GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EMSElectrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (Electrical Myostimulation), is a 
battery-operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses to electrodes 
attached to the body to stimulate motor nerves and cause contraction and 
relaxation of  muscles. It has proven valuable as a method of  pain therapy 
and is of  great assistance to the experienced therapist.
With some indications, physicians / clinicians can prescribe EMS units to 
patients for their use at home.
This unit is a dual-channel digital stimulator for active treatment application, 
which has a Liquid Crystal Display indicating operation modes and output, as 
well as an 8-bit microcomputer for controlling the system.
The electronics of  the unit create electric impulses; the intensity, duration, 
frequency per second and modulation of  these impulses can be adjusted.
WHAT IS EMS?
An injured muscle usually experiences little if  any movement. EMS therapy 
remedies this by using low voltages to stimulate motor nerves to cause invol-
untary muscular contractions.
Like exercise, EMS helps strengthen the injured area, and has been found to 
effectively treat a variety of  musculoskeletal and vascular conditions. Com-
mon candidates for EMS therapy are patients recovering from orthopedic 
surgery, muscle strains or tears, or athletes who have undergone cartilage or 
tendon repair. EMS is non-invasive and does not use pharmaceuticals.
INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
Read the operation manual before using this EMS device.
Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of  a physi-
cian.
Observe your physician’s / clinician’s precise instructions and allow them to 
show you where to apply the electrodes. For a successful therapy, the correct 
application of  the electrodes is an important factor. Carefully write down the 
settings your physician / clinician recommends.
