A CONCEPT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
INTRODUCTION1.1
3 page1 Electro-Medic is the proud
Canadian manufacturer of -TENS-, safe and efficient neurostimulator devices. They are compact electrical devices that are therapeutic and portable, offering :
A SOLID CULTURE IN ELECTROTHERAPY: Our devices are carefully conceived to allow for noticeable reductions in pain -- including, but not limited to: acute, chronic, sports-related, post-operative, and post-traumatic pain. They provide a therapeutic option that is medically recognized -- and applicable within a clinical environment, at home, and even while engaging in everyday activities! Our model is technologically refined -- yet light, compact, and user-friendly. We’ve pursued thorough and consistent collaboration with healthcare providers and their patients, in order to develop a device that is capable of serving an expanded range of patients’ needs.
MANAGE YOUR PAIN WHEN ACTIVE OR AT RESTMEDICAL CONTEXTUTILIZATION OF NEUROSTIMULATIONELECTROTHERAPY/NEUROSTIMULATION WAS DEVELOPED BY THE PHYSIOLOGIST, PATRICK WALL, AND IS SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN AND PRESCRIBED BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALSElectrotherapy or neurostimulation -TENS- is transferred via electrodes placed upon the body near the treatment area. Electrical vibrations emanate from the -TENS- through the electrodes, and support the body’s natural tendency toward healing and pain management.
TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATOR – SENSORY IMPRESSIONSUsers should expect to experience a light tingling sensation beneath the electrodes at the skin’s surface. This indicates that the device is working to provoke a natural analgesic reaction to alleviate pain.
AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE TO OVERMEDICATIONNeurostimulation is used in cases of post-operative and post-traumatic acute sharp pain, and also for muscular relaxation. It helps to alleviate pain in cases where even heavy medication couldn’t.
ACCESSIBLE TO ALL-TENS- gives users the chance to choose the most appropriate program for their specific type of pain, which is both non-surgical and non-medicative. It is a highly efficient solution -- much more than just a complement to traditional treatment. -TENS- Helps to manage pain when active or at rest

LOCAL CONTRAINDICATIONS
MUST BE USED UNDER INTERDISCIPLINARY OR MEDICAL SUPERVISION• Cancer - absolute contraindication: presence of metastasis or in the case of circulatory leukemia. - local contraindication: for other types of cancer, must be used under interdisciplinary supervision.• Transthoracic application and Anterior surface of the cardiac region.• Electronic implant: risk of interference with the operation of the implant.• Cardiac stimulator: absolute or local contraindication, to be used under interdisciplinary supervision with authorization from treating cardiologist.• Heart disease: risk of the heart having difficulty compensating for high metabolic demand.• Pregnancy: abdominal and lumbar region during pregnancy. It is possible to use the -TENS- at the lumbar level during labour/delivery.• Skin sensorial disorder, loss of sensitivity: risk that the patient does not adequately sense the current, which increases the risk of burns or skin irritation.• Genitals: proper training required.• DVT / phlebitis / embolism: risk of displacement of the thrombus in the bloodstream.• Bleeding: risk of increasing bleeding.• Epilepsy: local contraindication: head and neck (cervical region). Precaution at the level of the trunk and limbs. Electrical stimulation could trigger epileptic seizure.• Tuberculosis: during the active phase, electrical stimulation may extend the infection area.
page
6 7 page
PRECAUTIONS
• Circulatory disorder: stimulation increases the metabolic demand and the demand can therefore exceed the oxygen supply, thereby aggravating the pain. Can even lead to tissue ischemia or necrosis.• Skin disorder: the resistance is decreased, increasing the risk of burns.• Active epiphysis patch: may affect bone growth.• Chest, heart and abdominal region: may affect normal heart function.• Communication disorder: risk of injury, misunderstanding of use. Must be used under interdisciplinary supervision.
CAUTION
• Children: keep out of reach of children.• When driving a vehicle: never handle the -TENS- or move the electrodes while driving.• Risk of skin damage: when using the carbon electrodes, always use conductive gel. Adhesive tape may cause skin damage.

DEVICE SETUPFor safe and optimal performance, only use accessories provided by Electro-Medic. Gradually and appropriately adjusting the intensity level of the device will ensure comfort, pain relief, and optimal benefits. It is particularly inadvisable to experiment with higher levels too quickly.
The electrodes used with this device should never be smaller than 2.54cm in diameter. WARNING: The smaller the electrodes are, the greater the intensity of stimulation onto the localized area where they are placed. Smaller electrodes are associated with a higher risk of skin irritation. Skin irritation may also occur if the self-adhesive electrodes do not stick properly onto the entire surface of the skin. This is often because of lack of adhesive, and may be avoided by replacing the self-adhesive electrodes after fifteen to twenty uses. Carbon electrodes must be used with conductive gel, in order for current to flow adequately. *Note: Additional application instructions are provided on packaging.
to skin that has been washed, dried, and is not irritated. This will allow for the best adherence and optimal electrode performance...

3.4 CEASING OR PAUSING THE STIMULATION
STIMULATION MODES C CONTINUOUS MODE In “CONTINUOUS” mode, the impulses are steady; the interval rate and the length of the impulses are fixed
B BURSTIn “BURST” mode, the impulses are delivered at a rate of 2 pulse train per second (2Hz).
MR MODULATED RATE In “MR” mode, the frequency decreases by 160Hz to 65Hz in 9 equal steps, and comes back to the selected value in 9 steps. The total length of the cycle is 6 seconds.
MW MODULATED WIDTHIn “MW” mode, the pulse width ranges from 150Us to 70Us in 9 equals steps, and then returns to the selected value in 9 steps. The total length of the cycle is 6 seconds.
CM COMBINATION MODULATION In “CM” mode the modulated width (MW) and the modulated rate (MR) alternates such that when one parameter decreases, the other increases.
MXF MIXED FREQUENCY In “MXF” mode, the signal alternates between a high frequency and a low frequency for 5 seconds. In this mode the screen indicates • The F and the up arrow signify high frequency • The F and the down arrow signify low frequency
ALT ALTERNATEWhen you’re looking for massage or relief, place the electrodes as if for the high frequency stimulation. Even though we obtain a modulated high fre-quency stimulation, the channels are activated alternately, which produces a massage. Always use 2 channels and 4 electrodes with this program. The program is the same for both channels.
