SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read instruction manual before operation. Be sure to comply with all “CAUTIONS” and “WARNINGS” in the manual. Failure to follow instructions can cause harm to user or
device malfunction.
Please read the following information before using your iReliev Dual Channel TENS+EMS Device
What is TENS?
The more precise term is Transcutaneous (meaning “through the skin”) Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). A TENS unit is an electrical powered device used to apply an electrical current to electrodes on a person’s skin to relieve pain associated with sore or aching muscles.
What is EMS or NMES?
EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. EMS has the potential to serve as a strength training and rehabilitation tool as well as offer post-exercise recovery benefits.
An EMS device is used to stimulate healthy muscles to improve muscle performance.
Warnings for proper use and safety
•Do not use this System if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator (s) or any other implanted metallic or electronic device. Such use could cause electric shock, burns, electrical interference, or death.
•Do not use this System if you have undiagnosed chronic pain.
•Do not use if you are pregnant. The safety of electronic muscle stimulation over the pregnant uterus has not been established.
4
•Do not use if you suffer from cancer. The effects of electronic stimulation on cancerous tissue is unknown.
•Do not use if you are under medical supervision for cognitive dysfunction as you may not be able to comply with safety instructions.
•Do not use if the unit is in close proximity to shortwave or microwave diathermy equipment or you are connected to high-frequency surgical equipment, because of risk of device interference.
•Do not wear the device or place electrode pads over areas at which drugs/medicines are administered (short-term or long-term) by injection (e.g. hormone treatment).
•Do not use if you have epilepsy.
•Do not use if you have recently undergone a surgical procedure.
•Do not use following acute trauma or fracture in case of critical ischemia of the limbs.
WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS
• If you are under the care of a Physician, consult with your Physician before using this system.
• The long-term effects of this system are not known.
• Do not place the pads on or close to your heart.
• Do not place the pads around or close to your neck.
• Do not apply stimulation over the neck. Severe spasm of the muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
Stimulation over the neck could also have adverse effect on hearing or blood pressure.
• Do not apply stimulation across the chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause
rhythm disturbances to the heart, which could be lethal.
5
•Do not place the pads on or around your head. The effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown.
•Do not use the electrode pads over or close to sores.
•Do not place the electrode pads on the front or sides of the neck across or through the heart (one pad on the front of the chest and one on the back), in the genital region, or on the head, because of the risk of stimulating inappropriate muscles and organs.
•Do not place the electrode pads over any recent scars, broken or inflamed areas of infection or susceptibility to acne, thrombosis or other vascular problems (e.g. varicose veins), or any part of the body where feeling is limited.
•Do not place the electrode pads over areas of injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains).
•Do not use while sleeping.
•Do not use if you feel numbness.
•Do not use in or close to water.
•Do not use the pads over or close to cancerous lesions.
•Use the electrode pads only on normal, healthy, clean and dry skin. Do not use the electrode pads on open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected or inflamed skin.
•If you have ever had back surgery, consult your Physician before using this System.
•You must position the pads and operate the unit ONLY as indicated in this manual.
•Avoid placing the pads over metal implants.
•Do not use in the bath or shower, or in an environment of elevated humidity (e.g. Sauna, hydrotherapy, etc).
6
Wait before using this system until:
•At least 6 weeks after the birth of your baby (consult your doctor before use).
•At least 1 month after an IUD contraceptive device (e.g. coil) has been fitted (consult your Doctor before use).
•At least 3 months after having a caesarean section (consult your doctor before use).
•If applicable, please allow heavy days of your menstrual flow to cease before use of this device. Vigorous abdominal exercise is not recommended under this circumstance.
Additional Precautions
• Keep this manual available whenever you use the system.
• The system is intended for personal use on healthy adults only.
• The effectiveness of the system depends greatly on a person’s individual physical condition. It may not always be effective for every user.
• The safety of TENS + EMS stimulation during pregnancy has not been established.
• Use caution when and/or if:
- User has skin areas that lack normal sensation.
- Following surgical procedures if muscle contractions might impede the healing process.
- Over a menstruating or pregnant uterus.
- There is a tendency to hemorrhage following acute trauma or fracture.
• Place electrode pads in accordance with illustrations in this manual.
• This unit should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any activity in which involuntary muscle
contractions may place the user at undue risk of injury.
7
•This unit should not be used while driving, operating machinery or during any activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may place the user at undue risk of injury.
•Some users may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or the conductive medium.
•Keep the device out of the reach of children.
•This device should only be used with iReliev® brand leads, electrode pads, and accessories.
•Application of moderate heat (thermal wrap) to muscles as well as moistening skin prior to treatment improves treatment efficacy; use of cold packs on treated muscles after treatment is also recommended.
•The device is not intended for medical use, for the treatment of any medical condition or for any permanent physical changes.
•Contact ExcelHealth, or an authorized dealer, if your unit is not working correctly. Do not use in the meantime.
•An effective session should not cause discomfort.
•For first time users, stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We recommend that
you begin in a seated position with low stimulation intensity settings to familiarize yourself with the sensation before progressing to higher intensity levels.
•Start all sessions in a sitting position (Fig. A1). If necessary, secure the limb(s) before using this device.
• Do not over exert yourself |

•Some people are sensitive to stimulation. If your skin is sensitive to the feeling, please stop use immediately and consult your Physician.
•If skin under one of more pads feels irritated after using the device for a long period of time, use the device for a shorter period of time.
•Minor redness at stimulation placement is a normal skin reaction. It is not considered as skin irritation, and it will normally disappear within 30 minutes after the electrodes are removed. If the redness does not disappear after 30 minutes from the removal of electrodes, do not use the device again until after the redness has disappeared.

•Turn off the device if the stimulation feels unpleasant or does not provide pain relief.
•Keep your device out of the reach of children.
•Use your device only with the electrode pads and accessories by the manufacturer.
•Do not use this System when driving, operating machinery or when swimming.
•Before removing the electrode pads or optional back wrap, be sure to power off device to avoid unpleasant stimulation.
After strenuous exercises or exertion:
Always use lower intensity to avoid muscle fatigue. Important:
•Do not use your device at the same time as any other device which transfers an electrical current into the body (e.g. another TENS device or EMS muscle stimulator).
•Cease using your device if you are feeling light headed or faint. Consult a Doctor if this happens.
•Do not touch the pads or metal studs while the device is switched on.
•Do not use the device if you are wearing a belly button ring. Remove ring before use.
•Note: If you are in any doubt about using device for any reason, please consult your doctor before using.
