How does it work?

The Omron Max Power Relief is a powerful TENS device that provides relief for chronic, acute and arthritic pain. Scientific theory suggests that TENS therapy may work in several ways:

1. 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.
2. Gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body’s natural painkillers, such as endorphins.
3. Blood circulation improves as muscles contract and relax with the flow of the electrical stimulation.

How to use Omron TENS Therapy Pain Relief?

Step 1: Pad Placement:

• Lower Back: Attach one pad below and above the region in pain, both on same side.
• Leg (Hip & Thigh): Attach pads on each side of the area with pain.
• Arm: Attach pads on each side of the region where you feel pain.
• Joint (Elbow): Attach pads on each side of the joint with the pain.
• Joint (Knee): Attach both pads above the knee or above and below the joint with pain.
• Leg (Calf): Attach both pads on the calf where you feel pain.
• Foot (Ankle): Attach pads on the left for pain on the outside of your ankle/foot. Attach the pads on the right for pain on the inside of your ankle/foot.

Warning:

• Do not apply the pads on both sides of the chest cavity simultaneously (lateral or front and back), or across your chest because the introduction of electrical current may cause rhythm disturbances which could be lethal.
• Do not apply the pads near the heart.

Step 2: Select 1 OF 9 Modes

• Push “ON/OFF”.
• Choose 1 of the 9 modes. Modes cannot be combined.
  • Choose a massage-like mode
    1. Tap
    2. Knead
    3. Rub
  • Or choose a pain mode:
    4. Arm
    5. Lower Back
    6. Leg
    7. Foot
    8. Joint (Knee/elbow/wrist)
    9. Shoulder

How to switch modes?
The unit automatically defaults to the last mode selected. Each time you push the mode button, it switches to the next mode at the lowest intensity. You can only use ONE MODE at a time.

How to select the right mode?
Any of the modes can be used on body parts or pains described in this manual or Quick Start Guide/Pad Placement Guide. Select the mode that feels right for your unique pain.

Step 3: Select The Correct Intensity Level (1 Low – 15 High)

Start at the lowest intensity level and slowly increase it by pushing the “▲(Up)” arrow button. You should feel a gentle pulsing sensation.

How do I pick the right intensity level for my pain?
Each time you push the “▲(Up)” or “▼(Down)” arrow, it moves to another level. If the stimulation sensation becomes weaker or disappears, increase the intensity until it is restored. But, if the sensation is at all uncomfortable, press the down arrow to decrease the intensity.

• Press ▲ for higher intensity.
• Press ▼ for lower intensity.

How long is the therapy?
The unit will continue automatically for 15 minutes before it shuts off. We recommend a total of two 15-minutes therapy in one sitting, up to three times/day. The screen shows you how many minutes are remaining.

How to clean and store?

Cleaning the pads

1. Turn the power off and remove the electrode cord from the pads.
2. Wash the pads when the adhesive surface becomes dirty and/or the pads are difficult to adhere.
   • Wash the pad softly with your fingertips under slow running cold water for several seconds (do not use a sponge/cloth/sharp object like a nail on adhesive side, do not use detergents, chemicals or soap).
3. Pads can be washed after 15 uses, approximately ten times for up to 150 uses. Do not wash the pads too long or too frequently.
4. Dry the non-sticky surface of the pads and let the adhesive surface air-dry completely. Do not wipe with a tissue paper or cloth.

When should you replace your pads?

Replace the pads when they no longer stick to your skin or if more than 25 % of the pad’s surface is not in contact with your skin.

Cleaning the unit

1. Turn unit off and disconnect the electrode cords from the pads.
2. Clean with a lightly moistened cloth (or a cloth soaked in a neutral cleaning solution) and wipe gently.
   • Do not use chemicals (like thinner, benzene).
   • Do not let water get into the internal area.

Precautions:

• If you have suspected or been diagnosed with heart disease, you should follow the precautions recommended by your physician.
• Apply pads to normal, healthy, dry, clean skin (of adult patients) Pads are intended for use by one person.
• Do not share pads with another person. This may cause skin irritation or infection.
• Do not use to treat one region for extended periods (more than 30 minutes a session, up to three times/day), or muscles in that region may become exhausted and sore.
