IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
PLEASE READ FIRST
Differential Temperature: All Nervo-Scopes®
- including the Pro-X – are used to compare,
detect and display differential skin temperatures
along a glide path. Each of the two probes
detect a temperature and the difference is
displayed. Please remember this unit is still a
differential temperature device meaning it
WILL NOT ALWAYS SIT AT ZERO – any air current
or heat from body etc. will cause the needle
to move in either direction and therefore it
will cause the unit to appear “not centered or
calibrated.” This is not accurate – again, it’s
differential temperature. All Nervo-Scope®
units are triple checked and calibrated prior to
leaving our facility.
Note: EDL cannot train anyone on how to use or
interpret scope reading.
Note: All Nervo-Scope® sales are nal and
returns are not accepted. EDL manufactures the
Nervo-Scope®however we are not able to
provide instructions on how to use the scope as
we are not trained Doctors of Chiropractic.

Introduction
Again we must congratulate you for purchasing one of the nest and most
reliable dual probe thermal detection instruments used for Chiropractic
diagnostics ever manufactured. Our Nervo-Scope® line of products is
trusted by Chiropractic professionals around the world – and has been the
preferred tool for accurately adjusting patients for the most prestigious
doctors for decades. All of our instruments were engineered to deliver a
lifetime of accurate and dependable operation. In general, you should
treat these instruments with the same care and concern you would any
high quality medical product. They are designed to be ergonomic and
completely portable – we know they are used with each and every patient
and you need to trust it will work wherever and whenever you require it. All
Nervo-Scopes® - including the Pro-X – are used to compare, detect and
display differential skin temperatures along a glide path. Nervo-Scope®
instruments have earned the trust and respect of chiropractors worldwide
and we thank you for your never ending trust and loyalty to our brand.
The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X is used comfortably for both pre and post
adjustment assessment. The newest iteration of the longtime trusted scope
was developed to provide accurate readings in a package that is next
generation. As with the ETS-9 and ETS-9A models, the Pro-X is resistant to
interference from cell phones, iPads and tablets, laptops, even uorescent
lights. The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X was developed to reject the inuence of
these sources and consistently give precise and repeatable readings each
and every time the instrument is used. All Nervo-Scopes® are hand-made
by skilled craftsmen in our Virginia facility. In addition to manufacturing new
scopes, we are committed to providing ongoing service on every scope
we ever produced. At EDL – there is a time honored tradition of building a
quality product that may be passed down from generation to generation,
of listening to the Chiropractic community, and developing products based
on your needs – what you require to help your patient. For more information

Thermal Detector Arms & The Maximum
Flexibility for Adjustments
The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X offers fully adjustable legs & heads to
accommodate patients of all shapes, sizes, & ages. This scope may also
be used for equine and animal adjustments as the detector heads are
the most adjustable and exible ever – allowing you to scope patients of
virtually any size or shape.
This scope still features he long time favored Super Glide Rings offering
the smoothest glide possible - with maximum comfort. Now included as a
standard feature are our much-loved contour ex tips which were designed
to smoothly hug the spine offering unmatched adjustability of heads ideal
for every type, size, and style of patient.
The black plastic thumb knob on the front of the meter between the arms, is
used to lock the detector arms in place. When adjustment is required simply
loosen the black plastic thumb knob. The arms should move smoothly and
easily. Carefully compress or expand the detector arms to the desired width
and lock them in place by gently tightening the black plastic thumb knob.
Do not overtighten.
Note: You must move both detector arms in unison. If you move only one
side, you may damage the internal spring and block assembly. Be careful
and do not over-tighten the black plastic knob, but ensure the knob is tight
enough so the detector arms will not move while in use.

