Contraindications: Known neurological disorders. Do not use this device on patients who have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or electronic device, because this may cause electric shock, burns, electrical interference, or death. Do not use this device on patients whose pain syndromes are undiagnosed. Warnings: Read the entire User Manual before attempting to use the device. Use of cables or accessories other than those supplied with the STIMPOD NMS460 may result in serious injury. ii Maintenance on this device may only be performed by the manufacturer or persons explicitly authorized by the manufacturer. Do not use the STIMPOD NMS460 in close proximity to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as high frequency surgical equipment. The cable leads could act as antennae and dangerous currents could be induced as a result. The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the device should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. The patient should avoid contact with metallic objects that are grounded, produce an electrical conductive connection with other equipment and/or enable capacitive coupling. The cables should be positioned in such a way that they do not contact either the patient or other cables. Simultaneous connection of a patient to high frequency surgical ME equipment and the STIMPOD NMS460 may result in burns and possible damage to the stimulator. Operation in close proximity (e.g. 1m) to a shortwave or microwave therapy ME equipment may produce instability in the stimulator output. Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation. If battery acid has leaked into the device essential circuitry may have been compromised. In the event of leakage the device must be returned to its manufacturer for safety checks and possible repairs. Do not apply stimulation over the patient s neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure. Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins). Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions. Do not apply stimulation when the patient is in the bath or shower. Do not apply stimulation while the patient is sleeping. Do not apply the stimulation while the patient is driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can put the patient at risk of injury. Do not apply stimulation when the leads are open circuited (e.g. when the electrodes are held in the user s hands). Do not remove electrodes when stimulation is being applied (to avoid unintended, possibly hazardous, stimulation pathways).

Stimulation should not be applied across or through the head, directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of the neck, (especially the carotid sinus), or from electrodes placed on the chest and the upper back or crossing over the heart. Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation. Do not apply stimulation over the menstruating or pregnant uterus. Cautions: Remove elements which may adversely affect the connection between the ECG electrodes and the skin, e.g., dirt, hair, oil. Ensure that ECG electrodes are not damaged or dried out. ECG electrodes may be used in the higher current ranges (> 10 ma). This product must be stored at room temperature. This product must be transported in the carry case provided. This product and all the accessories have been certified latex free. Inspect all parts for any damage or manipulation. Never use any damaged or manipulated part! If an electrically conductive surface of the STIMPOD NMS460 device or its cables are exposed, such electrically conductive surface may shock a person handling it. Do not use such a device or accessory, please contact the manufacturer for repair. A sterile wipe should be used to disinfect the Nerve Mapping Probe prior to use. Keep this device out of reach of children. Use this device under the continued supervision of a licensed practitioner. Precautions: Electrical nerve stimulators are not effective for pain of central origin, including headache caused by central origin. Electrical nerve stimulators are not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies. Electrical nerve stimulator devices have no curative value. Electrical nerve stimulators are a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism. Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner qualified in the management of pain patients. The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown. Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied across the head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the head. The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel). Patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy should follow precautions recommended by their physicians. Use caution when patient has a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture. Use caution following recent surgical procedures when stimulation may disrupt the patient s healing process. Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of the skin that lack normal sensation. Adverse Reactions: Patients may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes applied to the skin. Patients may experience headache and other painful sensation during or following the application of electrical stimulation near the eyes and to the head and face. Patients should stop using the device and should consult with their physicians if they experience adverse reactions from the device. Warranty: The STIMPOD NMS460 carries a 12 Month Warranty against defects, provided that the device was used in accordance with the operating instructions. The STIMPOD NMS460 enclosure should not be opened under any circumstances. Opening the unit will void the warranty. Note: The STIMPOD NMS460 is not intended for home use.

1) Getting to know the STIMPOD NMS460 1.1) Device Description The STIMPOD NMS460 is a Low Frequency Neuromodulation Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation device, used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain and/or as and adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain, post traumatic acute pain, as well as and adjunct for pain control due to rehabilitation. The STIMPOD NMS460 offers two types of waveforms for the treatment of pain. The first is a Monophasic Square Wave, which is typical of normal TENS machines. The second waveform is a Hybrid RF waveform which consists of a Monophasic Square Wave with a superimposed Radio Frequency waveform. This waveform is proprietary and is unique to the STIMPOD NMS460. For more information on the benefits of using this modality please visit www.xavant.com. 1.2) Accessories WARNING: Use of cables or other accessories other than those supplied with the STIMPOD NMS460 may result in serious injury. NOTE: Standard ECG Electrodes can be used for the anode. Such ECG electrodes need to conform to ANSI/AAMI EC12 on disposable ECG electrodes, ISO 10993 on biocompatibility and the European Medical Device Directive. ECG electrodes are not included in this package. Probe Cable: The red (anode) connector is designed to clip on to a standard ECG electrode. The ergonomically designed Probe is used to stimulate the affected area. Carry Case Batteries: This unit uses 4 x AAA penlight batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended. When the battery is depleted the unit will prompt the user to replace the battery and switch off. Switch device off before replacing battery. Remove battery if the device is not to be used for an extended period of time, to prevent leakage. WARNING: If battery acid has leaked into the device essential circuitry may have been compromised. In the event of leakage the device must be returned to its manufacturer for safety checks and possible repairs. 1
