INTRODuCTION

Indications

This device is restricted to sale or use by or on
the order of a physician licensed in the state in
which he or she is practicing. It is to be used
solely for the symptomatic relief of chronic in­tractable pain.

Contraindications

1. Do not place the TENS electrodes over the
carotid artery (neck) region.

2. Patients with implanted electronic devices
(for example, a pacemaker) or metallic im­plants should not undergo TENS treatment
without rst consulting a physician.

3. Do not apply the TENS electrodes so that
current passes transcerebrally (through the
head).

4. The use of TENS whenever pain symptoms are
undiagnosed and the etiology has not been
established.

To the Patient

You have been diagnosed as having a type of pain
discomfort that may be alleviated by the use of
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The

2000-T TENS 3

2000-T generates electrical pulses that are sent
through the electrodes which are placed over
nerve centers. The various pulses employed by
2000-T can block pain signals normally sent to
the brain through nerve bers, thereby inter­rupting the brain’s awareness of pain. The 2000-T
may activate the release of endorphins which
are chemicals used by the body to suppress pain
naturally.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
(TENS) is:

- Safe.

- Non-invasive.

- Non-pharmaceutical.

- Non-addictive.

Many clinical studies have shown the effective­ness of TENS for the relief of pain. Your 2000-T
can reduce the need for pharmaceuticals if used
as prescribed by your physician. Abide by the
warnings and contraindications listed in this
manual when undergoing TENS treatment.
