 SAFETY INFORMATION

1.1 GeneralTM
Intensity 10 TENS stimulator is a portable electrotherapy device featuring Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapeutic device, which is used for pain relief. The stimulator sends a gentle electrical current to nderlying nerves and muscle group via electrodes applied on the skin. The parameters of device are controlled by the buttons. Its intensity level is adjustable according to the needs of patients.
1.2 Medical background
EXPLANATION OF PAIN
Pain is a warning system and the body’s method of telling us that something is wrong. Pain is important; without it abnormal conditions may go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of our bodies. Even though pain is a necessary warning  signal of trauma or malfunction in the body, nature may have gone too far in its design.
Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until coded message travels to the brain where it is decoded, analyzed, and then reacted to. The pain message travels from the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message is switched to different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. The pain message is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.
EXPLANATION OF TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, drug free method of controlling pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception.
TENS does not cure any physiological problem; it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone; however, in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.
HOW TENS WORKS
There is nothing “magic” about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulations
(TENS). TENS is intended to be used to relieve pain.
The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patients, mode selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients, the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In others, pain is only modified while stimulation actually occurs. You may discuss this with your physician or therapist.
1.3 Indication for useTM
InTENSity 10 TENS Stimulator should be used for the Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, acute post traumatic pain, acute post surgical pain and arthritis pain.

1.5 Warnings, Cautions and Adverse Reactions
WARNINGS:

1. This device should be used only under the continued supervision of a licensed physician.
2. The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown. Electrical stimulation devices do not have any curative value.
3.  TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain, which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
4.  Safety has not been established for the use of therapeutic electrical stimulation during pregnancy. Do not use duringpregnancy unless directed by your physician.
5. Electrical stimulation is not effective for pain of central origin.
6.  Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when electrical stimulation is in use. “
7.  Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
8.  Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior 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.
9. Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
10.  Stimulation should not take place while the user is connected to high-frequency surgical equipment, it may cause burn injuries on the skin under the electrodes, as well as problems with the stimulator.
11.  Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave therapy equipment, since this may affect the output power of the stimulator.
12. Never use in environments with high humidity such as in the bathroom or when having a bath or shower.
13. Caution should be used in applying electrical stimulation to patients suspected of having heart disease. Further clinical data is needed to show there are no adverse results.
14.  Never use near the heart. Stimulation electrodes should never be placed anywhere on the front of the thorax (marked by ribs and breastbone), but above all not on the two large pectoral muscles. Here it can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest.
15. Electrodes should not be placed over the eyes, in the mouth, near the genitals or internally.
16.  Never use on the areas of the skin which lack normal sensation.
17. Apply the electrodes to clean, dry, and unbroken skin only.
18.  Keep electrodes separate during treatment, electrodes in contact with other could result in improper stimulation or skin burns.

CLEANING AND CARE

6.1 Tips for skin care
To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow these suggestions:

1. Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the electrodes, using mild soap and water before applying electrodes, and after taking them off. Be sure to rinse soap off thoroughly and dry skin well.
2. Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; do not shave stimulation area.
3. Wipe the area with the skin preparation your clinician has recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed.
4.  Many skin problems arise from the “pulling stress” from adhesive patches that are excessively stretched across the skin during application. To prevent this, apply electrodes from centre outward; avoid stretching over the skin.
5. To minimize “pulling stress”, tape extra lengths of lead wires to the skin in a loop to prevent tugging on electrodes.
6. When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the direction of hair growth.
7. It may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area when not wearing electrodes.
8.  Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.

6.2 Cleaning the device

1. Remove the battery from the device every time when you clean.
2.  Clean the device after use with a soft, slight moistened cloth. In case of more extreme soiling you can also moisten the cloth with mild soapy water.
3. Do not use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents for cleaning.

6.3 Electrodes

1. Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided by the manufacturer. Use only the electrode placements and stimulation settings prescribed by your physician or therapist.
2. It is recommended that, at minimum, 40mm*40mm self-adhering based, square electrodes are used at the  treatment area.
3. Inspect your electrodes before every use. Replace electrodes as needed. Reusable electrodes may cause slight skin irritation, lose adhesion and deliver less stimulation if overused.

To use these electrodes:

1. Attach the electrode to the lead wire.
2.  Remove the protective backing from the electrode surface. Do not throw away the protective backing because it is reused after the treatment session has been completed.
3. Place the tacky surface to the prescribed skin area by pressing the electrode firmly against the skin.

To remove your electrodes:

1. Lift the corner of the electrode and gently remove it from the skin.
2. Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode. Place the electrode on the side of the protective backing that is labeled with the word on.
3. It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over Saturation with water will reduce the adhesive properties.
4.  Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a cool dry place.

CAUTION:

• Do not pull on the electrode wire. Doing so may damage the wire and electrode.
• Do not apply to broken skin. The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
• The electrodes are intended for single patient use only. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.
• Read the instructions for use of self-adhesive electrodes before application.
• Always use the electrodes with CE mark, or are legally marketed in the US under 510(K) procedure.

6.4 Cleaning the Electrodes cords
Clean the electrode cords by wiping them with damp cloth. Coating them lightly with talcum powder will reduce tangles and prolong the life.
