Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTION tion 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. 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.
Chapter 3 : WARNINGS Chapter 4: GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1. Caution should be used in applying TENS to patients suspected of having heart disease. Further clinical data is needed to show there are no adverse results. The AGF-5X DIGITAL SD TENS is a battery operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses electrodes to the body and reach the nerves caus- 2.

Chapter 6 : TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Chapter 7 : REPLACABLE PARTS The technical specification details of AGF-5X DIGITAL SD TENS are as follows. MECHANISM TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The replaceable parts and accessories of DIGITAL SD TENS devices are as given below – Except leads, electrodes and battery, battery case cover, please do not try to replace the other parts of a device. 01. Channel 02. Pulse Ampulitude Dual, isolated between channels Adjustable, 0-80 mA peak into 500 ohm load 03.

Chapter 11 : ATTACHMENT OF ELECTRODE LEAD WIRES Chapter 14: ELECTRODE PLACEMENT The wires provided with the system insert into the jack sockets located on top of the device. Holding the insulated portion of the connector, push the plug The placement of electrodes can be one of the most important parameters in achieving success with TENS therapy. Of utmost importance is the willing- end of the wire into one of the jacks (see drawing); one or two sets of wires may be used.
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.
5. Pulse Rate Control Pulse rate is adjustable from 2Hz to 150 Hz . Its value is visible on the LCD. This buttons determine how many electrical impulses are applied through the skin each second. By pressing these controls, the number of current impulses per second (Hz) for both channels can be continually adjusted. Unless otherwise instructed, turn the pulse rate control to the 70-120 Hz range. 3. Lead Connector Connection of the electrodes is made with two-lead connector.
Chapter 18: BATTERY INFORMATION AGF-5X TENS can be used with a rechargeable battery when necessary. If you use rechargeable batteries, please follow the instructions. RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: A. Increase When pressing this button, the pulse width will increase gradually. Prior to the use of a new unit, the rechargeable battery should be charged according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
(d) WARNINGS: 1. Do not attempt to charge any other types of batteries in your charger, other than the nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may leak or burst. 2. Do not incinerate the rechargeable battery as it may explode! - make sure the inscriptions and labels are not distorted. 3. Check the usability of accessories. - patient cable undamaged. - electrodes undamaged. Please consult your distributor if there are any problems with device and accessories.
Chapter 23 : WARRANTY All AGF-5X SD TENS models carry a warranty of three year from the date of delivery. The warranty applies to the stimulator only and covers both parts and labour relating thereto. The warranty does not apply to damage resulting from failure to follow the operating instructions, accidents, abuse, alteration or disassembly by unauthorized personnel.
