TENS 1 • Conventional TENS
Program used for analgesic purposes; its purpose is to induce the organism into blocking pain at the
spine, in accordance with the “Gate Control Theory” by Melzack and Wall. Pain impulses leave part
of the body (for example the hand) and run along the nerve tracts (through small-diameter nerve
fibres) until they reach the central nervous system where the impulses are interpreted as pain.
Conventional tens activates large-diameter nerve fibres, blocking the path of small-diameter nerve
fibres at the spine. So action is mainly taken against the symptom: to simplify it further, the wire
transmitting pain information is obstructed.
Treatment duration should be no less than 30/40 minutes. Conventional tens is a current that can be
used to treat general everyday pain. The average number required to benefit from the treatment is
10/12 per day (there are no contraindications for up to double this amount).
The program has a duration of 40 minutes in a single phase. The program can be repeated at the end
of the session for particularly persistent pain. The nature of the impulse means that the patient may
experience an “addictive” effect due to which the impulse will be felt less and less: if necessary the
intensity can be increased by one level to counter this effect.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the painful area as shown in illustration 1.
TENS 2 • Endorphinic TENS
This type of stimulation produces two types of effects according to how the electrodes are positioned:
positioning the electrodes in the dorsal region, see photo 08 in the positions manual, promotes the
endogenous production of morphine-like substances capable of raising the pain perception threshold;
positioning the electrodes to form a square above the painful area as shown in illustration 1 produces
a vascularizing effect. Vascularization increases arterial flow and consequently aids the removal of
algogenic substances and helps to restore normal physiological conditions.
Treatment duration 30 minutes in a single phase, daily frequency.
Do not position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Intensity adjusted for good solicitation of the part stimulated, the sensation must be similar to that of
a massage.
TENS 3 • TENS at maximum values
Very short duration, 3 minutes. Blocks pain impulses peripherally creating a proper anaesthetising
effect in the area treated. This type of stimulation is suitable for injuries or bruises when rapid action is
required. The intensity selected is the maximum tolerable value (well in excess of conventional tens,
and therefore with considerable contraction of the muscles surrounding the area treated). That is the
reason why such stimulation is undoubtedly the least tolerated but is extremely effective. This type of

IACER S.r.l. 14 of 36 MNPG148 Rev. 02 02/07/15
stimulation is not recommended for particularly sensitive people and in any case the electrodes should
not be positioned in sensitive areas such as the face and genitals or close to wounds.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the painful area as shown in illustration 1.
TENS 4 • Anti-inflammatory
Program recommended for inflammatory conditions. To be applied until the inflammatory state is
lessened (10-15 applications, once a day; the daily treatments can be doubled if required). Identify the
area to be treated and position the electrodes as shown in illustration 1. Adjust the intensity until a
tingling feeling is produced in the area treated; avoid contracting the surrounding muscles.
Program duration: 30 minutes.
TENS 5 • Neck pain / Headache
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area.
The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain: the
maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the area treated begin to
contract; over this limit stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best
to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen after 10 to 12 treatments carried out on a daily
basis; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass. Position of electrodes: photo 25.
Warning: the device varies stimulation parameters during the program. The current may feel different:
this is perfectly normal and is envisaged by the software: raise or lower the intensity according to your
own sensitivity to reach a level of stimulation that is comfortable for you.
TENS 6 • Backache/Sciatic pain
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the lumbar area or along the sciatic nerve, or both. The
intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum
intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the area treated begin to contract; over
this limit stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best to stop before
that point. The first benefits can be seen after 15 to 20 treatments carried out on a daily basis; proceed
with the treatment until the symptoms pass. Program duration: 40 minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photo 27 and 28 in the manual of positions.
TENS 7 • Sprains / Bruises
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting pain locally, producing
three selectively acting, differentiated impulses. The intensity should be adjusted to a level between
the thresholds of perception and pain:
Number of treatments: until pain is lessened, on a daily basis (even 2/3 times a day).
TENS 8 • Vascularization
Has a vascularizing effect on the area treated. Vascularization increases arterial flow and consequently
aids the removal of algogenic substances and helps to restore normal physiological conditions. Do not
position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Daily application is recommended, the number of applications is not defined; the program can be
used to reduce pain.
Stimulation intensity should be between the thresholds of perception and slight discomfort.
Program duration: 20 minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photo 25 and 33 in the manual of positions.

