HOW TENS WORKS
There is nothing “magic” about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation (TENS). TENS is intended to be used to relieve pain.
The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that
stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cas-
es, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensa-
tion the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patient, mode
selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients, the
reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of
stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In
others, pain is only modied while stimulation actually occurs. You
may discuss this with your physician or therapist.
EXPLANATION OF EMS
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an accepted and proven way of
treating muscular injuries. It works by sending electronic pulses to
the muscle needing treatment; this causes the muscle to contract.
It is derived from the square waveform, originally invented by John
Faraday in 1831. It works by directly stimulating motor neurons
which causes muscle contraction. It is widely used in hospitals and
sports clinics for the treatment of muscular injuries and for the re-
education of paralyzed muscles, to prevent atrophy in affected mus-
cles and improve muscle tone and blood circulation.
HOW EMS WORKS
1. Relaxation of muscle spasms
2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
3. Increasing local blood circulation
4. Muscle re-education
5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent
venous thrombosis
6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion
The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that
stimulate the nerves in the treatment area. When the muscle re-
ceives this signal it contracts. As the signal strength increases,
the muscle contracts as in physical exercise. Then when the pulse
ceases, the muscle relaxes and the cycle starts over again, (Stimu-
lation, Contraction and Relaxation.) Powered muscle stimulators
Chapter 1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Premier Combo Plus TENS/EMS is a fully digital battery oper-
ated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses to the nerves
and underlying muscle groups. This unit is a combination stimulator
of TENS and EMS which can be used for pain relief and muscle
stimulation. The device is provided with two controllable output
channels, each independent of the other. A pair of electrodes can
be connected to each output channel. The intensity level and set-
tings are controlled by press buttons
Chapter 2 : INTRODUCTION
EXPLANATION OF PAIN
Pain is a warning system and the body’s method of telling us that
something is wrong. Pain is important; without it abnormal condi-
tions may go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of
our bodies.
Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or mal-
function in the body, nature may have gone too far in its design.
Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves
no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until coded messages
travel to the brain where they are decoded, analyzed, and reacted
to. The pain message travels from the injured area along the small
nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message is switched to
different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. The pain
message is interpreted and pain is perceived.
EXPLANATION OF TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, 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 pa-
tients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a
return to normal activity.

9. Turn the TENS off before applying or removing electrodes.
10. Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode
placement following long term application. If this occurs,
discontinue use and consult your physician.
11. If TENS therapy becomes ineffective or unpleasant, stimulation
should be discontinued until its use is re-evaluated by a physician
12. Keep this device out of the reach of children.
13. The device has no AP/APG protection.
Do not use it in the presence of explosive atmosphere and
ammable mixture.
EMS
1. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician
2. Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy
has not been established.
3. Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed
heart problems.
4. Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy.
5. Caution should be used in the presence of the following:
a. When there is a tendency to hemorrhage following acute
trauma or fracture;
b. Following recent surgical procedures when muscle
contraction may disrupt the healing process;
c. Over the menstruating or pregnant uterus; and
d. Over areas of the skin which lack normal sensation.
6. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity
due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium.
The irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternate
conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
7. Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based
on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner.
8. Powered muscle stimulators should be kept out of the reach of
children.
9. Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the leads
and electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer.
10. Portable powered muscle stimulators should not be used while
driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which
involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk
of injury.
should only be used under medical supervision for adjunctive thera-
py for the treatment of medical diseases and conditions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read instruction manual before operation. Be sure to comply with
all “CAUTIONS” and “WARNINGS” in the manual. Failure to follow
instructions can cause harm to user or device.
Chapter 3 : CAUTIONS
TENS
1. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
2. Do not use this device for undiagnosed pain syndromes until
consulting a physician.
3. Patients with an implanted electronic device, such as a cardiac
pacemaker, implanted debrillator, or any other metallic or
electronic device should not undergo TENS treatment without
rst consulting a doctor.
4. Patients with heart disease, epilepsy, cancer or any other health
condition should not undergo TENS treatment without rst
consulting a physician.
5. Stimulation delivered by this device may be sufcient to cause
electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not ow
through the thorax or across the chest because it may cause a
cardiac arrhythmia.
6. Do not place electrodes on the front of the throat as spasm of
the Laryngeal and Pharyngeal muscle may occur. Stimulation
over the carotid sinus (neck region) may close the airways,
make breathing difcult, and may have adverse effects on the
heart rhythm or blood pressure.
7. Do not place electrodes on your head or at any sites that may
cause the electrical current to ow transcerebrally (through the
head).
8. This device should not be used while driving, operating
machinery, close to water, or during any activity in which
involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk
of injury.

