EMS 2000 Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulator
Kit Contents:Indications For Use:
BioMedical Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulator using bi-phasic output is indicated as therapeutic adjunct for prevention or retardation of muscle spasm; muscle reeducation; maintaining and increasing the range of motion; increasing local blood circulation and as an immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
Contraindications:- Use of electrical stimulation may be hazardous for patients with certain demand-type cardiac pacemakers
- EMS devices should not be applied to malignant tumors

Precautions:Precautions should be exercised when stimulation is used:
- After a recent surgical procedure where muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process
- After acute trauma or a fracture where there is a tendency to hemorrhage
- Over the menstruating uterus
- Where sensory nerve damage has caused the loss of normal skin sensation
Warnings:
- Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus
- Severe spasm of the laryngeal and/or pharyngeal muscles may occur when electrodes are placed over the neck or mouth
- Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally
- Adequate precaution should be taken with patients with suspected heart problems or epilepsy
- Caution should be exercised in the transthoracic application of EMS devices so that the introduction of electrical current into the heart does not cause arrhythmias
- EMS devices should be kept out of the reach of children
- Safety of electrical stimulation for use during pregnancy has not been established
- Long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown
- EMS devices should only be used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy in the treatment of medical diseases and conditions
- Persistent use of stimulation in the presence of skin irritation may be injurious
- Simultaneous connection to RF surgery equipment can cause a burn
- Operation near (e.g. 1m) short wave or micro wave therapy equipment can change the output values of the stimulator
Adverse Effects:Improper use of stimulation may result in skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes.

| cam I use ultrasound gel or lotion when applying the pads? Edgar Pena - 8/19/2016 2:13:36 PM | | |
 | Thank you for contacting customer care service. Manufacture do not recommend using ultrasound gel or lotion when applying the pads.
They are self-adhering and already conductive. Customer Care - 8/25/2016 12:15:40 AM |

| Is there a limit on the size of electrode pads that would work ideally with this unit? For example, if I were to use larger pads on the Quads. Alan - 7/20/2015 9:09:07 PM | | |
| There is no limit to the size pads. With that said, the larger the pad the less sensation is felt.
The 2x2 electrodes that come with the EMS 2000 are sufficient for soliciting a muscle contraction in the Quads. Place the pads on trigger points and you’ll be fine. Customer Service - 7/24/2015 2:47:44 AM |

| Are additional lead wires needed to connect the disposable electrodes to the pigtail electrodes? Richard Quint - 4/22/2015 5:14:26 PM | | |
| Thank you for reaching out to us. In order to connect pigtailed electrodes to the EMS 2000, lead wires must be utilized. A pair of lead wires are included with every EMS 2000 package. Customer Care - 4/25/2015 1:53:22 AM |

| Are there any precautions to be taken? Sally - 8/16/2014 7:18:13 AM | | |
| Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally. Adequate precaution should be taken with patients with suspected heart problems or epilepsy. Caution should be exercised in the transthoracic application of EMS devices so that the introduction of electrical current into the heart does not cause arrhythmias.
The safety of electrical stimulation for use during pregnancy has not been established. The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown. EMS devices should be kept out of the reach of children. Persistent use of stimulation in the presence of skin irritation may be injurious.
Simultaneous connection to RF surgery equipment can cause a burn. Operation near (e.g. 1m) short wave or micro wave therapy equipment can change the output values of the stimulator. PRECAUTIONS should be exercised when stimulation is used: - After a recent surgical procedure where muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process.
- After acute trauma or a fracture where there is a tendency to hemorrhage.
- Over the menstruating uterus.
- Where sensory nerve damage has caused the loss of normal skin sensation.
Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to electrical stimulation. This irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternate electrode site or alternate conductive medium.

| When should I avoid using it? Renee - 8/11/2014 12:24:08 AM | | |
| - Use of electrical stimulation may be hazardous for patients with certain demand-type cardiac pacemakers.
- EMS devices should not be applied to malignant tumors.
- Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and/or pharyngeal muscles may occur when electrodes are placed over the neck or mouth. (These contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.)

| What is NeuroMuscular Stimulation? Nancy - 7/30/2014 12:23:53 AM | | |
| NeuroMuscular Stimulation is a type of electro-stimulation unit used for the prevention or retardation of muscle spasm; muscle reeducation; maintaining and increasing the range of motion; increasing local blood circulation or as an immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
The NeuroMuscular Stimulator is a form of electro-stimulation that concerns both nerves and muscles. Therefore the stimulators in this electro-stimulation category are used to stimulate the underlying nerves to elicit a muscle contraction. Customer Care - 7/31/2014 11:45:01 PM |
