2. Purpo
se.
T
he T-ONE
electronic stimulator is a medical de
vice specifically i
ntended for adults with
adequate knowledge of the de
vic
e acquired from reading the manual for domestic use.
T-ONE is used to apply elect
rical microimpulses, c
apable of producing energy, to the human
body. This energy, modulated in accordance with parameters typical to each impulse, can be
used for various purposes, from pain reduction to winding-down exe
rcises
, from mu
scl
e
str
engthening to drainage, from isotonic exe
rcises
to treating haematomas, to the treatment of
imperfections usi
ng the beauty programs. We recommend to consult your doctor before using
TENS and REHAB programs
.
Contraindications.
This
de
vice mus
t not be used by people with a pace-maker, epilept
ics
, pregnant women,
people with a high temperature, anxious people or people suffering from heart disease,
phlebitis, thrombophlebitis or serious
illnesses
.
In the event of injury, mu
scle stress
or any other health problem use the de
vic
e only under
medical s
upe
rvisi
on.
T
he ionophore
sis
program uses monopha

.
Sid
e effects
No signific
ant side effects are known of. Some particula
rly sensitiv
e people have reported
ski
n
r
edness in the area where the electrodes were positioned: the redness usua
lly dis
appears a
few minutes after the end of the treatment. Should the redness pe
rsis

Make sur
e that the plug and battery charger are intact. Should one of these parts show any
si
gn of damage, suspend use of the battery charger
immedi
ately and contact the retailer or
m
anufacturer.
Only use battery charger

•
It is forbidden to position the electrodes in such a way that the current crosses the heart area (e.g.
a black electrode on the chest and a red electrode on the shoulder blade); however electrodes
c
an be positioned along the muscular fa
sci
a of the heart area, as used for pectoral strengthening.
• Us
e of the de
vice is prohibi
ted with electrodes positioned on or close to injuries or cuts.
• T
he electrodes must not be positioned on the carotid sinuses (carotid) or genitals.
• T
he electrodes must not be positioned close to the eyes; make sure that the current
de
liver
ed does not cross the eyeball (one electrode diamet
rically
opposite to the other in
relati
on to the eye); keep a distance of at least 3 cm. from the eyeball.
• W
hen using the electrodes, follow the instructions given in this manual and on the package of
the electrodes themselves. Use single-patient electrodes, supplied e
xclusively
by the
m
anufacturer or retailer, and take great care to avoid the exchange of electrodes between
different users. T-ONE
has been tested and guaranteed for use with the electrodes supplied.
•
Insuff
ici
ently
siz
ed electrode sections can cause
skin reactions or
burns. Only use the round
electrodes supplied by the manufacturer for facial app
lications
.
• D
o not use electrodes when damaged, even if they st

n. Repeated use of the
sam
e electrodes can compro
mis
e the safety of the stimulation, in fact it can cause
ski
n
r
edness that can last for many hours after stimulation.
• Warni
ng! During treatment with round and 35 x 45 mm. electrodes, current density may be
i
n excess of 2 mA/cm²
for each electrode. In these cases take special care regarding any
skin r

7. T-ONE maintenan
ce and storag
e.
We recomm
end that T-ONE is switc
hed off and the cables are removed from the connectors at
the end of every se
ssi
on. T-ONE s
hould be kept in the ca
rry
bag supplied, together with the
res
t of the equipment supplied with it, and carefu
lly stor
ed on a secure surface and protected
from situations
lis
ted in the Warnings paragraph.
T-ONE should be stored in the following conditions:
Temper
ature: from -20°C to +40°C
Maximum relativ
e humidity: 75%
Atmos
phe
ric pressur
e: from 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
C
leani
ng:
only clean the de
vic
e using a dry cloth.
We recomm
end that the de
vic
e be subjected to a functional test ca
rri
ed out by the
m
anufacturer every 24 months.
T
he manufacturer retains that the T-ONE
de
vice c
annot be repaired by personnel external to
its
own company. Any work of this nature ca
rri
ed out by personnel not autho
ris
ed by the
m
anufacturer
will
be classed as tampering with the de
vic
e, freeing the manufacturer from
res
ponsib
ility
for the warranty and hazards that the operator or user may be exposed to.
N.B
. d
isc
onnect the cables before placing the electronic stimulator in the bag. If not, the cables
will
bend exce
ssively clos
e to the connectors. This may damage the cables.
8. Resolution of problems and questions.
Any
type of work on T-ONE mus
t be ca

