1.2 MANAGE YOUR PAIN WHEN ACTIVE OR AT REST MEDICAL CONTEXT
USING THE TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATOR (TENS)
TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN AND PRESCRIBED BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation -TENS- depolarizes peripheral nerve fibres and is transmitted through electrodes placed on the body to reinforce the effectiveness of the natural pain control mechanisms.
TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION APPLIED AT THE SENSORY LEVEL A tingling sensation is induced to trigger a natural analgesic reaction.
COMPLEMENT OR ALTERNATIVE TO TAKING MEDICATION
Neurostimulation is used for acute postoperative and post-traumatic pain and muscle relaxation and for treating many other types of pain that are not relieved by medication.
ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
The ability to choose the most appropriate TENS program for your type of pain makes TENS one of the most effective non-surgical and non-drug therapy solutions. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation -TENS- is much more than a simple compliment to any traditional treatment. TENS allows you to move more and live better.

1. 3 SAFETY MEASURES
INDICATIONS, CONTRAINDICATIONS, PRECAUTIONS, CAUTION
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation meets each user’s specific needs. This non-aggressive and drug-free technique is recognized for its lack of side effects under normal use conditions, moderate cost, the small size of the TENS device, and its ease of use. The -TENS- is compact and can be slipped into a pocket, making it easier to carry out daily activities.

CONNECTION

3 .1 CONNECT THE ELECTRODES TO THE WIRES

INSTRUCTIONS
For optimal and safe use, use only the accessories provided by Electro-Medic.
Furthermore, proper adjustment of the device’s intensity and a gradual increase in levels will ensure the comfort, relief, and improvement you desire. We strongly advise you not to increase the levels too quickly.
(Type BF applied part: Electrodes)

A. The electrodes used with this device must never be smaller than 2.54 cm in diameter. We caution you that the smaller the electrodes, the greater the stimulation intensity in the area where the electrodes are placed, which increases the risk of skin irritation in that area. The risk of skin irritation also occurs when self-adhesive electrodes do not stick properly to the entire surface due to a lack of adhesion. Replacing the self-adhesive electrodes after a maximum of 15 to 20 uses ensures superior device performance. Use carbon electrodes with electrode gel to ensure a proper and effective current flow. Please refer to the additional instructions provided on the electrode packaging.

B ATTACH ELECTRODES
on non-irritated skin that has been washed with water, cleaned, and dried thoroughly for better electrode adhesion and optimal performance.
Do not position the device where access to the main source of the device would make it difficult to shut the device down quickly if necessary.

C. CONNECT THE WIRES TO THE -TENS- UNIT AT THE INPUT OF EACH CHANNEL

To optimize your results, we recommend that you evaluate your pain before, during, and after treatment, using the pain scale TENS Electro Medic NONA -

In Burst mode, there are two impulse trains per second (2 Hz).
MR MODULATED PULSE FREQUENCY
The frequency decreases from 160 Hz to 65 Hz in 9 equal stages, then returns to the selected value in 9 stages.
The total cycle time is 6 seconds.
MW MODULATED PULSE DURATION
The impulse duration decreases from 150 Us to 70 Us in 9 equal stages, then returns to the selected value in 9 stages.
The total cycle time is 3 seconds.
CM COMBINED MODULATION STIMULATION
Combined modulation consists of alternating the impulse width (MW) and frequency (MR) so that one parameter always decreases while the other increases and vice versa.
MXF MIXED IMPULSE FREQUENCY
The mixed frequency alternates between high and low frequency every 5 seconds, thus integrating high- and low-frequency stimulation.

In this mode, the screen displays

The F and the up arrow during high frequency F ****
The F and the down arrow during low frequency F ****

ALT ALTERNATING
When a massage and pain relief effect is desired, place the electrodes as for high-frequency stimulation. Although modulated high-frequency stimulation is obtained, the channels are activated alternately, producing a massage effect. Always use 2 channels and 4 electrodes with this program.
The program is the same for both channels.
