IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Keep this device and the pads out of the reach of infants, toddlers and
children.
Keep out of the reach of young children because the AC adapter cord
could cause strangulation.

before using this device.
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.
Do not place this device across your chest or near your heart because
the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm
disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.
Do not place the pads near or on cancerous lesions, diseased skin,
open wounds, rashes, swollen, red, infected or inflamed areas or skin
eruptions such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins.
Do not place the pads over your neck because this could cause severe
muscle spasms resulting in closure of your airway, difficulty in
breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
Do not place the pads on or near the head, mouth, face, heart or
genitals.
Do not use this device when bathing, showering, sleeping, during
exercise, while sweating or in high humidity.

using this device.
Apply the pads only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin of adult
patients.
For Hospitals and Clinics: Operation in close proximity (e.g. 1 m)
to a shortwave or microwave therapy ME equipment may produce

For Hospitals and Clinics: Simultaneous connection of a patient to high
frequency surgical equipment and this device may result in bums at the
site of the stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the stimulator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
TENS is not effective for pain of central origin, including headache.
TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain
management therapies.
TENS devices have no curative value.
TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the
sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a
practitioner qualified in the management of pain patients.
Do not use this device to treat one region for extended periods of
time. The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
If you experience any skin irritation or redness after a session, do not
continue stimulation in that area of the skin.
If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow
precautions recommended by your physician.
If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow
precautions recommended by your physician.
Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as
following an injury or fracture.
Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent
surgical procedure because stimulation may disrupt the healing
process.
Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating uterus.
Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack
normal sensation.
Use this device only with components provided in the AvailTM
packaging and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. (Refer
to page 11 and 37)
Place the pads at least 1 inch apart. Do not place the adhesive surface
of the pads on the spine.
Do not apply the pads with wet hands, and do not apply the pads that
are wet.
Pads are for Single Patient Use Only. Never share the pads with
another person.

8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not overlap or put the pads on top of each other because therapy
may weaken or stop.
Do not leave the pads placed on the skin after treatment.
Do not apply any lotion, cream or ointment to the pads.
Never attempt to modify the device.
The pads should not touch any metal object such as a belt buckle or
necklace.
To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads, only put the
pads on the skin or the plastic pad holder.
Always place clean pads in accordance with illustrations provided
(Refer to pages 20 - 24, Pad Placement).
If the device is not functioning properly or you feel discomfort,
immediately stop using the device.
Before use, inspect the cord for open wires or any damage. If
damaged, do not use and replace immediately.
Clean and dry affected area so it is free of all lotions, oils and sweat.
Clean or change the pad when it loses adhesion.
Do not put any metal object, such as coin, clip or other metal on the charger.
Do not put the pad on your body where it cannot be reached by your
own hand.
Do not place the storage case within 2 inches (approx. 5 cm) to any
magnetic memory devices such as key cards or credit cards. Magnets
are embedded in the storage case so that it may lose data stored on a
magnetic memory.
Data Transmission/Remote Control
Do not place integrated circuit cards, magnets, metal objects, or
other devices that emit electromagnetic fields near this device while
the device is controlled remotely. This may result in the incorrect
operation of your device and smartphone.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
•You should stop using the device and should consult with your
physician if you experience adverse reactions from the device.

10
HOW THE DEVICE WORKS
TENS therapy suggests that electrical stimulation therapy may work in
several ways:
1. The gentle electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves
to block or shut out the pain message from reaching the brain from
the source of the pain.
2. The gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body’s
natural pain killer, such as endorphins.
3. Furthermore, it is thought that electrical stimulation improves blood
circulation.
About Microcurrent Therapy
Microcurrent is a therapy that applies extremely small electrical
currents to the nerves using electrodes placed on the skin.
