Instructions
Please read this manual thoroughly before using this device for the first time.
INTRODUCTION
This device can be used for pain relief and muscle stimulation. It provides two independent, controllable output channels. A pair of electrodes which can be connected to each output channel and the current’s parameters and intensity level can be adjusted according to your needs.
1. What is pain?
Pain warns our body of injury to prevent additional damage. This sensation is
important because without it, vital parts of our bodies might be injured
without our knowledge. However, long-lasting, persistent (chronic) pain, once
diagnosed serves no apparent
purpose and reduces quality of life.
2. How does TENS work?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) refers to the transmission
of small electrical pulses through the skin to the underlying peripheral
nerves. The theory of TENS suggests two different modes of operation:
In conventional (high frequency) TENS, continuous mild electrical activity may
block the pain signal traveling to the brain. If the pain signal does not get
through to the brain, the pain is not “felt”.
In low frequency TENS, short bursts of electrical activity may stimulate the
release of endorphins, the body’s own pain-control substance. Ask your
physician or therapist for more details. No matter what pain theory is used,
TENS has been proven useful in pain
management for many patients in helping to make their lives better.
3. What is EMS and how does it work?
In normal muscular activity, the central and peripheral nervous systems
transmit electrical signals to the muscles, making them contract. EMS
(Electrical muscle stimulation) uses an external source (the stimulator, via
wires and electrodes) to achieve the same effect, creating involuntary muscle
contractions. This can help improve and maintain muscle tone without actual
physical activity and therefore prevent atrophy.
4. Indications for use
- TENS: The device is designed to be used for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. And to be used for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis.
- EMS: The device is designed to be used for stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance.
This device is recommended for:
- Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, acute post traumatic pain or acute post surgical pain.
- Improving local blood circulation.
- Relief from muscle spasms.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING
DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS
Undiagnosed pain syndromes (until etiology is established)
- Cancerous lesions that are present in the treatment area
- Swollen, infected, inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.)
- Demand type implanted pacemaker or defibrillator
- Epilepsy
- Serious arterial circulatory problems in the lower limbs
- Abdominal or inguinal hernia
- Safety has not been established for use during pregnancy
- Electrical stimulation is not effective on pain that is of central origin.
For external use only. The long-term effects of frequent electrical stimulation are unknown. Do not apply stimulation over the thyroid or carotid sinus regions, as this could disrupt breathing, cardiac frequency or blood pressure. Do not use while connected to high frequency surgical equipment or near shortwave or microwave therapy equipment. Never use in environments with high humidity (ex.: bathroom). Never place the electrodes anywhere on the front of the thorax or transthoracically as it can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation, cause cardiac arrhythmia and lead to cardiac arrest. Never place the electrodes in a way that would cause the current to flow through the head. Do not place on your spine or backbone. Never use near the eyes, the genitals, the heart, or on areas which lack normal sensation. This stimulator should never be used by patients who are non compliant or are emotionally, cognitively or mentally impaired. Keep the stimulator out of reach of children.
4. General Precautions
-
The patient is the intended operator.
– TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain.
– TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
– TENS devices do not cure disease or injuries.
– Do not apply electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) over painful areas. If you have painful areas, you should consult with your physician before using this device.
– You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or gel.
– If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease and/or epilepsy you should follow precautions recommended by your physician.
– Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture.
– Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing process. -
Use this device only with the Proactive™ lead wires, gel pads and Micro-USB cable.
-
Do not use the device or an electrode if it is damaged. The continuous use of a damaged unit may cause injury or improper results.
-
Do not adjust controls while operating machinery or vehicles. Never use the stimulator during any activity in which involuntary movement would represent a risk of injury.
-
Do not use this device when in the bath or shower or while sleeping.
-
Turn the stimulator off before applying or removing electrodes.
-
Only use with Pro Active™ lead wires and electrodes.
-
Long-term stimulation at the same electrode site may cause skin irritation. Use only as prescribed by a physician.
-
Never use in rooms where aerosols (sprays) are used or pure oxygen is being administered. Do not use it near highly flammable substances, gases or explosives.
-
Apply the electrodes to clean, dry, and unbroken skin only. If you experience any skin irritation or redness after a session, do not continue stimulation in that area of the skin.
-
Keep electrodes separate during treatment. Electrodes coming in contact with each other could result in improper stimulation or skin burns.
-