ed out e
xclusively
by the manufacturer or by an
autho
ris
ed dealer. In any event, any presumed malfunction of T-ONE mus
t be verified before
s
ending the de
vic
e to the manufacturer.
Her
e below are some typical situations:
T-ONE ca
nnot be turned on:
• Ensur
e of presence of batteries in the unit.
• Rechar
ge the batteries and try to
switch i
t on again.
• Check
that the ON/OFF button has been pressed correctly (held down for at least one
sec
ond).
• Check
that batteries have correct polarity of the batteries.
T-ONE does
not transmit electr

9. Electrostimulation and stimulation intensity.
Electrostimulation con
sists
of the tran
smissi
on of elect
ric microimpulses
to the human body.
Fields
of app
licati
on of electrostimulation are: pain therapy, recovery of mu
scl
e troph
ism
after
injury or
a surgical operation, athletic preparation and beauty treatments.
Specific electric impulses ar
e used for every one of these app
lications
.
Th
e stimulation
intensity is displayed on the T-ONE scr
een for each channel in a scale
progre
ssi
ng from 0 to 120.
T
he types of impulses can be cla
ssifi
ed as follows:
1. Tens impu
lse: for tens programs, the intensity should be adjusted to a level between
the thresholds of perception and pain. The ma
ximum limit is reac
hed when the mu
scles
surr
ounding the area treated begin to contract. It is best to stay below that
limi
t.
2. I
onophoresis impu
lse: the intensity must be strong enough to produce a relevant
perception, near pain, t
ill
the mu
scles surr
ounding the area treated begin to contract.
3. Lipolysis/drainag
e impu
lse: the “pump” effect is produced by sequential tonic
c
ontractions. The intensity must be enough to produce these contractions: the greater
the contraction is, the greater the pump effect
will
be. But beware: there is no benefit to
be gained from enduring intensity high enough to cause pain. The f
irs
t
electrostimulation se
ssions s
hould be ca
rri
ed out at a low intensity to allow the organ
ism
to get used to new sensations. That way intensity can be increased gradua
lly
and
will
not be traumatic.
4. Warming-up impulse: in this case stimulation intensity must be increased gradua
lly
to
increas
e the metabo
lism
of the mu
scle concer
ned gradua
lly. A
bit
like wi
th a car: the
engine needs wa
rming-
up before it is taken to full speed.
5.
Toning, training, atr
oph
y c
ontraction impu
lse: the mu
scl
e treated must
visibly
c
ontract during a training impulse. The fact that the mu
scl
e tends to stiffen and increase
in volume will
be
visibl
e to the naked eye. Intensity should be increased gradua
lly (i
n the
f
irst c
ontraction) to enable you to identify the right level of stimulation comfort. Intensity
c
an be increased up to the personal tolerance threshold during the second training
c
ontraction; this operation is then repeated during each contraction until the wo
rkl
oad
reaches
the level of intensity recommended in the de
scripti
on of the single programs.
We recomm
end that you record the level of intensity reached in order to try to improve
the level of stimulation and consequently your performance.
6. Massage, winding down, active recovery impu
lse: intensity must be adjusted
gradua
lly
to massage the mu
scl
e treated. The level of intensity should be suff
ici
ent to
obtain a comfortable massage. Bear in mind that there is no need to endure high
i
ntensity levels in this case as it is meant to be a massage, meaning that intensity can be
increas
ed gradua
lly wi
thout excesses.
7. Capillarization impu
lse: increase the intensity gradua
lly
to produce constant,
visibl
e
stimulati
on of the area treated; a medium stimulation threshold is recommended, always
below the pain threshold.

