EMS is not recommended for patients with known heart disease without physical evaluation of risk. Do not use EMS on the carotid sinus(neck) region. Do no Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTION apply EMS for undiagnosed pain syndromes until etiology is established. Do not stimulate on the site that may cause current to flow transcerebrally(through EXPLANATION OF EMS Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an internationally accepted and proven way of treating muscular injuries.
7. Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may not operate properly when EMS stimulation is in use. Chapter 5 : CONSTRUCTION 8. There should be a prominently placed statement warning that stimulus delivered by this device may be sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow through the throax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia. 9.
Chapter 6 : TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION The technical specification details of AMS-4 EMS are as follows. Chapter 7 : REPLACABLE PARTS The replaceable parts and accessories of EMS devices are as given below – Except leads, electrodes and battery, battery case cover, please do not try to re- MECHANISM 01.

The label attached to the back of device ing 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, the name of manufacturer, CE number and classification. Please do not remove.
Stimulation will continue at the setting contraction time and cease also at the setting relaxation time. Then the cycle starts over again – Stimulation, Contrac- CAUTION tion and Relaxation. Do not insert the plug of the patient lead wire into the AC power supply socket.
trodes alongside the affected muscles or muscle groups, in such a way as to direct the flow of current through or around the area. DERMATOMES, MYOTOMES AND SCLEROTOMES Chapter 15 : TIPS FOR SKIN CARE To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow these suggestions: 1. Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the electrodes, using mild soap and water before applying electrodes, and after taking them off. Be sure to rinse soap off thoroughly and dry skin well.
2. Place the electrodes on the liner and remove the lead wire by twisting and pulling at the same time. 2. Display Led Each of the leds illuminates whenever the electronics of the device create a current impulse at contraction time and does not illuminate when the stimulation is ceased at relaxation time. Due to the capacity of the human eye, the illumination of the lamp can only be recognized up to a frequency of approximately 30 Hz.
5. Pulse Rate Control: This dial determines how many electrical impulses are applied through the skin each second. By turning these controls, the number of current impulses per 8. Relaxation Time Control This dial determines the time of relaxation. The stimulation ceases at setting relaxation time and then re-start in a cycle pattern. The relaxation time of both channels is changed by turning this dial. The range of it is adjustable from 1 second (Hz) for both channels can be continually adjusted.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover and remove. 3. Remove the battery from the compartment. To ensure optimum battery performance, follow these guidelines: (a) Although overcharging the batteries for up to 24 hours will not damage 4. Insert the battery into the compartment. Note the polarity indicated on the battery and in the them, repeated overcharging may decrease useful battery life. (b) Always store batteries in their charged condition.
Chapter 20: SAFETY-TECHNICAL CONTROLS Chapter 22 Conformity to Safety Standards For safety reasons, check your AMS-4 EMS each week based on the following checklist. STATEMENT OF EMC 1. Check the device for external damage. - deformation of the housing. The AMS-4 EMS devices are in compliance with IEC 60601-1-2: 1993. - damaged or defective output sockets. 2. Check the device for defective operating elements. CONFORMITY TO MDD REQUIREMENTS - legibility of inscriptions and labels.
