The Easy TENS is an ultra-simple, yet powerful
digital TENS unit. It is ideal for numerous acute and
chronic pain conditions.

effects. It can also be used in conjunction with any additional
medication if required.
Precautions And
Contraindications
1. Do NOT use the Easy
TENS if you have a cardiac
pacemaker.
2. Check with your medical
adviser before using if you
suffer from a heart condition,
undiagnosed pain, have
any metal implants, or any
doubts whatsoever.
3. TENS must NOT be used
before the 37th week of
pregnancy.
4. Never use TENS to mask
undiagnosed pain since
this could require urgent
treatment.
5. If you are pregnant, do NOT
place the electrodes over
your abdomen.

What Is TENS?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) works by
passing mild electrical impulses through the skin, into the nerve
fibres which lie below, via electrode pads. TENS impulses help your
body produce its own pain killing chemicals, such as ‘endorphins’.
What Can TENS Be Used For?
TENS can be used for many chronic and acute pain conditions
such as back pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, sciatica, sports injuries,
migraine, period pain and post-operative pain.
This unit needs special precautions regarding EMC
and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in the
ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT.

Using Your Easy TENS
The Easy TENS has 2 TENS modes. Each has been designed to
provide a different sensation.You can use either of the TENS
modes to treat your pain.
BURST
is generally used for chronic pain conditions.
BOOST
is generally used for acute pain conditions.
To Commence Treatment
1. Carefully peel the electrodes from the plastic backing, using
your forefinger and thumb.
2. Position the electrodes in accordance with the instructions
provided with your electrodes or preferably from your medical
advisor.
3. Once the electrodes are positioned correctly, switch the unit
on. BURST will appear on the screen.
4. Gradually increase the intensity by using the arrow UP key,
until the sensation is comfortable. Intensity can be reduced
by using the arrow DOWN key.
To switch to the BOOST mode simply press the BOOST button
and start the process again. To return back to the BURST mode,
press the BOOST button again.
