1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General information:

This TENS is a lightweight and portable medical device which can help to reduce pain and discomfort. It utilizes low
electric-current to stimulate muscle nerves to achieve the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-
traumatic and post-surgical pain.
1.2. Cautions
Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of practitioners licensed by the State in which they
practice to use or order the use of the device.

1.3. Indications for use:

This device is used in symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic and post-surgical pain.

1.4 Warnings:

1.4.1 The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
1.4.2 Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients with a known
sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
1.4.3 Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal
muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in
breathing.

heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
