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.
