Product Description
BioMedical Impulse 3000 TENS Unit is a battery operated pulse generator, which sends electrical impulses to the body and reach the nerves causing pain. It is provided with two controllable output channels where each is independent of the other. An electrode pair can be connected to each output channel. Electronics of the TENS 3000 create electrical impulses whose duration,intensity, number per second and modulation may be altered with controls or switches. Dial controls are quite easy to use and the slide cover prevents accidental setting changes.

How 3000 TENS Unit Works?
TENS is used to relieve pain. TENS 3000 sends comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerves in the treatment area. In most cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or even eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by mode selected for therapy, individual patient and the type of pain. In many patients, reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation, sometimes as much as three to four times longer. In other patients, pain is only modified while stimulation actually occurs.
Indications For Use:
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device is used for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long-term) intractable pain. It works as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain problems.
- The wires provided with the system insert into the jack sockets located on top of the device
- Holding the insulated portion of the connector, push the plug end of the wire into one of the jacks (see drawing); one or two sets of wires may be used
- After connecting the wires to the stimulator, attach each wire to an electrode
- Use care when you plug and unplug the wires
- Jerking the wire instead of holding the insulated connector body may cause wire breakage
- Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly with soap and water prior to application of electrodes
- Insert the lead wire into the pin connector on the pre-wired electrodes.
- Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply the electrodes firmly to the treatment site.
- Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel; do not pull on the lead wires because it may damage the electrodes
- Place the electrodes on the liner and remove the lead wire by twisting and pulling at the same time.
- TENS devices can adversely affect the operation of demand-type cardiac pacemakers
- TENS is not recommended for patients with known heart disease without a physician’s evaluation of risk
- Do not stimulate over the eyes or ¬carotid sinus nerves
- Do not apply TENS for undiagnosed pain syndromes until etiology is established
- Do not place electrodes in a manner that causes current to flow transcerebrally (through the head)
- TENS 3000 should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician, or outside the USA, by a qualified pain management specialist
- TENS is ineffective for pain of central origin, (i.e. appendicitis, hepatitis)
- TENS is of no curative value; it is a symptomatic treatment which suppresses pain sensation which would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism on the outcome of the clinical process
- Safety of TENS devices for use during pregnancy or delivery has not been established
- Electronic equipment such as ECG monitors and ECG alarms may not operate properly when TENS is in use
- The user must keep the device out of the reach of children
- TENS is for external use only.
Precautions:
- Avoid adjusting controls while operating machinery or vehicles
- Turn the stimulator off before applying or removing electrodes
- Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following long-term application
- Effectiveness is dependent upon patient selection by a qualified pain specialist
Adverse Reactions:
- Possible allergic reaction to tape or gel
- Possible skin irritation or electrode burn
- Equipmentis not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide
