INDICATION FOR USE
The TENS and MIC modes are often prescribed for:
• Symptomatic relief of chronic pain
• Post traumatic pain
• Post surgical pain
TENS is a non-invasive, drug-free method of controlling pain
that uses tiny electrical impulses sent to the nerves to modify
your perception of pain. TENS does not cure any physiological
problem; it only helps control pain.
MIC stimulation consists of a very low current sent into the
cells of the body. The current is so faint it is measured in
millionths of an amp (or microamps) and is often not felt by
the user. MIC increases energy production in cells of your body
and increases tissue healing rates.
Steps 1 – 4 should be performed with the
device turned OFF. Once the unit has been
turned ON, do not remove electrodes
IMPORTANT!
without rst turning OFF the device.

intensity to a comfortable level and
contact your medical practitioner if
problems persist.
In the TENS therapeutic mode, if the electrodes are not placed rmly on the skin or the
device is not connected to the electrodes, the stimulator’s output surpasses 12mA and
will cancel out by automatically resetting to 0mA.
