Package Contents
Intended Use or Indications
This product is a low-frequency electronic pulse massager designed to prevent
atrophy of numb muscles and provide massage benefits.
This product is intended for home use.
About Low-Frequency Electronic Pulse Massager
A Low-Frequency Electronic Pulse Massager relieves stiff muscles by sending
weak low-frequency electrical impulses across the surface of the skin through
electrodes placed on the body to induce muscle contraction and produce
muscle pump action and vasodilation that improve blood flow. The
low-frequency electrical impulses also relieve pain by stimulating nerves and
blocking pain signals to your brain.
Standard Treatment Time
The standard treatment time is approximately 15 minutes for one treatment area.
Excessive use (over 15 minutes) at a time could cause ill health.
This product is equipped with a timer that will automatically power off the device
after about 15 minutes of treatment.
Effective Treatment Time
The treatment is more effective when administered after a bath. It is more
effective in increasing blood flow when the body is warmed up.
Caution:
Be sure to remove sweat and water from the skin before using the device.
Please make sure all components are included. Although we aim to ensure that
all our products are carefully packaged.