IACER S.r.l. 15 of 36 MNPG148 Rev. 02 02/07/15
TENS 9 • Muscle relaxant
Program used to speed up the recovery of muscle function after intense training or strain from work;
the effect is immediate. Adjust the intensity for moderate muscle solicitation. Two treatments per day
for three or four days. Program duration: 30 minutes. Position of electrodes: from photo 1 to 28.
TENS 10 • Hand and wrist pain
This program is suitable for all types of hand and wrist pain: aching caused by strains, arthritis in the
hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Total program duration: 40 minutes. A combination of various
types of square-wave impulses has a general analgesic effect on the area to be treated (impulses at
different frequencies stimulate different sized nerve fibres promoting an inhibitory action at spinal
level). The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain,
without causing muscle contraction:
Position of electrodes: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in illustration 1.
TENS 11 • Plantar stimulation
This program has a relaxing and draining effect on the limb stimulated. It is ideal for people suffering
from a sense of “heaviness in the legs”.
Duration: 40 minutes. Intensity: just above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: 2 electrodes (one positive, the other negative) on the sole of the foot, one close
to the toes, the other under the heel.
TENS 12 • Epicondylitis
Also known as “tennis elbow”, it is an insertional tendinopathy concerning insertion of the elbow
bone into the epicondylar muscles, those enabling finger and wrist extension (bending backwards). 15
applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend that you consult your
doctor to identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Program duration 40 minutes, intensity adjusted above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: photo 29.
TENS 13 • Epitroclea
Also known as “golfing elbow”, it affects golfers but also those who carry out repetitive tasks or tasks
involving frequent intense strain (for example carrying a particularly heavy suitcase). It causes pain in
the flexor and pronator tendons inserted in the epitroclea. Pain is felt when bending or straightening
the wrist against resistance, or when clenching a hard rubber ball in the hand. 15 applications once a
day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend that you consult your doctor to identify
the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Program duration 40 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: photo 29 but with all of the electrodes positioned on the inside of the arm
(with a rotation of about 90°).
TENS 14 • Periarthritis
Scapulo-humeral periarthritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the fibrous tissues surrounding
joints: tendons, serous sacs and connective tissue. These appear altered and can break into fragments
and calcify. If neglected, this condition can become heavily crippling. For this reason, after carrying
out a cycle of 15/20 applications once a day, we recommend that you consult your doctor for a cycle
of specific rehabilitation exercises to reduce the pain.
The Tens17 program consists of various phases including Tens and muscle stimulation aimed at
improving the tone of the muscles surrounding the joint.

IACER S.r.l. 16 of 36 MNPG148 Rev. 02 02/07/15
Program duration 41 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception with small muscle
contractions at the end of the program (10 minutes before the end).
ARTHROSIS
Arthrosis is a chronic-degenerative medical condition, appearing insidiously, developing over time and
causing progressive degeneration of the joints (a joint is formed of two or more joint "heads",
cartilage, ligaments, a synovial membrane, a joint capsule, tendons and muscles), limiting joint motility
increasingly over time. Arthrosis mainly causes progressive deterioration of cartilage (which is not
capable of re-forming) and bone, with secondary deformation of the same, and production of
excrescences, called "osteophytes", which mechanically obstruct joint movement; it also causes the
joint capsule to thicken and stiffen, which together with contraction of the muscles surrounding the
joint limits the "joint excursion" even further.
Tens therapy can lessen the pain caused by this condition, but cannot cure it!
Tens (Tens 1) can be combined with stimulation of the area to be treated using a low-frequency
current (Tens 2) to relax the surrounding muscles.

Important: for all of these programs, stimulation intensity must be set between the threshold of
impulse perception and the moment in which the impulse starts to cause discomfort. With the
exception of the “periarthritis” program, the muscles surrounding the area to be treated must not
contract, they should only produce slight “vibrations”.

