Page 8: Warnings And Cautions
WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS PLEASE NOTE: Patients must read and understand the warnings and precautions before using this device. Do not allow your machine or electrodes to be used by anyone else, as they are designed for single patient use only. It is recommended that proper medical advice on the use of TENS is sought from a Qualified Practitioner (Physiotherapist, Doctor or Nurse) before use, to ensure safe and effective treatment. - Page 9 WARNINGS 1. The long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown. 2. Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex. 3. Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.

Page 10: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The EM6200A Digital EMS is a battery operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses electrodes to the body and reach the nerves and underlying muscle group. The device is provided with four controllable output channels, each independent of each other. - Page 11 INTRODUCTION TO EMS HOW EMS WORKS 1. Relaxation of muscle spasms 2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy 3. Increasing local blood circulation 4. Muscle re-education 5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis 6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerves in the treatment area.

Page 18: Choosing The Correct Parameters
Frequency Selection With all muscle stimulators, it is important that the frequency, pulse width and work rest times are set correctly, to both maximise the results and use the device in a safe and responsible manner. 15-25Hz (pulse per second) 5-15Hz (pulse per second) 25-50Hz (pulse per second) This frequency range would be selected to improve tone and muscle stability. - Page 19 Work Rest (Contraction /Relaxation) Times When setting the work / rest times it is important that the rest time is at least Ramp Time equal to the work time; for example 4 seconds on time 4 seconds off time. For weaker muscles a larger rest time will be required for example 4 seconds on This allows for muscle recovery and reduces muscle fatigue.
