General Information
The wireless Pain Remedy TENS from Core Products is a single-channel transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulator (TENS) for over-the-counter use of pain relief - no prescription is required. The device generates
small pulses of electrical current and delivers the pulses to the user’s skin through adhesive gel electrode
pads such that the underlying nerves are activated and the pain associated with sore and aching muscles
is relieved. The Pain Remedy TENS is portable, compact, and stylish in design. It may help relieve pain in
various areas of body, such as the lower back, shoulders, arms and legs.
Because the Pain Remedy System is wireless - needing no lead wires - you must use only Pain Remedy
SNAP Electrodes. Lead wire type electrodes will not work with this wireless system.
Intended Use
To be used for relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, arm, and
leg due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.

Precautions
1. TENS is not eective for pain of central origin, including headache.
2. TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
3. TENS devices have no curative value.
4. TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise
serve as a protective mechanism.
5. Eectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner qualified in the management
of pain patients.
6. The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
7. You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical
conductive medium (gel).
8. Use this device only with electrodes and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
9. The Pain Remedy is not intended for the application of any medical condition or disease nor is it
intended for physiotherapy or muscle rehabilitation. It is contraindicated for use on any muscle that is
injured or diseased.

Rechargeable Batteries
Prior to the use of a new unit, the rechargeable battery in the
CONTROL unit may need to be charged.
After being stored for 60 days or more, the batteries may lose
their charge. After long periods of storage, batteries should be
charged prior to use.
Charging the Batteries
1. Connect the AC Adapter to any wall outlet or use a computer with
USB Port (computer must be powered on).
2. Connect the larger end of the USB Cable into the AC Adapter or USB
Port on the computer (must be powered on).
3. Connect the small end of the USB Cable into the CONTROL unit.
CONTROL Unit is fully charged when indicator light is green.
It will take about 1.5 hours to fully charge the batteries. A fully charged
battery will last approximately 12 hours at an intensity level of 10 - this is 50%
of the maximum intensity level of 20.

Quick Start Guide for Simple Use
1. Before using the Pain Remedy TENS charge the
CONTROL unit.
2. Snap the ELECTRODE pad into the round CONTROL unit.

Application of Reusable Self Adhesive Electrodes
Application
1. Clean the skin area with soap and water; dry the skin area thoroughly prior to application of electrodes.
2. With electrode snapped into the CONTROL unit, remove plastic film on the ELECTRODE and securely
place on the skin, over the pain area.
3. Save the plastic film to protect adhesive during storage.
Care and Storage
1. Between uses, store the electrodes with plastic film attached, in a sealed bag.
2. Store in a cool, dry place.
3. It may be helpful to improve adhesion of electrode over repeated applications by spreading a few
drops of cold water over the adhesive; allow to air dry on a flat surface with adhesive side up.

NOTES:
1. Do not apply to broken skin.
2. The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
3. The electrodes are intended for single users only.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.

Electrodes
The placement of the electrodes is key to achieving success with TENS Therapy. In a single channel
application, place the CONTROL unit directly over the area of pain in such a way as to direct the flow of
current across the area of pain.
Adverse Reactions
You may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes applied to your skin. You
may experience headache and other painful sensations during or following the application of electrical
stimulation near your eyes and to your head and face. If you experience adverse reactions, stop using the
device and consult with your physician.

Warnings
1. Consult with your physician before using this device.
2. If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your physician before using
this device.
3. If your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for more than five days, stop
using the device and consult with your physician.
4. Do not apply stimulation over your throat. This could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure
of your airway, diculty in breathing, or adverse eects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
5. Do not apply stimulation across your chest. The introduction of electrical current into the chest may
cause rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.
6. Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas
or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).
7. Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
8. Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors,
ECG alarms), which may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.
9. Do not apply stimulation when in the bath or shower or around any other water source.
10. Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
Tips For Skin Care
To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow these suggestions:
1. Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the electrodes, using mild soap and water before
applying electrodes, and after taking them o. Be sure to rinse soap o thoroughly and dry skin well.
2. Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; do not shave stimulation area.
3. Wipe the area with the skin preparation your clinician has recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes
as directed.
4. Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.
5. When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the direction of hair growth.
6. Do not stretch the electrodes when placing them on the skin, “pulling stress” from excessively
stretched electrodes can cause skin problems. To prevent this, apply electrodes from the center
outward.
7. It may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area when not wearing electrodes.
