Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTIONEXPLANATION OF PAIN Chapter 2 : CAUTIONS 1. Precautions: 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 Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following logn-term application.
. TENS devices should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician. Chapter 5 : CONSTRUCTION 5. TENS devices have no curative value. 6. TENS is a symptomatic treatment and as such suppresses the sensation of pain which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism. 7. Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when TENS stimulation is in use. 8.
Chapter 6 : TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Chapter 7 : REPLACABLE PARTS The technical specification details of AGF-3X TENS are as follows. 1. MECHANISM Channel TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Dual, isolated between channels 2. Pulse Ampulitude Adjustable, 0 - 80 mA peak into 500 ohm load each channel 3. 4. Pulse Rate Pulse Width Adjustable, from 2 to 150 Hz Adjustable, from 30 to 260 microseconds 5.
The label attached to the back of device directly through the area of pain or localized enervation), a quick pulse rate (setting greater than 80Hz on the Pulse Rate Control) is desired. The patient contains important message about this device- model, serial number, supply should not perceive individual pulses but rather have the sensation of steady continuous stimulation. voltage, CE number and classification. Please do not remove.
Chapter 11 : ATTACHMENT OF ELECTRODE LEAD WIRES Chapter 14 : ELECTRODE PLACEMENT The wires provided with the system insert into the jack sockets The placement of electrodes can be one of the most important parameters in achieving success with TENS therapy. Of utmost importance is the willing- located on top of the device. Holding the insulated portion of the ness of the clinician to try the various styles of electrode placement to find which method best fits the needs of the individual patient.
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. Saturation with water will reduce the adhesive properties. Important Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed. 4. Many skin problems arise from the “pulling stress” from adhesive patches 1. Do not apply to broken skin. 2. The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
higher frequencies, the lamp will appear to be constantly illuminated. 3. On/Off Switch and Intensity Control : 5. Mode Control Expose the controls by sliding front cover down from top of unit. This switch If both controls are in the off-position (white markings on the housing), the device is switched off. has 3 positions: B for Burst stimulation, N for Constant stimulation, and M for modulation stimulation.
The use of any attachment not supplied with the charger may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. 8. Check/Replace the Battery: Over time, in order to ensure the functional safety of TENS, changing the battery is necessary. (2)Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging time. (3)After the battery manufacturer’s recommended charging time has been 1. Make sure that both intensity controls are switched to off position.
from the battery compartment (acid may leak from used batteries and damage the device). Put the device and accessories in carrying box and keep it in cool dry place. 6. The packed TENS device should be stored and transported under the - for possible damage to the cable. Change the cable if any damage is detected. * If there is any other problem, please return the device to your distributor. Do not try to repair a defective device.
