OMRON HeatTens is a Pain Reliever intended for reducing and relieving muscles and joints pain, stiffness and numbness in the back, arms, legs, shoulders and feet by applying electrical nerve stimulation to the surface of the skin near the site of the pain. The HeatTens offers both soothing heat and relieves pain using TENS technology.
3 Year Warranty
Features and cautions
Dual Therapy: HEAT+TENS. Two heat intensities (optional) and nine pre-set TENS modes (for arm, back, leg, foot, joint, shoulder and three generic massaging modes).
Triple action TENS Technology (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) which helps to block the pain message, to trigger the release of endorphins and to improve blood circulation.
Drug free pain relief for home use.
Rechargeable battery.
Disposal of the device and battery
Before disposing the main unit, remove the rechargeable battery and please follow local regulations on environmentally safe disposal of battery and main unit.
The unit will continue automatically for 15 minutes before it shuts off. We recommend a total of 2 x 15 minutes therapy in one sitting, up to 3 times/day.
- In case of experiencing an adverse reaction (skin irritation/redness/burns, headache or painful sensation, or if you feel any discomfort).
- If pain gets worse or no relief of pain is felt after more than 5 days.
Electrical signals are sent via ‘electrode pads’ to specific points on the body. This causes the muscles to react. As a result, two things happen:
1. Muscle pumping action:
By applying low-frequency electrical waves to a body area with stiffness/tiredness, muscles contract and extend (relax)
Muscle contracts: blood containing ‘waste’ is flushed out
Muscle relaxes: fresh blood rushes in
By this repeated ‘muscle pumping’ process, blood flow is improve
> Shoulder stiffness, tired legs and cramps are relieved.
2. Shutting out pain signals:
By applying low-frequency signals to the painful area, the nerves near this area are stimulated, which affects the pain-transmission mechanism (‘inhibits’ pain messages) towards spinal cord. These have relatively short effect. Frequencies: 2 ~ 100Hz.
Electrical waves also stimulate the human body to produce natural Morphine-like substances (endorphins). These have a much longer effect (5 ~ 12 hrs).
Frequencies: 100 ~ 1200 Hz.
>As a result, the sense of pain is relieved.
The Electrode Pads, including the ‘ePlus LongLife Pads’ do require periodic replacement. However, it is often possible to extend the life of the pads by simply rinsing them under a cold water faucet (no soap is required), shaking off the excess moisture, return the pads to the clear plastic cover sheet or the plastic holder (ePlus LongLife Pads only), and then place the pads in the refrigerator overnight (not the freezer). This should restore the adhesion of the pads. If it does not, the pads are worn and should be replaced. Contact your nearest OMRON retailer to obtain these.
