1 Intended use
The EMP 2 PRO has been designed as a device for the generation of transcutaneous electrical
stimulation of nerves and muscles on humans and may not be used for any other purpose.
Please read the operating instructions carefully before using the EMP 2 PRO.
2 Safety instructions
Important safety hints
The EMP 2 PRO is only to be used for stimulation purposes on one patient at a time.
Use the EMP 2 PRO only with original accessories. The size of the electrodes should not be less
than 2 cm². The electrodes should be positioned in such a way that the current flow will not cross
the heart.
Keep the EMP 2 PRO away from water or other liquids. Do not drop the EMP 2 PRO, do not use
it inappropriately or expose it to extreme temperatures or high levels of humidity (not less than
10°C or more than 40°C or a relative humidity of more than 90 %).
Do not use the EMP 2 PRO if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged in any way.
Be careful when using the EMP 2 PRO near or on children. Keep the unit away from children.
Always store the EMP 2 PRO in its case to protect it from damage and dust.
To avoid reciprocal interference, the EMP 2 PRO should not be operated in the vicinity of other
electronic devices. If this is not possible, the various unit functions should be closely monitored
during operation so that proper use in accordance with the regulations is ensured. The
simultaneous connection to the patient of a high frequency surgery unit can lead to skin burning
under the electrodes or around the probe. Operating close (1m) to short wave and microwave
units or mobile telephone systems can cause fluctuations in the output values of the electric
current stimulation unit.
Do not use the machine during the simultaneous operation of other machines when driving or
when asleep.

Contra-indication
Check with your physician before using the EMP 2 PRO if one of these points applies to you:
•Patients with electronic implants such as heart pacemakers, defibrillators or pumps
•Patients with cardiac rhythm disorders
•During pregnancy
•Patients subject to seizure disorder / epilepsy
•Patients with skin disorders in the vicinity of the electrodes
•Patients with malignant diseases in the region of application
Side effects
•Pain caused by the stimulation: The stimulation can be perceived as uncomfortable/painful if
the electric current is too intensive or if the electrodes have been positioned unfavorably.
Unpleasant side effects can be avoided by adjusting the intensity, using another program with
other parameters and the possible re-positioning of the electrodes.
•Skin intolerance which can result from the electrodes, electrode gel or electric current
impulses. The physician should be consulted in cases of reddening, burning, itching or
blistering under the electrodes or in the vicinity of the electrodes. Slight skin reddening of
short duration in the area of the electrodes following stimulation is quite normal because
blood circulation has been improved by the effects of the stimulation.
•Muscular pain: If the stimulation has been too intense or too long muscular aches in terms of
sore muscle can occur. Shorten the treatment time and the intensity of stimulation at the
beginning of muscle stimulation to avoid muscle ache.

9 General information on intensity settings
Do not try to achieve a too high level of intensity. Set the intensity in such a way that you get a
comfortable feeling during the stimulation. Increase the intensity carefully to a tolerable
maximum, and then reduce it slightly step by step to a comfortable level. Please note that the
intensity settings change depending on the stimulation area and time. This is normal and can be
explained as follows:
Resistance of the skin: Dry skin has a lower conductivity level than wet skin (due to sweating).
The skin does not show the same resistance to linear current on all parts of the body. For
example, the resistance level of horny skin can be twice that of the skin in the hollow of the knee.
The innervation differs greatly according to the area of the body. This results in a difference of
sensitivity.
Volume of the muscle mass: If you stimulate muscles with a high volume you will automatically
need to set a higher intensity than for the stimulation of small muscles.
Muscle fatigue: A tired muscle will only tolerate a lower intensity.
Age of electrodes: Self-adhesive electrodes do not last forever. The number of use depends on
the quality of the electrodes but also on the skin of the user. Old electrodes have a higher
resistance and their conductivity levels decline. It is important to replace electrodes regularly.
Adaption to the current: The nerves adapt rapidly to the current. It is normal to feel “less
current” after a few minutes of stimulation with specific parameters. In such a case feel free to
increase the intensity in order to get the best results.
Frequency and pulse width: Frequencies and pulse widths differ depending on the program.
Therefore the intensity cannot be set at the same level for all the programs even if the electrodes
are placed in the same position. The higher the frequency is set, the lower you will be able to set
the intensity. The higher the pulse width is set, the lower you will be able to set the intensity.

Electrode placement for dynamic stimulation
The stimulation is not administered simultaneously on both channels. The current flows from one
electrode to the other like a wave on the body. This kind of stimulation is far more comfortable
than traditional neuro-muscular stimulation. Dynamic stimulation can be used with high frequency
parameters for an improved pain control or with low frequency parameters for optimized muscle
stimulation. This treatment method also has an enhanced effect on lymphatic drainage
stimulation. The placement of electrodes for dynamic stimulation depends on the direction of
stimulation (rising/falling stimulation or sideways stimulation)
Rising or falling stimulation Sideways stimulation
for back or legs for gluteus muscle or stomach muscle
