1 i-pulz T.E.N.S. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Cycling was out of the question, but look at me now! George, 45 years

2 i-pulz Rehan Electronics is an innovative company involved in the design, development and production of medical electronic devices. Over the years we have built up a considerable reputation for providing quality products backed up by excellent customer service. Do you suffer from persistent or occasional pain? Would you like to achieve significant pain-reduction? Rehan Electronics has developed the i-pulz nerve stimulator (TENS) especially for you. It is quite simply the best device to relieve you of your pain. Nerve Stimulation (T.E.N.S.): pain relief The universal term for nerve stimulation is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. In short people simply use the term TENS. How does a nerve stimulator work? Through electrodes placed on the skin, the i-pulz sends electrical pulses through the skin to the nerves carrying the pain signals. This pulse causes these nerves to be distracted, not allowing them to do their job of transferring the pain signals to your brain. On the other hand, this technique makes the body produce substances called endorphins, these are produced naturally in the body and are nature s way of administering pain relief.

3 Pain is a personal experience. Everybody experiences pain in a different way. Using TENS however, does not cure the condition. It is a symptomatic treatment that instead suppresses the pain. Long term stimulation is not harmful to the body in any way. Rehan Electronics has for many years distributed TENS Devices throughout the Netherlands and thousands of users have benefited considerably by using them. The i-pulz represents the next generation of TENS devices and has been developed using the experiences and feedback of our many customers. Electrodes Tens therapy makes use of certain electrodes that need to be placed on the skin. Everybody has a different skin type; you may have never had any problems with your skin whatsoever, yet someone else may have very sensitive skin or experience a high level of transpiration. For this reason we have a wide range of different types of electrodes for you to choose from.

4 Advantages of TENS It is possible to achieve a significant percentage of pain relief without any side-effects. TENS does not have a numbing effect. It does not make you drowsy and does not have a risk of addiction (contrary to some strong pain-killers). TENS works locally on your body in the required areas, contrary to general medication. It is a small, portable and easy to use device. The patient can treat him or herself at any chosen time during the day. Indications of TENS TENS can be prescribed for acute and chronic pains, and pain-syndroms. The i-pulz nerve stimulator The i-pulz is a small, portable digital TENS device that can be worn invisibly underneath your clothing. Buttons The i-pulz is easy to use by pressing the buttons. When the buttons aren t used for several seconds, the automatic key lock will activate. This is to prevent any accidental changes in the settings of the device.

5 Settings The i-pulz is a two-channel nerve stimulator. Both channels work independently from one another and do not influence each other. This means that two different patterns of stimulation can be used at the same time. You can also use just one of the channels if this is preferred. The i-pulz will always start up with the last selected program. Even though the i-pulz is the smallest digital TENS device around, its possibilities are endless. Controls When you flip open the i-pulz stimulator, the buttons and display will become visible. You can set up all programs and settings using the buttons. The display clearly highlights the programs and settings of the i-pulz.

6 Program duration It is possible to set up the duration of the program in use. During your trial period you and your doctor or specialist have to set up the i-pulz to your needs and determine the proper duration of the program to be used. After the intensity is set up and the keypad lock is active, the timer will count down to 0 minutes. Attachment clip On the rear side of the TENS device you can find an attachment clip. This clip is easily used to attach the i-pulz to your trousers, skirt or belt. Who uses the i-pulz? People with acute pain, chronic pain or pain-syndromes. The i-pulz itself can be used in conditions like: Neurological pain like neuralgia, blunt pain and phantom pain. Muscle- and joint pain like rheumatic pain, lower-back pain, neck- and shoulder pain, etc. Post surgery and post traumatic pain. Angina Pectoris. Facial pain. Circulation disorders. Delivery pain. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS type I and II. Scar tissue pain. Specific bone fractures.
