Forward - Empi Phoenix Manual De Usuario

1. Foreword
The Empi Phoenix is a multifunctional electrotherapy device that provides two channels of neuromuscular electrical
stimulation (NMES), transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), or pulsed DC (Edema treatment). This wide-ranging
capability allows the patient to receive electrotherapy throughout the recovery cycle using a single device. Its simplified
programming makes the device convenient for home use: after placing the electrodes and selecting the program as
prescribed by a healthcare professional, the patient only needs to increase the intensity to begin therapy.
The Phoenix device's NMES Disuse Atrophy and Reinforcement programs utilize an electrical stimulus that, when properly
applied, activates specific muscles or muscle groups to help treat disuse atrophy and re-educate muscles. The pre-set
programs are designed to provide therapeutic benefit while minimizing complexity for the patient and clinician. The device
can be paired with the Empi Phoenix Conductive Garment for the thigh, which is designed to make treatment of the knee/
quadriceps with NMES easier for the patient and clinician.
The Phoenix device also includes a traditional TENS program for pain management and a pulsed DC Edema program to
increase local blood circulation and reduce edema (swelling).
Read this User Manual carefully before using the Phoenix device. Pay particular attention to the Safety Information
in Section 4 and additional warnings throughout the manual.
