Scope Of Supply; Important Information - Sanitas SEM 43 Instructions For Use Manual

Any symptoms indicating TENS application must be clarified with the doctor in
charge of your treatment. The latter will also give you information on the respec-
tive benefits of TENS self-treatment.
TENS is clinically tested and approved with the following applications:
• Back pain, particularly also lumbar and cervical spine problems
• Joint pain (e.g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder)
• Neuralgia
• Headaches
• Women's period pains
• Pain after injuries to musculoskeletal system
• Pain with circulatory problems
• Chronic pain through various causes
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generally recognised
method and has been used for years in sports and rehabilitation medicine. In the
sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMS is as a supplement to convention-
al muscle training, in order to increase the efficiency of muscle groups and adapt
physical proportions to the desired aesthetic results. EMS application goes in two
directions. On the one hand, a targeted strengthening of musculature can be pro-
duced (activating application) and on the other hand a relaxing, resting effect can
also be achieved (relaxing application).
Active application includes the following:
• Muscle training to improve endurance performance and/or
• Muscle training to support the strengthening of certain muscles or muscle
groups in order to achieve desired changes to body proportions.
Relaxing application includes the following:
• Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension
• Improving muscular fatigue symptoms
• Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance (e.g. after
a marathon).
Through integrated massage technology, Digital EMS/TENS also offers the
possibility of reducing muscular tension and combating fatigue symptoms using
a programme based on real massage in terms of sensation and effect.
Using the positioning suggestions and programme charts in this manual, you
can determine the machine setting fast and easily for the respective application
(depending on the region of the body affected) in order to ensure the desired
effect.
Through the two separately adjustable channels, the Digital EMS/TENS has the
advantage of adapting the intensity of the pulses independently of each other
to two parts of the body to be treated, for example in order to cover both sides
of the body or ensure even stimulation of larger areas of tissue. The individual
intensity setting of each channel also allows you to treat two different parts of
the body at the same time, whereby it is possible to save time compared with
individual sequential treatment.

WARNING!
In order to prevent any damage to health, we would urgently advise against
using the Digital EMS/TENS in the following cases:
• With any implanted electrical devices (such as pacemakers)
• If there are any metal implants
• When using an insulin pump
• In case of high fever (e.g. > 39 °C)
• In case of known or acute cardiac arrhythmias and other disorders in stimulus
formation and conduction of the heart
• If suffering from attacks (e.g. epilepsy)
• If pregnant
• In case of cancer
• After operations where increased muscle contractions might impair the heal-
ing process
