  • Page 5 1. Introduction BioStim® NMS2 1.1 Device Overview The BioStim NMS2 is a portable electrotherapy device which sends a gentle electrical current to underlying nerves and muscles via electrodes applied to the skin. The device is a NeuroMuscular Stimulator (NMS) used to stimulate muscles for an array of conditions.
  • Page 6 2. Introduction BioStim® NMS2 2.1 Precautions should be taken when stimulation is used; • After recent surgical procedure where muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process. • After an acute trauma or fracture where there is a tendency to hemorrhage. •...
  • Page 7 3) NMS devices should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any other activity in which involuntary muscle contraction may put the user at undue risk of injury. 4)Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and/or pharyngeal muscles may occur when electrodes are placed over the neck or mouth.

  • Page 16 8.1 Toggling through the Modes: 1) Turn the device on or (1) "On/Off" Key 2) Choose a Mode by pressing the "Mode" Key (5) repeatedly until the mode or therapy you wish to use is displayed on the screen. The following diagram demonstrates the order in which pressing the "Mode"...
  • Page 17 RAMP ON: Is the amount of time in seconds the device itensity ramps up from the OFF Time to the maximum intensity of the ON Time in each cycle. RAMP OFF: Is the amount of time in seconds the device intensity ramps down from the ON Time to the OFF Time in each cycle.
  • Page 18 DELAY: The amount of time in seconds between the begininning of Channel 1 cycle and beginning 2 cycle. (DELAY is available in the CYCLED mode only). The DELAY can be adjusted from 1-99 seconds. Note: If a "DELAY" value is set in the CYCLED mode, the number of seconds set for the DELAY will be automatically deducted from the OFF TIME of Channel 2, as both Channel 1 and Channel 2 total cycle times must be the same.
  • Page 19 Step 3: Press the +(4) key until the numeric value for RAMP ON flashes on the screen. Step 4: Increase or decrease the value of the flashing number by pressing the +(4) and/or -(9) keys. Step 5: Press the "Enter" (6) key to accept the set value.
  • Page 20 Step 1: Turn the device OFF and then back ON by pressing the "ON/OFF Key" (1) Step 2: Press the "PR/PW" (8) key repeatedly until the parameter you desire to change is flashing Step 3: Use the +(4) and -(9) keys to increase/de crease or change the value.

    Step 3: Press and hold down both the "Timer" Key (10) the Channel 2 intensity key (3) in the "+" direction for approximately 3 seconds. When done correctly, the LCD will "blank out" except for the clock symbol, with a 2 digit number underneath, and if applicable, bars on the left hand side of the screen will appear.

  • Page 24: Setting The Const Mode

    Note: Use of the Constant Mode or a Pulse Rate greater than 60Hz with a symmetrical biphasic square waveform should be used for the relaxation of muscle spasms only. Use of constant stimulation and/or rates above the normal physiological range (e.g., greater than 60Hz) could lead to rapid onset of muscle fatigue, making the device less effective in producing repeated forceful muscle contractions.

  • Page 25: Cycled Stimulation

    9.3 Cycled Stimulation: CYCLED Stimulation is a mode which delivers the set Pulse Rate (Hz) Pulse Width (US) and Waveform (ASYM or SYM) in repeating cycles comprised of "timing options" (RAMP ON, RAMP OFF, ON TIME, OFF TIME and DELAY) in order to elicit repeated muscle contractions and rest periods.

  • Page 26: Reciprocal Stimulation (Recipr)

    Step 3: Attach electrodes to the body per the instructions given by the prescribing practitioner. Step 4: Turn device on by pressing the "ON/OFF" Key (1) Step 5: Press the "Mode" Key (5) until "CYCLED" appears on the screen. The last settings used are displayed. The factory settings are displayed if never used.

  • Page 27: Setting The Reciprocal (Recipr) Mode

    (RAMP ON, RAMP OFF, ON TIME, OFF TIME and DELAY) in order to elicit repeated muscle contractions and rest periods. In the RECIPR mode Channel 1 and Channel 2 cycles alternate. Therefore, Channel 1 and Channel 2 timing options can be set completely independent of one another.
