Thank you for purchasing the Med-Fit Premier 2 Wireless TENS and Neuromuscular Stimulator. It is the most advanced Wireless Stimulator and is manufactured to the highest of medical standards which fully comply to the Medical Device Directive (M.D.D). The Med-Fit Premier 2 Wireless TENS/EMS device is a rechargeable battery operated Stimulator which sends electrical impulses from the remote control to the modules.
The Med-Fit Wireless TENS uses high quality medical grade Self-Adhesive Hydro-Gel pads, which adhere to your skin (please see connecting the self-adhesive electrodes section in this user manual). Each time you apply the pad to your skin the Hydro-Gel loses a small amount of moisture.
ELECTRODE INSTRUCTIONS The Med-Fit Premier 2 Wireless TENS is supplied with 2 x 5cm x 14cm Electrodes 2 x 8cm x 22cm Large Back Electrode To connect the module simply press the modules onto the snap connectors on your electrodes. Remove the plastic film from the electrode and place directly to the area of the body to be treated.

Turn Stimulator OFF before applying or removing electrodes Application 1. Skin site must be very clean and dry. Dirty, flaky or oily skin will prevent electrodes from adhering to the skin. If necessary, trim excess hair with scissors. If skin is oily wipe down with an alcohol or electrode skin prep prior to application.
PLEASE NOTE: It is imperative that patients 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) prior to use, in order to ensure safe and effective treatment.
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.
What is TENS? Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a pain control treatment. It is often called TENS for short. A TENS unit is a portable, pocket-sized, battery-powered device. The TENS unit uses mild, safe electrical signals to help control pain and delivers the electrical signal to the body through self-adhesive conductive electrodes.
Page 17
During the TENS treatment If your muscles start to twitch, this may mean that the TENS signals are too strong or too fast. If you cannot feel any tingling at all, this may mean that the signal is too weak or too slow.

We always recommend you start with programme 3, as already mentioned in your step-by- step guide. The Med-Fit 2 Premier Wireless TENS has 9 programmes P1 to P9, Each programme has been shown to reduce and block pain in a wide range of conditions. It is very difficult to know which programme is best for you.
Once you have familiarised yourself with the controls and features of your TENS device, it is important to place the TENS electrodes in a position which gives the most pain relief. This may take 3 or 4 attempts to find the most suitable position for maximum pain relief. If you are using one module, place the electrode directly onto the painful area.
This EMS unit is used for muscle stimulation. The device is provided with controllable output channels, each independent of the other. A pair of electrodes can be connected to each output channel. An independent switch controls the intensity level and settings. Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an accepted and proven way of treating muscular injuries.
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.
The TENS+ Company warrants to the initial Purchaser (“Purchaser”) (and to no other person) that the product with the exclusion of accessories such as chargers, rechargeable batteries, electrodes, lead wires, self-adhesive electrodes and the component parts thereof, distributed or manufactured for three years from the initial date of purchase from The TENS+ Company (“the Warranty Period”).
There are many questions as to the optimal position for the adhesive electrodes during an electro-stimulation session. Consequently, we are going to try to answer your various question by setting out below the effective positions for the sport (rectangular) and beauty (round) electrodes for different areas of the body. We are definitely not trying to give an anatomy class here but it is necessary to understand the whole muscle system to get a more precise grasp of the human muscle system.

Forearm Biceps This position is useful for muscle training and for gaining volume using the devices' muscle strengthening STIMULATOR ELECTRODE PLACEMENT programmes. But it is equally very useful for diminishing the effects of lactic acid (substances manufactured by the muscles after sporting exertion and that result in pain during the following few hours).
