Significant Safety Information To Consider When Applying Intensity Twin Stim III

By Cornelia Reyes


It is prudent to start by defining InTENSity Twin Stim III and knowing how it works before indulging on a discussion on the important safety information to consider when using. It may be define as an electric device used for pain relief and electrical muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends the electrical currents which are gentle to the underlying nerves and muscles through electrodes applied on the skin. The buttons on the front panel are used to control the parameters of the device. The level of the intensity is normally adjusted to meet the needs of the patient.

This article looks at some of the vital information to consider when using it. The first information is that it must not be controlled by any person who is not professional and qualified to handle it. It must be operated only by a licenced physician with the knowledge on how to use it.

Its use is a symptomatic treatment. It therefore suppresses the sensation of pain. It should not be used during pregnancy. This is because the safety to be used by pregnant women has not been established. If a pregnant woman has to use it, then it has to be directed by a physician who must be having very good reasons for using it. It is not effective to be used to reduce pain which is of central origin like headache.

sinceIt is important to note that it is not effective for use in reducing pain which area of central origin. Such as headache unless the physician has recommended so. This is so since it works through sending electrical current to the muscles underlying the area of pain. Headache is caused from the brain and the muscles should not be send to the nerves in the brain.

The other important to note that power output of InTENSity Twin Stim III may be affected if it is used in the same place where there is microwave and shortwave therapy equipment. Therefore the physician should ensure that it is used in a place free from any interference from any equipment. The environment for its use is another thing to consider. The environment should be one which is free from moist such as the washrooms.

When the patient is connected to surgical equipment with high frequency, the device must never be used on their skin. This is for the reason that it is used, the patient is likely to suffer from burnt skin injuries caused by the electric current from the device. If it has to be used in the patient, the surgical equipment must be disconnected first or the frequency reduced.

It is also necessary to note that it is not recommended to be used on patients suffering from any heart disease on any skin are close to the heart. This is to prevent that the patient from suffering cardiac arrest. The physician using the device must ensure that the skin are is clean and dry.

It should only be applied to skin areas which are dry clean and which are not broken. The electrodes must also be kept separated during the treatment. These are some of the important safety information to consider when applying InTENSity Twin Stim III
