OPERATING MANUAL STIMAWELL® 120MTRS EN
Dear customer,
We would like to thank you for deciding to acquire the StimaWELL®120MTRS. You now have a
high quality dynamic deep wave therapy system which has been designed to exploit the latest
technological advances in this field.
By means of a twelve channel, heat treatment stimulation mat you are now able to offer your
patient a multi-dimensional back treatment system. What is special about the Sti-
maWELL®120MTRS is the flow of complex electrical waves over the StimaWELL®Stimulation
Mat which thereby reach deep layers of the musculature. The system has been designed
predominantly for Pain Therapy, muscle therapy and massage. Your patient will benefit from
the increased range of options which you can now offer.
In addition, there is the thermal treatment effect provided by the StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat
which can be heated up to 40°C. The StimaWELL®120MTRS System provides a comprehensive
package for the prophylaxis and therapy of acute and chronic back complaints. In the fore-
ground and depending on the modulation of the stimulation, is Pain Therapy, muscle building,
muscle relaxation and also various types of massage such as tapping, stroking and kneading.
Based on these elements, the programs provide effective therapy combinations and are con-
tingent on diagnosis and clinic. The whole package represents for your patient an effective,
deeply relaxing therapy system.
Two of the many advantages of medium frequency stimulation compared with other types are
the attainment of a high level of patient compatibility and the soothing sensation which is
generated by the flow of electrical current. This process activates powerful muscle contrac-
tions and larger treatment areas and volumes can be addressed. The medium frequency cur-
rents of the StimaWELL®120MTRS System in the range 2000 –6000 Hz more easily overcome
the skin resistance aspect than currents in the lower frequency ranges. This means that for the
patient, therapy based on the flow of electrical current in the medium frequency range is
frequently experienced as particularly pleasurable rather than irritating.
The StimaWELL®120MTRS Systems is extremely easy to operate and requires no special prepa-
ration. Thanks to the 12 channels of the StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat, the possibly complicat-
ed connection of individual electrodes is unnecessary. Control via the intuitive touch screen is
simple and self-explanatory. Programs can be selected quickly and, if required, matched to the
specific needs of your patient. Thanks to the new mode Automatic Program Selection Based
On Indications with the StimaWELL®120MTRS System you have the option to automatically
select the appropriate therapy program according to the anamnestic data and which can be
applied in every therapy session. Your patient is at all times able to control the level of electri-
cal current via the remote control unit.

Please read carefully the operating instructions for the StimaWELL®120MTRS System before
using.
The StimaWELL®120MTRS System is only to be used with original accessories.
Keep water or other liquids well away from the StimaWELL®120MTRS Control Unit. The
StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat can be moistened with water.
Never use the StimaWELL®120MTRS System if it is defective or damaged.
The StimaWELL®120MTRS System should not be operated at the same time as high fre-
quency electrical devices such as mobile telephones because this can result in an interaction
between the electro-magnetic fields of such devices with the StimaWELL®120MTRS System
The StimaWELL®120MTRS System is only to be used by one patient at any one time.
The StimaWELL®120MTRS System should not be dropped, improperly used or be exposed to
extreme temperatures or high humidity levels (use only in the temperature range 10°C -
40°C and a relative humidity level below 70 %).
Simultaneous connection of the patient to an ME device for high-frequency surgery can
cause burns below the electrode areas of the stimulation current device and result in
damage to the stimulation current device.
Operation in close proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or microwave therapy ME equip-
ment may produce instability in the stimulator output.
Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
Any electrodes that have current densities exceeding 2 mA/cm² may require the special
attention of the operator.
The stimulation should not be applied across or through the head, directly on the eyes,
covering the mouth, on the front of the neck, (especially the carotid sinus), or from elec-
trodes placed on the chest and the upper back or crossing over the heart.
Store the StimaWELL®120MTRS Control Unit in its original packing and protect against dam-
age and dirt.
Avoid the penetration of sharp edged objects in the StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat or con-
necting cable.
Operate the StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat exclusively with the Stima WELL®120MTRS Con-
trol Unit.
Before changing the position of the StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat and / or the Sti-
maWELL®120MTRS Control Unit, terminate the stimulation, switch off the Control Unit and
first remove the connection plug of the StimaWELL®Stimulation Mat from the Sti-
maWELL®120MTRS Control Unit.

ATTENTION!
Particular attention must be paid to the central positioning of the patient on the stimulation
mat. The spinous process must be placed in the vertical mat cleft.
For safety reasons, application with the StimaWELL® 120MTRS should be carried out under
repeated monitoring of patient and device.
Pay particular attention when treating patients with sensory disturbances or sensory loss in
the application area.
Moisten the whole underlay well and evenly with water prior to the treatment to ensure
sufficient and constant current flow.
