1. Security instruction The VITAtronic Digital EMS/TNS is a digital and modern therapeutical transcutanes nerve stimulator, delivering electrical pulses by electrodes at and through the skin. Basis for this are in the meantime recognized procedures, with which it comes to the stimulation of certain nerve and muscle portions and which as so-called pain therapy and therapeutic muscle stimulation admits are.
2. General instruction TENS (Transkutane Electrical Nerve Stimulation) The transcutane electrical nerve stimulation is a very effective and safe treatment of pain. The effect of the therapy was examined in large clinical studies and for more than 20 years in many countries worked satisfactorily. Even when illnesses with pain existing for a long time it can often still be obtained another good pain elimination.
