Description
The Omron E3 Pain Reliever is a drug-free pain reliever, with pre-set programs for back, shoulders, joints and muscles. The device is based on TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) technology, which is clinically proven and widely used by physiotherapists and pain specialists. The E3 Pain Reliever features a compact design for use at home, work or travelling by plane and train. The device is intuitive and easy to use. With a large display, you can easily choose a programme and see the remaining treatment time at a glance.
There are 6 pre-programmed zones that you can choose from, including back, shoulders, joints, arms, legs, sole or feet and one can adjust the intensity level which suits best. There are also 3 massage modes – tap, knead and rub. This device uses Triple Action TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) technology that helps to block the pain message, trigger the release of endorphins (natural pain killers) and improve the blood circulation (as result of repeated muscle contracting and relaxing). The E3 Pain Reliever comes with long life pads that are reusable up to 150 times.
Size: 52mm x 25mm x 112mm.
The Omron E3 Pain Reliever contains:
- E3 Intense unit
- 1 x set of pads
- 1x set of batteries
- Cable
- Pad Holder
- Instruction Manual
Uses
The Omron E3 Pain Reliever is 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. It should be applied to normal, healthy, dry, and clean skin of adult patients.
Since the 1970’s, pain relief based on TENS has been widely used by many healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists and pain specialists. This unit is intended to be operated by adults for home use.
Application
Assembly Steps:
• Remove the battery cover on the back using a coin
• Insert batteries

Pad Placement:

• Do not overlap pads or put on top of each other
• Do not add spray, lotions or creams to skin or pads
• Do not share pads
• Before starting your therapy, rate your pain from 1 low to 15 high – this mental check gives you a basis you can compare to once the session is complete.
Lower Back:
• Attach both pads on the lower back according to your pain
• Place pads on muscle of back, not on spine, for optimal therapy

Shoulder:
