is increased during a low intensity period of the modulation
cycle, the patient should increase the intensity slowly until
the modulation cycle reaches the maximum to insure a true
maximum intensity output. Strength-Duration Modulation
{SD1 & SD2} consists of alternating modulated amplitude and
width so that one parameter is always decreasing while the
other is increasing and vice versa. The amplitude decreases
from the amplitude control setting and returns to that setting.
The width decreases from the width control setting and
returns to that setting.
Time Duration:
The onset of pain relief should occur shortly after the intensity
setting has been determined. However, in some cases, pain
relief may take as long as 30 minutes to achieve. TENS
units are typically operated for long periods of time, with
a minimum of 20- 30 minutes and in some post-operation
protocols, as long as 36 hours. In general, pain relief will
diminish within 30 minutes of the cessation of stimulation.
Attachment of Electrode Lead Wires:
The wires provided with the device
insert into the jack sockets located
on top of the device. Holding the
insulated portion of the connector,
push the plug end of the wire into
one of the jacks (see drawing); one
or two sets of wires may be used.
After connecting the wires to the stimulator, attach each
wire to an electrode. Use care when you plug and unplug
the wires. Jerking the wire instead of holding the insulated
connector body may cause wire breakage.
