Description
TENS stimulator, EMS and double output channel MASSAGGIO. Before use, read carefully all instructions contained in this user manual and keep it safe for future use.
The Tesmed TE-880R PLUS stimulator belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. It has three basic functions: TENS (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation), EMS (electronic muscle stimulation) and MASSAGGIO.
Functions of the Tesmed TE-880R PLUS stimulator: the device has 73 programs (11 TENS programs, 10 EMS programs and 52 MASSAGE programs) and applies electrical currents in the range of low frequencies for therapy. Each program controls generated electrical impulses, their intensity, frequency and pulse width.
Based on the simulation of the natural impulses of the body, the mechanism of electrical stimulation equipment is to create electrical impulses that are transmitted transcutanely to nerves or muscle fibers through the electrode. The intensity of the two channels can be adjusted independently and applied individually to a part of the body. This double channel device can be used with eight electrodes. The electrical impulse is first transmitted to the tissue and then transmits stimulation to the nerves and muscles in the various parts of the body.
The Massage function is a non-medical function. The Massage stimulation program provides relaxing muscle vibrations.
TENS mode of use:
used for temporary relief of pain associated with sore muscles and neck, shoulders, back, joints, hips, hands, abdomen, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (legm) due to exercise stress or normal domestic work.
It is also intended for symptomatic relief and chronic and intractable pain management and pain relief associated with arthritis.
EMS mode:
1) relaxation of muscle spasms;
2) prevention or delay of disuse atrophy;
3) increase in local blood circulation;
4) muscle re-education;
5) immediate post-surgical stimulation of the calf to prevent venous thrombosis;
6) maintenance or increase of the range of TENS or EMS movements can be used at home or in hospital, use must be done by patients aged 18 or older.
Mode of use
1. Connect electrodes to the caves
Insert the cable connector into the electrode connector. Make sure they are connected properly to ensure good performance.
2. Connect electrode cables to the device
Before proceeding with this step, make sure the device is completely off. Hold between your fingers the isolated part of the cable connector and insert it into the socket on the top of the main device. Make sure the electrode cables are inserted correctly. The device has two output sockets controlled by channel A and channel B at the top of the unit. You can unwield to use a channel with a hollow and four electrodes or both channels with two cables and eight electrodes.
3. Electrodes
- Electrodes must be regularly replaced when they begin to lose their adhesiveness. If you are not sure of electrode adhesive properties, order new replacement electrodes. Follow the application procedures indicated on the electrode packaging when using the new spare electrodes, to maintain optimal stimulation and prevent irritation of the skin.
- Place the electrode on the part of the body that needs treatment, according to the instructions of this user manual. Before use, clean the skin and make sure the skin and electrode are well connected.
