Quick Start Guide Overview
This Quick Start Guide provides concise instructions for setting up and using the Empi Select TENS device, designed for alleviating general joint and spine pain, including specific areas such as the shoulder and upper back. The device by DJO Global is intended for both single and dual-channel use.
Electrode Placement Instructions
For shoulder pain, the recommendations are to place electrodes surrounding the painful site using a bracketed method, while for upper back pain, electrodes should be placed unilaterally on paraspinals at the proximal and distal pain limits. When using two channels, electrodes should be placed at paraspinals in a crossed pattern.
Device Operation Steps
- Connect lead wires to the electrodes and then the TENS device.
- Clean skin in the treatment area and dry thoroughly.
- Apply electrodes around the area of pain as instructed by your healthcare provider.
- Turn on the TENS device by pressing the ‘on/off’ button.
- Select the appropriate body-specific program.
- Adjust both channels, ch1 and ch2, to a strong yet comfortable level.
- Unlock the device by pressing the down arrow if necessary.
Treatment Regimen
For effective pain management, the device should be used for 30-60 minutes per treatment session, 3-4 times per day, or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Additional Settings
Settings such as ‘Quick Shoulder’ and ‘Quick Back’ are mentioned, along with adaptable modes such as Burst or SMP. However, users are reminded to refer to the full user manual for detailed instructions tailored to their personal medical needs and to ensure they are using the device correctly under the guidance of their physician.
Finally, the guide emphasizes that the electrode placement should serve as a general guide and the specific treatment plans should be determined by a physician, acknowledging that individual patient needs can vary.
