Page 3: What Is Pain
INTRODUCTION TO TENS What is Pain? Pain is the body’s warning system. Pain is important because it signals an unusual condition in the body and alerts us before additional damage or injury can occur. However, long-lasting, persistent pain, often called chronic pain, once diagnosed serves no apparent purpose. -
Page 4: Indications And Contraindications
INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS Read the operation manual before using TENS INDICATIONS Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) may be used, with a physician’s prescription, for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long term) pain. CONTRAINDICATIONS ● Patients with implanted electronic devices(for example, a pacemaker) or metallic implants should not undertake TENS treatment without first consulting a physician. -
Page 5: Warnings And Precautions
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTION WARNINGS ● TENS devices must be kept out of reach of children. ● The safety of TENS devices for use during pregnancy or delivery has not been established. ● TENS is not effective for pain of central origin (headaches). ●... - Page 6 PRECAUTIONS/ADVERSE REACTIONS ● Isolated cases of skin irritations may occur at the site of electrode placement during long term application. ● Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the management of pain patients. ● Skin irritation and electrode burns are potential adverse reactions. ●...

Page 7: About This Device
ABOUT THIS DEVICE Your TENS device is a battery operated device that includes two controllable output channels. This TENS device creates electrical impulses whose amplitude, duration, and modulation can be altered with the controls or switches. The TENS dial controls are very easy to use and the slide cover prevents accidental changes in settings. -
Page 8: Using Controls
UNIT CONTROLS Panel Cover A cover conceals the controls for Pulse Width, Pulse Rate, Mode Selector and Modulation Selector. The TENS dial controls are very easy to use and the slide cover protects accidental changes in settings. Intensity The intensity knobs located on the top of the unit affect the strength of the stimulation and also function as ON/OFF controls. -
Page 9: Mode Functions
Mode Functions Burst (B) releases individual bursts twice per second, pulse width is adjustable and the pulse rate is set at 100Hz per second. Continuous (C) stimulation is delivered continuously at the settings determined by intensity, rate, and width knobs. Modulation (M) pulse width decrease from its setting by 60% and maintain the decreased width for 2 seconds before returning to the original width setting, which is maintained for 3.5 seconds. -
Page 10: Electrode Selection And Care
ELECTRODE SELECTION AND CARE Your physician/clinician should decide which type of electrode is best for your condition. Follow application procedures outlined in electrode packaging will provide instructions for care, maintenance and proper storage of your electrodes. TIPS FOR SKIN CARE Good skin care is important for comfortable use of your TENS device. -
Page 11: Connecting The Tens Device
CONNECTING THE TENS DEVICE 1. Prepare the skin as previously discussed and according to instructions provided with your electrodes. Before attaching the electrodes, identify the area which your clinician has recommended for electrode placement. 2. Connect the lead wires to the electrodes before applying the electrodes to the skin. -
