Vital Safety Information To Consider When Applying Intensity Twin Stim III

By Cornelia Reyes


It is prudent to start by defining InTENSity Twin Stim III and knowing how it works before indulging on a discussion on the important safety information to consider when using. It may be define as an electric device used for pain relief and electrical muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends the electrical currents which are gentle to the underlying nerves and muscles through electrodes applied on the skin. The buttons on the front panel are used to control the parameters of the device. The level of the intensity is normally adjusted to meet the needs of the patient.

This article looks at some of the vital information to consider when using it. The first information is that it must not be controlled by any person who is not professional and qualified to handle it. It must be operated only by a licenced physician with the knowledge on how to use it.

It must not also be used on a pregnant woman since the inventors are yet to provide safety measures to ensure when using it on a pregnant woman. If it is used, it can lead to miscarriage of the pregnancy.

sinceIt is important to note that it is not effective for use in reducing pain which area of central origin. Such as headache unless the physician has recommended so. This is so since it works through sending electrical current to the muscles underlying the area of pain. Headache is caused from the brain and the muscles should not be send to the nerves in the brain.

The stimulation should not be allowed to occur if the patient is connected to a high frequency surgical equipment. If the stimulation is allowed to take place, the high frequency surgical equipment is likely to cause burn injuries to the skin.

When the patient is connected to surgical equipment with high frequency, the device must never be used on their skin. This is for the reason that it is used, the patient is likely to suffer from burnt skin injuries caused by the electric current from the device. If it has to be used in the patient, the surgical equipment must be disconnected first or the frequency reduced.

It should not be applied to Patients who are having heart diseases unless caution is exercised. It should not be applied in the areas which are near to the heart. This is because it can cause increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest. It should also not be applied over the eyes or nose and any other skin area which larks normal sensation.

Any area close to the heart must also be avoided. This is because if it is used in those areas, there is likelihood that the patient will suffer from cardiac arrest as it exposes ventricular fibrillation to various risk. Patient who are suffering from heart diseases must also refrain from using it. It is recommended that unbroken dry skin areas are the ones which are suitable for use. These forms part of the vital safety information to consider when applying InTENSity Twin Stim III.
