TENS/EMS/massage target group
This device is intended for self-treatment in the home, and not in professional
healthcare facilities. Suitable for use by all adults suffering from pain as indicat-
ed in the indications below.
Clinical benefits
Treatment of pain due to various causes.
Non-clinical benefits
• Muscle training to increase endurance and/or
• training to support the strengthening of specific muscles or muscle groups,
and to achieve the desired changes to physical proportions.
• Acceleration of muscle regeneration after intense muscular output (e.g. af-
ter a marathon).
• Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue.
• Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension.
Indications
Use of the device is advised for:
• Back pain – pain at rest and on exertion
• Joint pain – pain at rest and on exertion
• Neuralgia, including phantom pain
• Menstrual cramps
• Pain due to circulatory disorders – pain at rest and on exertion
• Headaches
• Pain after musculoskeletal injuries – pain at rest and on exertion
• Chronic pain due to various causes – pain at rest and on exertion
Contraindications
• Stimulation should not be carried out
- on or through the head,
- directly on the eyes,
- over the mouth,
- on the front of the neck (particularly not the carotid sinus), or
- with the electrode surfaces placed on the chest, upper back or
- across the heart.
• The device must never be used near to the heart. The stimulation electrodes
must not be placed on any part of the front ribcage (where the ribs and
breastbone are located), and especially not on the two large pectorals. This
can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest (see
"General warnings" section).
• Do NOT use the device
- On the skeletal skull structure, or around the mouth, throat or larynx.
- In the neck/carotid artery area.
- In the genital area.
- If you have implanted electrical devices
(e.g. a pacemaker).
- If you have metal or electrical implants.
- If you use an insulin pump.
- If you have a high temperature (e.g. > 39°C).
- If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia or disorders of the
heart's conduction system.
- On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin (e.g. inflamed
skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes (e.g. allergies), burns,
bruises, swellings, both open and healing wounds, or post-operative
scars that are healing).
- If you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy).
- If you are pregnant.
- If you have cancer.
- After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the healing
process.
- If you are connected to a high-frequency surgical device.
- If you have an acute or chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract.
- In the case of a known allergy to the electrode material

• Slight redness, burning and pain of the skin after treatment
