Indications for Use
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
Indications
·
Muscle re
-
education
·
Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
·
Increasing local blood circulation
·
Maintaining or increasing range of motion
·
Relaxation of muscle spasms
Contraindications
·
This stimulator shall
not
be used on patients with a cardiac demand pacemaker.
·
Electrodes shall
not
be placed so that current will be applied to the carotid sinus
(neck) region or transcerebrally (through the head).
·
This stimulator shall
not
be used whenever pain syndromes are undiagnosed until
etiology is established.
Warnings
·
When using the separate external power supply, this medical electrical device
does not incorporate a power switch to isolate the system from the AC mains.
Unplug the power cord of the AC adapter from the AC mains outlet in order to
positively disconnect from the AC mains. Ensure that the AC outlet is easily
accessible.
·
This device is capable of generating current densities for electrodes exceeding 2
mA rms/cm
2
which may require special attention of the operator.
·
Do not exceed 0.5 W/cm
2
with recommended electrodes, assuming a load of 1000
Ω.
·
1” round: Maximum stimulation setting = 100 mA
·
2” round: Maximum stimulation setting = 100 mA
·
2” square: Maximum stimulation setting = 100 mA
·
Output waveform/power information:
When delivering stimulation energy, the NexWave in NMES mode is a constant
current output device. Therefore its output voltage, current, and power are
dependent upon the load as well as the pulse width and frequency of the output
waveform. The maximum peak voltage that the NexWave can produce is 100 V
(1000 Ω load).

Electrode and Lead Wire Setup (continued)
Step 4
Plug lead wires into the top of the NexWave while carefully observing their
orientation. The IFC modality requires both lead wires to be connected
(channel 1 & 2). TENS and NMES modalities require one or both lead wires.
Step 5
Proceed to page 16 to start treatment or page 12 to program device.
