User manual SANITAS DIGITAL EMS TENS

[. . . ] 27 16 Please read these instructions for use carefully and keep them for later use, be sure to make them ­accessible to other users and observe the information they contain. Digital EMS/TENS belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. For this, the device has two independent stimulation channels and four selfadhesive electrodes. it has various versatile functions in order to increase general wellbeing , alleviate pain , maintain physical fitness , relaxation , revitalise muscles and combat fatigue.

Note: The electrodes have a clip fastener to ensure easy i c ­ onnection. nsert the connecting cable connector into the socket at the I back of the machine (Fig. ) = Cycle switch-on time in seconds (contraction) – Off-Time (sec. ) = Cycle switch-off time in seconds (relaxation) Note: Electrode position is supposed to surround the painful area. With painful muscle groups, the electrodes are grouped round the muscle affected. In case of joint pain, the joint on the front/rear side of the joint and, if electrode distances permit, on the right and left sides of the joint, should be surrounded with electrodes. Minimal electrode distance should not be less than 5 cm and not exceed 15 cm. Burst programmes are suitable for all sites which should be treated with an alternating signal pattern (to ensure minimum habituation). ) (Hz) 1 1 250 5 20 1 1 + 11 Shoulder muscles 2 + 12 Middle and lower trapezius muscle, lattisimus dorsi m ­ uscle, neck muscles 3 + 13 Back musculature near spinal column, Prog.

For optimal effect, electrode distance must not be greater than approx. The electrodes should not be applied to the anterior wall of the thorax, i. 5 Information on placing the electrodes For the desired success of any stimulation application, it is important that electrodes are placed sensibly. We advise you to coordinate with your doctor regarding the best electrode positions for your intended field of application. The following applies when choosing electrode positions: Electrode distance The greater the electrode distance which is selected, the greater will be the volume of tissue that is stimulated. At the same time, however, the strength of tissue stimulation decreases as the electrode distance becomes greater, which means that, if a greater electrode distance is chosen, a greater volume is stimulated, but stimulation is weaker. 24 The following guideline holds when selecting electrode distances: • most reasonable distance: approx. [. . . ] (2) Before each application, clean the skin, avoiding using any skin cream or oils before treatment. Make sure that the connecting leads are properly connected to the electrodes. Make sure that there is a firm contact between the electrodes and the treatment area. (2) Make sure that the plug of the connecting lead is firmly connected to the machine. [. . . ]
