INTRODUCTION

LiberaTM is a Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulator (TENS) used for

pain relief. LiberaTM is portable, compact, and stylish in design.

It may help relieve pain in various areas of the body, such as the

lower back, shoulders, arms, and legs.

1. What is pain?

Pain warns our body of injury to prevent further damage.

This sensation is important because without it, vital parts of

our body might be injured without our knowledge. However,

long-lasting, persistent (chronic) pain, once diagnosed serves

no apparent purpose and reduces quality of life.

2. How does TENS work?

TENS refers to the transmission of small electrical pulses through

the skin to the underlying peripheral nerves. The theory of TENS

suggests two different modes of operation:

In conventional (high frequency) TENS, continuous mild electrical

activity may block the pain signal travelling to the brain. If the pain

signal does not get through to the brain, the pain is not “felt”.

In low frequency TENS, short bursts of electrical activity may

stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s own natural

pain-control substance. Ask your physician or therapist for more

details. No matter what pain theory is used, TENS has been

proven useful in pain management for many patients in helping

to make their lives better.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1. TENS is a symptomatic treatment that suppresses the sensation

of pain. It has no curative value and is not effective on pain that

is of central origin.

2. Do not use in the following situations: Undiagnosed pain

syndromes (until etiology is established) • Cancerous lesions that

are present in the treatment area • Swollen, infected, inamed

areas or skin eruptions (eg: phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose

veins, etc.) • Demand type implanted pacemaker or debrillator,

or any metallic implant • Epilepsy • Serious arterial circulatory

problems in the lower limbs • Abdominal or inguinal hernia.

Safety has not been established for use during pregnancy.

WARNING

For external use only • The long-term effects of frequent electrical

stimulation is unknown • This device should be used only

under the continued supervision of a licensed medical practitioner

• Do not apply stimulation over the thyroid or carotid sinus regions

as this could disrupt breathing, cardiac frequency or blood

pressure • Do not use while connected to high-frequency surgical

equipment or near shortwave or microwave therapy equipment.

• Never use in environments with high humidity (eg: bathroom)

• Never place the electrodes anywhere on the front of the thorax

or transthoracically as it can increase the risk of ventricular

brillation, cause cardiac arrhythmia and lead to cardiac arrest

• Never place the gel pad in a way that would cause the current to

go through the head • Never use near the eyes, the genitals, the

heart or on areas which lack normal sensation • This stimulator

should never be used by patients who are noncompliant or are

emotionally, cognitively or mentally impaired • Keep the

stimulator out of reach of children

3. Precautions

• Do not adjust controls while operating machinery or vehicles

• Turn the stimulator off before applying or removing gel pad

• Only use with ProActiveTM gel pads

• Long-term stimulation at the same site may cause

skin irritation. Use only as prescribed by a physician

• Never use in rooms where aerosols (sprays) are used

or pure oxygen is being administered. Do not use it near

highly ammable substances, gases or explosives

• Apply the gel pad to clean, dry, and unbroken skin only

• Should the treatment become unpleasant, discontinue the use

of this device until its use has been reassessed by a physician

or therapist

4. Possible Adverse Reactions

• Skin irritation or burn under the gel pad

• Allergic skin reaction to gel pad

• Headache and other painful sensations during or following

the application of electrical stimulation near your eyes, face,

and head.

Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed

and put into service according to the EMC information provided.

Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communication

equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Prepare the Unit

1. Before use, charge LiberaTM with the enclosed USB cable.

It can be plugged into a computer’s USB port or into a wall

socket using an adaptor (not included). Charging time: 2 hours.

Note: The LED light on the device will keep ashing while

charging and will become solid after it is completed.

2. Peel off the blue plastic lm from the gel pad to expose the

adhesive. Then apply the gel pad onto the back of the TENS

unit, as illustrated.

Apply to Treatment Area

3. Carefully peel the clear backing from the gel pad and apply

the unit to the treatment area (eg: shoulder or leg).

Press down rmly to ensure a full and rm contact with skin.

Set the Pulse Mode and Intensity

4. Press the “ On / Off ” button to turn on the unit. The LED will light

up and the unit will beep once, indicating that it is ready.

The default pulse mode (mode 1) is called “Scraping”.

Back Waist Shoulders Arms Legs

6. Press the “+” or “ - ” buttons for 3 seconds to navigate

to the desired pulse mode. Pulse modes in order are:

Mode 1 – Scraping

Mode 2 – Massage

Mode 3 – Tapping

Mode 4 – Acupuncture

Mode 5 – Combination of the above four modes

When the mode is changed from one to another, the LED light

will ash and the sound will beep to represent the corresponding

mode selected. For example, if Mode 3 is selected, the LED light

will ash and the sound will beep three times.

5. Use the “ + ” and “ - ” buttons to increase and decrease the pulse

intensity to suit your needs and comfort level. The LED will ash

and the unit will beep once to conrm that the intensity level was

changed. The maximum intensity level is 15.

• Press once to

increase intensity.

Press and hold for 3 seconds

to select next mode up.
