Letter To The Patient - VQ OrthoCare Avid IF2 Manual Para El Paciente Y Para El Médic

Letter to the Patient

Your physician has prescribed the Avid IF2™ as part of your treatment plan.
The Avid IF2 is an interferential stimulator. It will help reduce pain and
other symptoms of your condition.
The Avid IF2 sends small pulses of current through electrodes* on your
skin. These pulses pass through the skin and activate nerves. The Avid IF2
activates sensory nerves at low levels. This causes a tingling sensation
and helps with pain. Motor nerves are activated at higher levels. This
helps increase circulation.
Always follow the instructions of your physician to get the most out
of your treatment. He or she knows your specific condition and the
Avid IF2 settings. He or she will instruct you on the proper settings for your
individual condition.
If you have any questions about the Avid IF2 or need any assistance
in setting up or maintaining this equipment, or to report unexpected
operations or events, contact VQ OrthoCare at 800.452.7993.
NOTE: The Avid IF2 is not a substitute for full medical evaluation and
treatment. Talk to your physician or therapist if you have any questions
about the Avid IF2 or your treatment plan. The Avid IF2 should only be
used by the person for whom it is prescribed.
* For use only with stimulating electrodes, commonly referred to as "electrodes" throughout this manual
