INDICATIONS FOR USE
6
ELECTROTHERAPY INDICATIONS
INDICATIONS
TENS:
• Symptomatic relief of acute and chronic pain associated
with musculoskeletal conditions
• Management and alleviation of post-operative pain
NMES:
• Skeletal muscle deficit disorders resulting in benefits
such as:
» Muscle re-education
» Maintaining/increasing range of motion
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The Intelect
Transport 2 should NOT be used under the
®
following conditions:
• Do not use for symptomatic local pain relief unless
etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome has
been diagnosed.
• Do not use when cancerous lesions are present in the
treatment area.
• Do not apply stimulation over swollen, infected, inflamed
areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, etc.).
• Do not use when patient is suspected or known to have
an infectious disease and/or disease where it is advisable,
for general medical purposes, to suppress heat or fevers.
• Do not place electrode placements to the carotid sinus
region (anterior neck) or transcerebrally (through the
head).
• Do not use on pregnant women. Safety has not
been established for the use of therapeutic electrical
stimulation during pregnancy.
• Do not use Intelect® Transport 2 on patients who have or
have had implantable neurostimulating cardiac demand
pacemakers, ICD, or other implantable electronic devices.
• Do not use Intelect
Transport 2 on patients with
®
body worn electromechanical medical devices, i.e.
insulin pump.

• Do not use this system in an MRI or CT environment. The
Intelect® Transport 2, its components, and accessories are
not to be present in an MRI or CT environment.
• Do not apply stimulation transthoratically or on the chest,
the introduction of electrical current into the heart may
cause cardiac arrhythmia.
• Do not apply stimulation over the anterior neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles
may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to
close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed
heart problems.
• Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy.
• Use caution in the presence of the following:
» When there is a tendency to hemorrhage following
acute trauma or fracture
» Following recent surgical procedures when muscle
contraction may disrupt the healing process
» Over a menstruating or pregnant uterus
» Over areas of the skin that lack normal sensation
• Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with
the lead wires and electrodes recommended for use by
the manufacturer.
• With TENS waveforms, isolated cases of skin irritation
may occur at the site of electrode placement following
long-term application.
• The effective management of pain by TENS waveforms
is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person
qualified in pain management.