Chapter 4 : WARNINGS
1. The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are
unknown.
2. Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves,
particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid
sinus reex.
3. Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe
spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and
the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or
cause difculty in breathing.
4. Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac
arrhythmias.
5. Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally.
6. Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or
inamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,

Chapter 13 : PARAMETER CONTROLS
PULSE DURATION
Wider pulse duration settings will deliver stronger stimulation for
any given intensity setting. As mentioned in the Controls section, by

1918
using a combination of intensity and pulse duration different nerve
bres are stimulated.
The wider pulse duration is needed to recruit motor bres, whereas
the narrow pulse duration is used on the more sensory bres. The
choice of which pulse duration to use is partially dependent upon
the Treatment Mode and Protocol selected.
PULSE RATE
The Pulse Rate (hertz or pulses per second) chosen depends great-
ly upon the type of electrode placement given to the patient.
When using contiguous and dermatome electrode placements (i.e.
stimulating directly through the area of pain or localized innnerva-
tion), a higher pulse rate (setting greater than 80Hz on the Pulse
Rate Control) is required. The patient should not perceive individual
pulses but rather have the sensation of steady continuous stimulation.
When using point treatments, it has been suggested that lower
pulse rates be utilized (less than 10Hz). With this setting the patient
should be able to perceive individual pulses.
When using multiple electrode placement strategies, such as com-
binations of point and contiguous electrode placements, the higher
pulse rates are suggested.
Despite the above recommendations, individual patients may re-
quire slight variations of the above settings, according to the nature
of their condition.
TREATMENT MODE
Normal or Conventional TENS offers the practitioners complete con-
trol over all the various treatment parameters of the instrument.
Burst Mode is analogous to the Low Rate TENS technique except
the low frequency individual pulses are replaced by individual “bursts”
of 7-10 individual pulses. It is thus a combination of Conventional
TENS and Low Rate TENS. In Burst Mode, the treatment frequency
is adjustable at the range between 0.5Hz ~ 5Hz.
Modulated Mode attempts to minimise nerve accommodation by
continuously cycling the treatment intensity. Advise the patient to
increase the intensity very slowly when using modulation mode.
INTENSITY
Each patient responds differently to different levels of intensity, due
to varying degrees of tissue resistance, enervation, skin thickness,
etc. Intensity instructions are therefore limited to the following settings:
Perception – The intensity is increased so that the patient can feel
the stimulation, but there is not any muscular contraction.
Slight Contraction – Intensity is increased to a barely visible muscu-
lar contraction that is not strong enough to move a joint. When us-
ing low pulse rate settings, this will show as individual twitches. At
higher pulse rates there will simply be increased muscle tension.
Strong muscular contraction is typically not used in TENS therapy.
However, muscular contraction may be useful if the pain involves a
cramped or spastic muscle. The TENS can be used as a traditional
muscle stimulator in the circumstances to quickly break the spasm.
Use a higher pulse rate, wide pulse duration and set the intensity
to visible contraction (still within patient tolerance). Twenty or thirty
minutes of such a tetanized muscular contraction will generally
break the spasm. In all cases, if the patient complains that the stim-
ulation is uncomfortable, reduce intensity and/or cease stimulation.
TIME DURATION
The onset of pain relief should occur shortly after the intensity set-
ting has been determined. However, in some cases, pain relief may
take as long as 30 minutes to achieve, especially when using point
electrode placements and slow pulse rates.
TENS units are typically operated for long periods of time, with a
minimum of 20 ~ 30 minutes and in some post-operation protocols,
as long as 36 hours.
In general, pain relief will diminish within 30 minutes of the ces-
sation of stimulation. Pain relief obtained through point electrode
placements may last longer (perhaps because of the presence of
endorphins).