Operation
Simply press the ON/OFF button to turn on your Pro-X. Once the scope is
powered on, gently place the two detector arms against the skin. Apply the
arms simultaneously and with even pressure to start and maintain your
glide at a constant {slow} rate. It is important to maintain the pressure evenly
with the detector arms at a right angle in relation to the skin surface. It is
suggested to use approximately 0.5 to 1 kg (1 to 2 lbs.) of pressure against the
skin with modications made as needed. Under no circumstance should the
glide cause any discomfort to the patient. With the new thermocouple tip
design, we have virtually eliminated the possibility of scratching a patient.
It is not uncommon for drafts or radiated heat to cause the instrument
indicator needle to appear to be off of the “0” (zero). Please remember this
is a differential temperature diagnostic tool. It is recommended that you
rst reset your Pro-X (see instructions below), and if the problem persists
call one of our experienced technicians at 1.800.342.5335 if you feel your
instrument is in need of adjustment. You may download a Support Request
Form at www.edl-inc.com/chiro-support-request/
To turn the unit on hold the ON/OFF button for a minimum of 6 seconds (unit
will NOT turn on until you have released the button). This is also the “Hard
Reset” so if for ANY reason the software is NOT performing the way it should
you will hold the ON/OFF button for a minimum of 6 seconds and release the
button and you will see the main “EDL Splash Screens” (see below).
The ON/OFF button turns the screen on and off when pushed once. A blue
light will appear in the top right corner telling you the scope is in sleep mode.
Either touch the screen or push the ON/OFF button once to resume use. If
the scope remains unused for one hour the screen will turn off automatically
(and can be used again with just one push of the ON/OFF button or touching

the screen) after three hours of no operation, the unit will go into a deep
sleep power save mode. When this happens the blue light will turn off and to
resume use you must hold the ON/OFF button for a minimum of 6 seconds.
Remember the unit will not turn on until you release the button.
This unit has a capacitive touchscreen and functions similarly to almost any
smart touch device (phone or tablet). Simply swipe the screen to change
between the “analog display” or the “digital bar graph display”. Please
remember this unit is still a differential temperature device meaning it
WILL NOT ALWAYS SIT AT ZERO – any air current or heat from body etc. will
cause the needle to move in either direction and therefore it will cause the
unit to appear “not centered or calibrated.” This is not accurate – again,
it’s differential temperature. All Nervo-Scope®units are triple checked and
calibrated prior to leaving our facility.
Analog Display
This view is identical to our original display. The analog view will depict 0-25
on. The movement of the needle directly coincides with the thermocouples
in the unit and when one side senses a temperature greater than the other
side the needle moves to display this while in analog view.
While in analog view you will also see a quick representation with a colored
depiction that follows the needle as the number increases in either
direction.
Digital Display
In digital view you will see a large bar graph that will move either left or right,
based on the temperature detected by the thermocouples. Here you have
the option of getting a true body temperature readout (which reads in °C or
°F) which is extremely helpful when checking Fossa readings.
Using The Scope
Simply turn the unit on and perform your standard glides as you would with
any other Nervo-Scope®diagnostic tool. To change any of the settings - the
gear and wrench icon on the top left of the screen is the settings button.
Click the icon and a drop-down menu will slide down full of the settings.

Thermocouple Tips
Unfortunately, thermocouple tips are
prone to user error and are the most
common repair. ALL EDL instruments
are built with utmost care and use only
the nest components in our products.
We guarantee every part of our scopes
EXCEPT the thermocouple tips because
it is up to you, the Doctor, to keep your
thermocouple tips clean & free of skin
debris, and properly stored. Tips do not
require maintenance if properly cared
for and cleaned. Please note the new
and advanced tips featured on the Pro-X
are based on the same basic science
& functionality, and are made with the
same precision thermocouple wire as all
of our previous model Nervo-Scopes. It’s
identical. But that is where the similarity
ends. The new and improved Contour
Flex Tips (based on the longtime favorite)
are made of a completely new design,
and one with great signicance. With our
new exclusive design we have virtually
eliminated the ability to have a broken
or sharp edge – as the tip is now one
single thermocouple with a smooth
rounded curved design. That means
with this design, you will never scratch
the patient. The smooth curved wire is
intended to smoothly glide along the
spine and you can easily see if your tip is
broken & makes cleaning much easier.
You are now only cleaning one wire – not
(8) crevices. There are virtually NO hard-
to-reach areas in this new design.
Other Settings
Light/Dark Mode: this will change to a dark background with lighter fonts/
graphics vs a brighter background with darker fonts/graphics. This is user
specic – the unit will default with “light mode settings” however with the
simple push of a button you can alter it to your liking.
Units: °F or °C – while in the digital view this will display actual body
temperature when needed.
Show Temp: You may choose to use the temperature display - this is user
specic. If you do not want to display the temperature you can simply turn
this feature off in the settings menu.
L/R View: While in the Digital View the display will show you an “L” or an
“R” in whichever direction the heat is sensed, giving you a quick and easy
reference.
Sensitivity
The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X features eight (8) Sensitivity Settings. These (8)
sensitivities may be changed by simply pressing the MODE BUTTON. Again,
to change sensitivities, simply press the MODE BUTTON OR in the settings
you may chose to slide the button {slider} to your desired sensitivity. This
advanced tool allows you to change sensitivities while doing a standard
glide. Note: If you are “Graphing” (discussed in the next section) your glide
you cannot change sensitivities - because during a “Graph Session” the
MODE BUTTON has a different function.
Note: the higher the number, the higher the sensitivity - the lower the
number, the lower sensitivity.
EDL cannot suggest the level you should set your sensitivity to - the Pro-X
defaults at sensitivity level (5) however each Chiropractor may tailor this to
their own level of comfort and patients specic needs. Please remember
our older model scopes are generally a lower sensitivity while our newer
model scopes are a higher sensitivity. We suggest you test and practice with
the settings until you nd the most comfortable setting for you. You will nd
the one that best ts your technique with just a little practice.

