HOW TENS WORKS FOR PAIN RELIEF
The Wireless 3-in-1 Pain Relief Device
is a single
output channel TENS machine and highly
effective in temporarily relieving pain. TENS therapy
is now regularly recommended by doctors,
physiotherapists and pharmacists throughout
the world.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
is a noninvasive, drug free method of controlling
pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through
the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception.
TENS does not cure any physiological problem;
it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work
for everyone; however, in most patients it is effective
in temporarily reducing or eliminating the pain,
allowing for a return to normal activity.
Scientific theory suggests that electrical stimulation
therapy may work in several ways:
■ The gentle electrical pulses move through the
skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the
pain message from ever reaching the brain from
the source of the pain.
■ The gentle electrical pulses increase the
production of the body’s natural pain killer, such
as endorphins.
What is it? How TENS works?
13
HOW EMS WORKS FOR MUSCLE STIMULATION
EMS works by sending electronic pulses to the
muscle needing treatment; this causes the muscle
to exercise passively. It is a product derived from
the square waveform (ladder‐shaped). Through
the square wave pattern it is able to work directly
on muscle motor neurons. This device has low
frequency and this in conjunction with the square
wave pattern allows direct work on muscle groupings.
The goal of electrical muscle stimulation is to
achieve contractions or vibrations in the muscles.
Normal muscular activity is controlled by the central
and peripheral nervous systems, which transmit
electrical signals to the muscles. EMS works similarly
but uses an external source (the stimulator) with
electrodes attached to the skin for transmitting
electrical impulses into the body. The impulses
stimulate the nerves to send signals to a specifically
targeted muscle, which reacts by contracting,
just as it does with normal muscular activity.
How MASSAGE works?
The massage stimulation program is a type of low
level EMS used to loosen tight muscles. Its main
function is to mimic manual massage to promote
relaxation and reduce muscle tension.
The EMS units send comfortable impulses through
the skin that stimulate the nerves in the treatment
area. When the muscle receives this signal it
contracts as if the brain has sent the signal itself.
As the signal strength increases, the muscle flexes
as in physical exercise. Then when the pulse ceases,
the muscle relaxes and the cycle is repeated.

The LT5018C device uses the one-on-one
connection of BLE4.0, and our device as
a peripheral, responds to the APP’s connection
request passively, establishing a one-on-one
connection with the APP. After the LT5018C
device connects to the APP, the device will not be
connected to other wireless devices or controlled.
After the APP connects to the peripheral device,
the APP will send the command, and when the
LT5018C device ensures this command is right,
it will open the control command, then you can
control the LT5018C device. Otherwise, the APP
can’t control the LT5018C device.
When should the device be used?
HOW TO CONTROL AND REDUCE YOUR PAIN
30
Use as soon as your pain begins. Start with one
session (unit automatically turns off at 30 minutes).
If you get to your pain early, it may prevent the pain
from becoming worse, or even chronic. It’s better
for you to get it under control sooner so that it does
not reach a high pain threshold where it limits your
daily activities.
How long should you use the device?
Start with one 30 minute session. Always turn unit
off with pads still on. Rate your pain to check your
progress, 1 low to 60 high. Intensity is based upon
your level of comfort. Begin therst session with a
low intensity and a short duration while learning
how to operate.
Stop therapy session if pain has reduced or stopped.
If your pain does not improve and you become sore
from over-use, refrain from treating those areas for
2 days. If this issue reoccurs, reduce the treatment
time and intensity settings for future treatment.
Setting the intensity
Intensity is based upon your level of comfort. Begin
the rst session with a low intensity and a short
duration while learning how to operate. You should
therefore take care to work with maximum intensities,
i.e., always at the limit of what you can support.
Do not exceed your comfort level.
31
Recommended treatment session as following:
When to stop using the device?
■ If you experienced an adverse reaction (skin
irritation/redness/burns, headache or other
painful sensation, or if you feel any unusual
discomfort).
■ If your pain does not improve, becomes
seriously chronic and severe, or continues for
more than ve days.
NOTE:
If you feel pain, dizziness, discomfort or nausea,
discontinue use of device and call your physician
or medical practitioner.
What type of pain is it best for?
This therapy works best on acute pain because
it is localized. Acute pain is pain in one area for
less than 3 months. If you have chronic pain,
you may have pain in more than one area and for
longer than 6 months. Chronic pain may be
compounded by other issues that this device
cannot address.
Remember this device does not cure your pain or
the original cause of the pain. It provides temporary
relief or reduction of pain so that you can control
your life and activities better.
CAUTION:
You may use the device for 30 minutes a day.
You may need to use it for longer (maximum 3
times per day and maximum 90 minutes in total)
depending on the level of your pain.