2120
CONTRACTION / RELAXATION
The contraction time and relaxation time of EMS is adjustable.
Stimulation will commence at the contraction setting time and cease
at the relaxation setting time. Then the cycle starts over again -
Stimulation, Contraction and Relaxation.
RAMP
In order to achieve a comfortable exercise and avoid discomfort be-
cause of immediate current onset, each contraction may be ramped
so that the signal comes on gradually and smoothly. The intensity of
electrical current will reach the set level within the Ramp time. It will
NOT reach the desired level if the ramp time is greater than the total
contraction time.
OUTPUT MODE
The output of both channels are adjustable. Stimulation can be
synchronous or alternate. Stimulation of both channels will occur at
the same time when synchronus pattern is selected. In alternating
mode, the stimulation from CH2 will occur after contraction of Ch1 is
nished.
Chapter 14 : ATTACHMENT OF ELECTRODE
LEAD WIRES
The wires provided with the
system insert into the jack
sockets located on top of the
device. Holding the insulated
portion of the connector, push
the plug end of the wire into
one of the jacks (see drawing);
one or two sets of wires may
be used.
After connecting the wires to the stimulator, attach each wire to an
electrode. Use care when you plug and unplug the wires. Jerking
the wire instead of holding the insulated connector body may cause
wire breakage.
CAUTION
Do not insert the plug of the patient lead wire into any AC power
supply socket.
Chapter 15: LEAD WIRE MAINTENANCE
Clean the wires by wiping with a damp cloth. Coating them lightly
with talcum powder will reduce tangling and prolong life.
Chapter 16 : ELECTRODE OPTIONS
The electrodes are disposable and should be routinely replaced
when they start to lose their adhesive nature. If you are unsure of
your electrode adhesive properties, order replacement electrodes.
Replacement electrodes should be re-ordered through or on the
advice of your physician to ensure proper quality. Follow application
procedures outlined in electrode packing, to maintain optimal stimu-
lation and to prevent skin irritation.
Chapter 17: ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
The placement of electrodes can be one of the most important
parameters in achieving success with TENS or EMS therapy. It
is important that the physician experiments to determine optimum
electrode placement.
Every patient responds to electrical stimulation differently and their
needs may vary from the conventional settings suggested here. If

2322
the initial results are not positive, speak to your physician about al-
ternative stimulation settings and/or electrode placements. Once an
acceptable placement has been achieved, mark the electrode sites
and the settings, so that effective treatment may effectively continue
at home.
Chapter 18: 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 off. Be sure to rinse soap off 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 physician has
recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed.
4. Many skin problems arise from the “pulling stress” from adhesive
patches that are excessively stretched across the skin during
application. To prevent this, apply electrodes from center
outward; avoid stretching over the skin.
5. To minimize “pulling stress”, tape extra lengths of lead wires to
the skin in a loop to prevent tugging on electrodes.
6. When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the
direction of hair growth.
7. It may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area
when not wearing electrodes.
8. Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.
Chapter 19: APPLICATION OF RE-USABLE SELF
ADHESIVE ELECTRODES
Application
1. Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly with
soap and water prior to application of electrodes.
2. Insert the lead wire into the pin connector on the pre-wired
electrodes.
3. Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply the
electrodes rmly to the treatment site. Make sure that the unit is
turned off prior to applying the electrodes.
Removal
1. Turn off the unit prior to removing the
electrodes.
2. Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel;
do not pull on the lead wires because it
may damage the electrodes.