ive concerning med
ical devices for th
e
following program
s.
WARNING!
It must be remembered that an electronic stimulator is a very effective analge
sic
instrum
ent and that pain can indicate various types of medical conditions!
T
he Tens1 to Tens20 programs de
scri
bed in this paragraph are analge
sic. Y
ou are
ad
vis
ed to read the manual carefu
lly
before using T-ONE
.
REMEMBER THAT PAIN IS A SIGN:
consult a doctor to identify the med
ical c
ondition before using T-ONE!
TENS, an acronym standing for “transcutaneous elect
rical
nerve stimulation”, is a therapeutic
technique mainly used for analge
sic
purposes to counter the effects (usua
lly
pain) of a wide
variety
of medical conditions. For this purpose it finds app
licati
on in treating everyday a
ilm
ents
troubling mankind: neck pain, arthro
sis, myalgi
a, neuritis, back pain, periarthritis, heaviness in
legs, muscle weakness, jus
t to mention a few.
O
n an acade
mic level, TENS can be d
ivi
ded into various categories according to the
mec
han
ism
used to reduce the pain. The main types are: conventional TENS (or
fast
analge
sic)
, electro acupuncture training TENS (or
delayed analge
sic), TENS at ma
ximum
values wi
th antidro
mic acti
on and consequently an
immedi
ate local anaesthetic effect.
T
he rehab
ili
tative action of TENS is repres
ented by its power to reduce pain thereby restoring
ph
ysiological c
onditions; more often than not this allows the patient to regain normal motor
function. Consider a patient suffering from
irri
tating periarthritis; they either resort to using
analge
sics
or learn to
live wi
th the pain that often makes even the
simplest movem
ents
impossibl
e. Immob
ility r
educes metabo
lic
act
ivity maki
ng it impo
ssibl
e to e
limi
nate algogenic
subs
tances. So a
vicious circl
e begins. In addition to relieving pain, TENS causes i
nduced
muscle stimulati
on increasing metabo
lic
act
ivity
and blood flow and improving t
iss
ue
oxygenation with an intake of nutritional substances. So the positive effect can be amplified by
combini
ng TENS wi
th mu
scle stimulati
on of the area concerned.
Position of electrodes and intensity levels.
T
he electrodes should be positioned to form a square surrounding the painful area using
C
hannel 1 and Channel 2 as shown in
illustrati
on 1. The intensity should be adjusted to a level
between the thresholds of perception and pain: the ma
ximum i
ntensity level is the moment in
whic
h the mu
scles surr
ounding the area treated begin to contract; over this
limit stimulati
on
does not become more effective, just more
irri
tating, so it is best to stop before that point.

Program also called conventional tens, used for analge
sic
purposes; its purpose is to induce
the organ
ism i
nto blo
cki
ng pain at the spine, in accordance with the “G
ate Control Theo
ry” by
Melzack
and Wall. Pain impulses leave part of the body (for example the hand) and run along
the nerve tracts (through sma
ll-diam
eter nerve fibres) until they reach the central nervous
system wher
e the impulses are interpreted as pain. Conventional tens activates large-diameter
nerve fibres, blo

taken against the

ivi
ded in 3 phases: warm up phase, work
phase, recovery phase. During warm up phase (phase1) the intensity of stimulation has to be
s

be setted separately: contraction intensity (shown by a full bar on the display) should be setted
at 20÷30mA
for out of train people, 30÷50mA
for trained people, over 50mA
for well trained
people.
We s
uggest to set recovery intensity value (between one contraction and another) around
15÷20% lower than contraction intensity value. During the last recovery phase, the intensity

This
program significantly increases arterial flow in the area treated. Prol
onged use of this
program develops the intramuscular cap

network of fast-twitch fibres. The effect obtained
is
an increase in the capacity of fast-twitch fibres to withstand strain over extended periods of
time.
For
an athlete with good re
sis
tance, the cap
illarizati
on program is very useful for recovery after
i
ntense aerobic work, before anaerobic work and when training is not po
ssible (
due to bad

intensity: medium. Position of
electrodes: see photos 01 to 20 in the manual of positions in
