8. Turn the TENS off before applying or removing electrodes.
9. TENS devices have no AP/APG protection. Do not use it in the presence of
explosive atmosphere and flammable mixture.
Chapter 3: WARNINGS
1. Caution should be used in applying TENS to patients suspected of having heart
disease. Further clinical data is needed to show there are no adverse results.
2. The safety of TENS devices for use during pregnancy or birth has not been
established.
Do not use TENS during pregnancy.
3. TENS is not effective for pain of central origin. (This includes headache.)
4. TENS devices should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician.
5. TENS devices have no curative value.
6. TENS is a symptomatic treatment and as such suppresses the sensation of pain
which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
7. Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms) may
not operate properly when TENS stimulation is in use.
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 thorax because it may cause a cardiac
arrhythmia.
9. Do not place electrodes on the front of the throat as spasm of the Laryngeal and
Pharyngeal muscle may occur.
10. Care should be taken so that when operating potentially dangerous machinery
the stimulator controls are not changed abruptly.
11. Electrodes should not be placed over the eyes, in the mouth, or internally.
12. Keep this device out of the reach of children.
13. Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or no the order of a physician.
Chapter 4 : GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TENS 3000 is a battery operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses
electrodes to the body and reach the nerves causing pain. The device is provided
with two controllable output channels, each independent of each other. An electrode
pair can be connected to each output channel.
The electronics of the TENS 3000 create electrical impulses whose Intensity,
duration, number per second and modulation may be altered with the controls or
switches. Dial controls are very easy to use and the slide cover prevents accidental
changes in the setting.
