Construction of MAXTENS 1000 Analog TENS Unit

1. MAXTENS 1000 is a battery operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses to the body which reach the nerves causing pain.
2. The device is provided with two controllable output channels, each independent of each other. An electrode pair can be connected to each output channel
3. The electronics of the MAXTENS 1000 create electrical impulses whose intensity, duration, number per second and modulation my be altered with the controls or switches
4. Dial controls are very easy to use and the slide cover prevents accidental changes in the setting

When to use Bio Protech Dual Channel TensUnit?

MAXTENS 1000 is used for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain and adjunctive treatment of post-surgical or post-traumatic acute pain. This is a prescription device and should be used under continued medical supervision.

Bio Protech Dual Channel TensUnit Adjustment

1. Slide Cover: A slide-on panel cover covers the controls for Pulse Width. Pulse Rate. Mode Selector and Modulation Selector. Your medical professional may wish to set these controls for you and request that you leave the cover in place.
2. Display LED: Each of the LEDs illuminates whenever the electronics of the device create a current impulse. Due to the capacity of the human eye, the illumination of the lamp can only be recognized up to a frequency of approximately 30 Hz. At higher frequencies, the lamp will appear to be constantly illuminated.
3. On/Off Switch and Intensity Control: If both controls are in the off-position the device is switched off.

 

4. Lead Connector: Connection of the electrodes is made with two-lead connector. The device must be switched off before connecting the cables. Both intensity controls must be at the off position. Electrodes must be pressed firmly on the skin.

 

5. Mode Control: Expose the controls by sliding front cover down from top of unit. This switch has 3 position: B for Burst stimulation. N for Constant stimulation. and M for modulation stimulation. Push the Mode Selector until engaged in position desired.

 

6. Pulse Rate Control: This dial determines how many electrical impulses are applied through the skin each second. By turning these controls, the number of current impulses per second(Hz) for both channels can be continually adjusted. Unless otherwise instructed. turn the pulse rate control to the 2-150 Hz range.

 

Maintenance, Transport, and Storage of MAXTENS 1000

• Non-flammable cleaning solution is suitable for cleaning the device. Note: Do not smoke or work with open lights (for example. candles. etc.) when working with flammable liquids.
• Stains and spots can be removed with a cleaning agent.
• Do not submerge the device in liquids or expose it to large amounts of water.
• Return the device to the carrying box with sponge foam to ensure that the unit is well-protected before transportation.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period of time. remove the batteries from the battery compartment (acid may leak from used batteries and damage the device). Put the device and accessories in carrying box and keep it in cool dry place.

Precautions:

• TENS is not effective for pain of central origin (This includes headache)
• TENS devices have no curative value
• Keep the device out of reach of children
• Long-term stimulation at the same electrode site may cause skin irritation
• Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the management of pain patients
• Simultaneous connection of a patient to a HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT may result in burns at the site of the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the stimulator
• Operation in close proximity (e.g. 1m) to a shortwave or microwave therapy equipment may produce instability in the stimulator output
• Remove batteries if unit is not used for a long period of time
• Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin

Contraindications:

• If you have a demand—type cardiac pacemaker. do not use a TENS unit
• Do not use TENS on the carotid sinus (neck) region
• Do not use TENS for patients with known myocardial disease or arrhythmias without consultation and evaluation by a physician
• Do not apply TENS for undiagnosed pain syndromes until etiology is established
• Do not place electrodes on the site that may cause current to flow transcerebrally (through the head)