Graphing
This scope is equipped with a graph function allowing you to temporarily
store the glide you just performed giving you an opportunity (without the
Analgraph) to show your patient what you see. Show them both pre and
post adjustment. To use the Graph feature you may choose to be in ANALOG
VIEW, DIGITAL VIEW or in GRAPH VIEW (to get to the graph screen click the
bottom left button that says GRAPH. This is how you will see your graph after
you complete the glides. Simply hit the START BUTTON from any view and
perform your standard glide. Once you have nished your glide press the
STOP BUTTON (this is the same as the START BUTTON so make sure you only
hit it once as the unit only stores the graph temporarily on the non-analog
version). While performing a glide, if you notice a subluxation, you may press
the MODE BUTTON and instead of changing the sensitivity while you are
graphing this will place a “mark” on the graph thus allowing you to see that
break clearly. Once you have reviewed the graph (for yourself or with the
patient) you then perform another glide and if you choose to graph again
you simply hit the START BUTTON again. This will automatically clear the old
data and allow you to start a new glide.
Battery Information/ Charging
DO NOT use unit while it is charging. While the unit is charging the light will
show orange - when it is completely charged it will turn green. This unit will
hold a charge for roughly (12) hours, please know this number will uctuate
based on the usage of the instrument throughout the day. We recommend
charging it every night. The top right of the screen displays the battery
percentage left for use. We suggest to never let the scope get below 10% as
you don’t want to run out of charge during glide. The screen will begin to get
dim and could interfere with your ability to view your ndings. The scope is
supplied with a charging block and charging cord. To charge your device
slide the USB-C charging cord into the bottom charging port. Charging can
cause a slight increase in heat on the board therefore it is recommended
not to use your scope for approximately (10) minutes after removing the
charging cord from the unit.
Cleaning
For compliance with current OSHA, FDA 510 (K), and EPA regulations; these
instruments must be cleaned between each patient. EDL has tested many
cleaners and Certol has been our cleaner of choice for several years.
ProSpray™ Wipes are surface disinfectant/cleaner towelettes that have
been chosen as our recommended cleaner due to the ratings achieved.
To get the full germicidal benet, the tips must remain moist for 3 minutes.
Simply wipe the tip with a towelette, then use the included brush to gently
brush the detector tip 3 to 5 times. Repeat these instructions for the other
detector. Let the detector tips dry for 3 to 5 minutes.
To clean the instrument housing, use a ProSpray™ disinfectant towelette
as well. Do not apply directly on the instrument. Liquid may seep into the
instrument and adversely affect the circuitry.
Note: Other disinfectants on the market do not have the ratings of
ProSpray™ and the use of these other disinfectants, especially ones that
contain quats or iodophors, will damage your instrument and void your
warranty. To purchase ProSpray™ Wipes, visit our website at www.edl-inc.
com or call our 1.800.342.5335.
