GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EV-806 Digital TENS/EMS is a battery operated pulse generator that sends electrical
impulses electrodes to the body and reach the nerves and underlying muscle group. This
unit is a combination stimulator of TENS and EMS which can be used for muscle
stimulation and pain relief. The device is provided with four controllable output channels,
each independent of each other. An electrode pair can be connected to each output
channel. The intensity level is controlled by press buttons.
INTRODUCTION
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.
Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body,
nature may have gone too far in its design. Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-lasting
persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until coded message travels
to the brain where it is decoded, analysed, and then reacted to. The pain message travels
from the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message
is switched to different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. The pain message
is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.
EXPLANATION OF TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of
controlling pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to
modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem; it only helps
control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone; however, in most patients it is effective
in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.
