Introduction
Thank you for purchasing OMRON E3 Intense.
In order to use the unit safely, read the complete manual carefully before using the unit for the ¿ rst
time.
How does it work?
E3 Intense uses Triple Action TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) technology that
helps to:
- block the pain message
- trigger the release of endorphins (natural pain killers)
- improve the blood circulation (as result of repeated muscle contracting and relaxing)
Intended use
Medical purpose
OMRON E3 Intense is a Pain Reliever intended for reducing and relieving muscles and joints pain,
stiffness and numbness in the back, arms, legs, shoulders and feet by applying electrical nerve
stimulation to the surface of the skin near the site of the pain. It should be applied to normal, healthy,
dry, and clean skin of adult patients.
Any of the modes can safely be used on body parts or pains described in this manual. Just ¿ nd one
that feels good and is comfortable on your pain. It can be successfully used in conjunction with any
other pain treatment or medication.
Since the 1970s, pain relief based on TENS has been widely used by many healthcare
professionals, such as physiotherapists and pain specialists.

use.
(5) For Hospitals and Clinics, simultaneous connection of a patient to a high frequency surgical Medical Electronic
equipment may result in burns at the site of the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the stimulator.
(6) For Hospitals and Clinics, operation in close proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or microwave therapy Medical
Electronic equipment may produce instability to the stimulator output.
Do not use this unit under these conditions

Important safety precautions and warnings
Do not alter the unit
Do not plug this cord into any other device that is not an OMRON E3 Intense.
No modi¿ cation of this unit is allowed.
Use this unit only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories recommended by the manufacturer
to avoid damage to the unit.
Warnings regarding the pads
Apply pads to normal, healthy, dry, and clean skin (of adult patients) because it may otherwise
disrupt the healing process.
If you experience any skin irritation or redness after a session, do not continue stimulation in that
area of the skin.
Precautions regarding the pads
Do not move the pads to another location while the unit is on.
Therapy won’t work with just 1 pad. You must use 2 pads at the same time.
Make sure the components are connected well and the pads are ¿ xed on the part of the body you
wish to treat or the therapy may not be effective.
Pads should not touch any metal object, such as a belt buckle, necklace, or other metal worn
under clothing.
Do not overlap pads or put pads on top of each other. It may weaken or stop therapy, or the unit
may stop working.
Gel pads may also stick together and cause gel to be removed when separating.
Do not share pads with another person. This may cause a skin irritation or infection. Pads are
intended for use by one person.
Do not leave pads attached to the skin after treatment.
Do not bend or fold because the gel may get damaged and it won’t stick or function properly.
To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads, put the pads only on the skin or on the
plastic pad holder provided to avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads.
Always place clean pads in accordance with illustrations provided (Refer to pages 12-14, Pad
Placement).
Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the pads or to your skin because it will disrupt the pads
from functioning properly. The self-adhesive pads will adhere to your skin.
Place pads at least 3 cm apart for optimal results.
