1.2
General information on OMRON E2 ELITE Electronic Nerve Stimulator
The OMRON E2 ELITE Electronic Nerve Stimulator
is an electro-therapeutic device.
The E2 ELITE Electronic Nerve Stimulator enables you to
reduce and relieve your pain symptoms. The treatment alleviates muscle and nerve pain through gentle stimulation. But
always remember that pain also has a very important warning
function, telling us that something is wrong. If you suffer from
any serious illness, consult your doctor in order to confirm
whether you can use the Electronic Nerve Stimulator.
For active people, it provides a massaging experience which
has a very beneficial effect on muscle and shoulder or neck
stiffness. It is very good for soothing overall bodily fatigue and
improves the blood circulation in the treated areas.
1.3 Features of the product
• 9 Automatic Programmes
The device allows you to select your favourite stimulation programme for optimized treatment according to your symptom
and needs.
Quick RELIEF Button (for muscle pain)
This function relieves acute pain quickly with high frequency of
1200 Hz. It is suitable for treatment of pain in the lower back
and joints.
REGION Button (4 programmes for shoulders, sole, calf,
and lower back)
Treats the selected region with effective pre-programmed
modes.
Our nerves, which radiate throughout the entire body as a
complex network, perform various tasks which are indispensable for maintaining proper functioning. They conduct
impulses between the central nervous system and an organ or
a part of the body. They also transmit commands from and to
the brain, and they regulate the body’s functions, as well as
muscle contraction and relaxation. Using this method of Electrical Nerve Stimulation, the important nerve functions can be
activated effectively. The electrical impulses, which are comparable to the natural bioelectricity, stimulate the body’s painrelieving mechanisms. In this way, the transmission of pain by
the nerve fibres is inhibited and secretion of pain-relieving,
morphine like substances such as endorphins, are triggered.
Furthermore, the blood flow through the treated body zones is
improved.
MASSAGE Button (4 programmes for Tapping, Kneading,
Pushing, and Rubbing)
Allows you to select the massage method according to your
needs.
• 4 Special Modes
Allows you to adjust the unit to your favourite stimulations.
Use the Special Modes of SOFT, REPEAT, POINT, WIDE and
Balance Adjustment (switching between red and
white buttons) in combination with the Automatic programme
to receive treatment in your favourite stimulation mode.
• Washable and long-lasting Long-Life Pads
1.4 Intended use
Medical Purpose
This Electronic Nerve Stimulator is intended to be used as a
massager to relieve (muscle) pain, stiffness and fatigue. The
massaging effect is achieved by electronic stimulation of the
nerves through electrode pads placed on the skin. Various
massage regions and treatment programs can be selected.
Suitable Users
Please read “Notes on safety” before using the unit.
(This unit should not be used by people prohibited from doing
so in “Notes on safety”.)

1.6 Information on high & low-frequency therapy
What is frequency?
Frequency is the number of times electric stimulation is
applied to the body per second and is represented by a unit
called Hertz (Hz).
I. What is Low Frequency?
Although we do not notice it, our bodies generate very weak
electricity from various parts of the body including the brain,
heart, muscles, and nerves. This electricity is called bioelectricity. The bioelectricity plays an essential role for the normal
functioning of our bodies. Our bodies sensitively react to electric stimulation applied from the outside and cause various
changes. The method to treat abnormality of bioelectricity,
which is manifested as stiffness or pain, by effectively using
the above mentioned action is called electrotherapy of which
low-frequency therapy is typical.
Effects of low frequency stimulation
Low-frequency stimulation is effective in relieving symptoms of
chronic pain, stiffness and numbness. It is said to have the
effects to activate secretion of pain surpressing substances or
to improve the blood circulation.
Mechanism of low-frequency electrotherapy
Muscles contract and relax with the flow of the low-frequency
current. When the muscle relaxes, a large amount of blood
flows in, and when the muscle contracts, the blood containing
wastes is pumped out. With repeated actions, the blood flows
smoother and the blood circulation is improved.
Shutting out pain signal
When low-frequency current flows to the region experiencing
pain, it acts on the transmission mechanism of pain.
Thus low-frequency current is said to reduce the transmission
of pain to the brain.
II. What is High Frequency?
High frequency stimulation is effective for acute (nerve) pain
and is said to be especially useful in the immediate blockage
of pain transmission compared to low-frequency stimulation.
Standard treatment time
Long-time treatment and strong stimulation may cause muscular fatigue and may generate adverse effects. In order to
avoid excessive treatment, this model is made to turn off the
power automatically after 15 minutes.
