FOR THE PATIENT
INSTRUCTIONS
The Electro-Medic STIM-MEDIC stimulator
gives you the option of choosing the
treatment mode that best suits your needs:
treatment by NMES or TENS. In addition,
since it has 2 separate outputs, it allows
you to treat several parts of the body at
once in different modes with different
intensities; some programs and parameters
can be modified under the supervision of a
health care professional.
For optimal and completely safe use,
only use accessories provided by
Electro-Medic. In addition, setting the
device to the appropriate intensity and
progressive increases will provide the
comfort, improvement and relief you
seek. Increasing levels too quickly is
not recommended.

The electrodes used with this device must never be
smaller than 2.54 cm. Be aware that the smaller the
electrodes are, the more intense the stimulation will be
at the site of the electrodes. This increases the risk of
skin irritation at the site. Skin irritation may also occur
if the entire surface of the self-adhesive electrode does
not adequately stick to the skin. Replacement of the
self-adhesive electrodes after 15 to 20 uses at most
ensures optimal performance of the device. Carbon
electrodes must be used with a conductive gel so that
the current pases through adequately and effectively.
Refer to the additional instructions provided on their
packaging.

To non-irritated skin that has been
washed and dried, for the best
adherence and optimal
electrode performance.
Carbon electrodes are
recommended because
they can be moved to
achieve the most effective
positioning on the muscle
you are stimulating.
Self-adhesive electrodes
can then be used for
greater practicality.
