Significant Safety Information To Consider When Applying Intensity Twin Stim III

By Cornelia Reyes


InTENSity Twin Stim III is a device used as a pain reliever by the physicians. It should be used with caution and only in specific areas of the skin. It can also be used for electrical muscle stimulation. It has a stimulator which sends electrical currents to the nerves and the muscles underlying in the area where the patient if feeling pain through the electrodes which are applied in the skin area.

The following are some of the important safety information to consider. The device should only be handled by a physician who is licensed to handle it. The device do not have any curative value to talk off and the long term effect are not known.

It must not also be used on a pregnant woman since the inventors are yet to provide safety measures to ensure when using it on a pregnant woman. If it is used, it can lead to miscarriage of the pregnancy.

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.

It should also not be used on carotid sinus nerve in a situation where the sensitivity of the patient to the carotid sinus reflex is known. It ought not to be used to cure pains which are in areas such as the neck and the mouth as it has the capability of causing difficulty in breathing for the patient. It must never be used transthoracally.

This is for the intention that it is applied transthoracally, some of the electric current may be introduce d to the heart hence may result into cardiac arrhythmias to the patient. Whenever the patient is connected to a surgical equipment with high frequency, The stimulation must be prevented from occurring since it may burn the skin of the patient cause injuries instead of relieving the pain.

If it is used in the in areas surrounded by either microwave therapy equipment or shortwave therapy equipment, there is likelihood that its output power will be affected. Therefore it must not be applied within the areas surrounded by the microwave and shortwave therapy equipment. Areas with high humidity in the environment such as the bathrooms must also be avoided.

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