BEAUTY 1/2 • Firming up –upper limbs and trunk. Firming up –lower limbs.
Indicated for firming up muscles in the arms and bust (Beauty 1), or the legs (Beauty 2); working
mainly on slow-twitch fibres. Duration 29 minutes. Suitable for those who have never done any
physical activity or have been inactive for a long period of time. Method of use:
identify the muscle to be treated. To obtain good results it is best to treat just a few
muscles at a time and complete the process described below;
position the electrodes as shown in the photo;
increase the intensity until the impulse can be felt (use a low intensity for the first session
to help you to understand how the machine works);

IACER S.r.l. 19 of 36 MNPG148 Rev. 02 02/07/15
during the program and over the next few days the intensity should be increased gradually
so that muscle contractions are not painful;
during contraction generated by the unit, contract the muscle voluntarily;
a cycle of 15/20 applications must be completed before the first results can be seen; one
application for each muscle every two days with a day of rest in between.
It is possible to work on pairs of muscles, for example thighs and abdominal muscles, treating one set
one day and the other the next day. Working on too many muscles at the same time is not
recommended.
BEAUTY 3/4 • Toning up –upper limbs and trunk. Toning up –lower limbs.
Indicated for toning up muscles in the arms and bust (Beauty 3), or the legs (Beauty 4); working
mainly on fast-twitch fibres. Duration 29 minutes. Suitable for people who already practice moderate
physical activity. Method of use:
identify the muscle to be treated. To obtain good results it is best to treat just a few
muscles at a time and complete the process described below;
position the electrodes as shown in the photo;
increase the intensity until the impulse can be felt (use a low intensity for the first session

BEAUTY 5/6 • Definition –upper limbs and trunk. Definition –lower limbs.
Indicated for defining muscles in the arms and bust (Beauty 5), or the legs (Beauty 6); working mainly
on explosive fibres. Duration 19 minutes. Suitable for people who already practice good physical
activity and wish to define their muscles in greater detail. Method of use:
identify the muscle to be treated. To obtain good results it is best to treat just a few
muscles at a time and complete the process described below;
position the electrodes as shown in the photo;

BEAUTY 7 • Modelling.
Due to a combination of capillarizing and toning impulses, this program helps mobilise fat in areas
where it tends to accumulate. The electrodes should be positioned to form a square around the area to
be treated and can be applied daily using a medium intensity.
Program duration: 14 minutes. Recommended stimulation intensity: medium.
Position of electrodes: see photos 01 to 20 and photo 22 and 23 in the manual of positions.
BEAUTY 8 • Microlifting.
The following program, with a duration of 14 minutes, is used to tone facial muscles using a special
impulse to improve both the appearance and the dynamism of facial muscles.
The position of the electrodes is shown in the manual of electrode positions (photo 24).
N.B. a minimum distance of 3 cm. must be kept between the electrode and the eyeball.
IMPORTANT: take care when adjusting the intensity as facial muscles are particularly sensitive;
intensity should be increased gradually, starting with a very low level of stimulation (just above
perception) and increasing with care until you reach a good level of stimulation, represented by good
muscle activation.
IMPORTANT: it is not necessary to reach levels of intensity capable of causing discomfort! The
equation “more pain = more gain” is completely misleading and counterproductive.
Great and significant results are obtained through consistency and patience.
BEAUTY 9/10/11/12 • Lipolysis - abdomen (9), thighs (10), glutei and hips (11), arms (12).
These specific drainage programs increase microcirculation within and around the muscle fibres
treated and create rhythmic contractions, facilitating the discharge of algogenic substances and
promoting lymphatic activity. It can also be applied to older people to improve blood and
lymphatic circulation.
The program produces sequential tonic contractions, reproducing the typical effect of electronic
lymphatic drainage.
There are no real limits of application for these programs, which can be practiced until the desired
result has been achieved.
Stimulation intensity must be sufficient to produce good muscle contractions during the treatment but
not enough to cause any soreness. Duration 29 minutes.
The first results can usually be seen after 3/4 weeks practicing 4/5 sessions a week.
Beauty 9: lipolysis - abdomen (photo 20).
Beauty 10: lipolysis - thighs (photo 21).
Beauty 11: lipolysis - glutei (photo 19) and hips (photo 23, Ch1 on one hip and Ch2 on the
other).
Beauty 12: lipolysis - arms (photo 15 and 16, Ch1 on one arm and Ch2 on the other).
BEAUTY 13 • Tissue elasticity
Program lasting 19 minutes that stimulates surface muscle fibres. The frequencies used facilitate the
removal of substances accumulated on the surface and improve the dynamic appearance of the skin.
Intensity should be set to produce “surface vibrations”.
Position the electrodes to form a square around the area to be treated.
BEAUTY 14 • Capillarization
The capillarization program significantly increases arterial flow in the area treated. The capillarization
program is very useful for recovering after intense aerobic work (toning up training) and improves
