Foreword; Medical Background - Gima Gimacare R-C4A Bedienungsanleitung

Introduction
The device R-C4A is a dual channel output TENS, EMS and
MASSAGE stimulator. Before using, please read all the in-
structions in this user manual carefully and keep it safe for
future use.
The COMBO stimulator belongs to the group of electrical
stimulation systems. It has three basic functions‒ TENS
(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Elec-
tronic Muscle Stimulation) and MASSAGE.
Function of the COMBO stimulator: The device has 60
programs (30 TENS programs, 27 EMS programs and 3
MASSAGE programs) and applies electric currents in the
low-frequency range for therapy. Each program controls
the generated electric impulses, their intensity, frequency
and pulse width.
Based on simulating the b o d y ' s natural pulses, the mecha-
nism of electrical stimulation equipment is to create elec-
tric impulses that are transcutaneous transmitted to nerves
or muscle fibers through the electrode. The intensity of
the dual channel can be adjusted independently and app-
lied individually to one body part. This dual channel device
can be used with four pieces of electrodes, which allow you
to stimulate one muscle groups simultaneously with a wi-
de
st
of stimulation in nerves as well as muscle tissues in the
body parts.
