode is the mode to run a frequency pair with any parameters programmed directly from keypad. The new value will be applied on the microcurrent output in 3 seconds after SET. To go into Manual Run Mode: press Back key to Main Menu and use UP/DOWN to select Manual Run Mode and press RIGHT arrow to enter into...
To change waveform: Press WF key to rotate the list of predefined waveforms. Use UP and DOWN arrow to scroll forward or backward the waveforms. To change period: Press SET key multiple times until the edit cursor has moved to the digits for period, then enter the numbers or UP and DOWN to change the digits of number.
To turn ON/OFF protocol end beeping: press SET key multiple times until the edit cursor has moved to the ON/OFF setting of protocol end beeping, use UP/DOWN to change the value. Press Enter again when the new value is set. To change output drive voltage: press SET key multiple times until the edit cursor has moved to the setting of the...
Low Battery Indication Low battery will be indicated on startup screen and on protocol running screen. You can continue to use the IS02 but the machine may shut down unexpectedly any time. On startup screen: On protocol running screen...
Separate the touch of the two pins. The CH2 LED should start to flash to indicate that the continuity is broken. Stop using the IS02 device if the leadwires or unit failed the above inspection and contact MEND Technology for recommendations.
Sanitizing Clean and disinfect the IS02 main device, the leadwires and reusable accessories and electrodes at least once a week or between uses. To sanitize the IS02 main device, wipe the device with non-dripping cotton balls or sanitizing wipes with germicide or alcohol. It would be safe to wipe the faceplate (keypad), display (LCD screen) and the whole enclosure if the wipe does not drip.
Internal failure. Change with new batteries No LCD display and 3 short and try again. If problem persists, contact beeping sound MEND Technology for services. LCD displays “Low Battery” Change to new batteries. The contact from MEND Professional CH1/CH2 LEDs flashing or the skin may be lost.
