InTENSity Twin Stim III is a device used as a pain reliever by the physicians. It should be used with caution and only in specific areas of the skin. It can also be used for electrical muscle stimulation. It has a stimulator which sends electrical currents to the nerves and the muscles underlying in the area where the patient if feeling pain through the electrodes which are applied in the skin area.

The following are the significant information to consider when using it. It is recommended that only licenced physicians should use it on the patients. This is because those who are not doctors may end up using it in places which is recommended and for relieving pain which is also recommended. It not recommended for use on patients who are pregnant as the electric current may case miscarriage of the pregnancy.

Patients with known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex should not use the device on the carotid sinus nerve. This is for the reason that can cause effect to the nerves. If the patient is having pain in areas such as the neck and the mouths, an alternative pain reliever should be used.

This is for the reason that the electric electrons are likely to cause breathing difficulty to the patient. It must also not be applied transthoracally as this may introduce some electric currents to the heart. As a result of the introduction of the electric current to the heart, the patient will suffer from cardiac arrhythmias.

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.

This is for the intention that it is applied transthoracally, some of the electric current may be introduce d to the heart hence may result into cardiac arrhythmias to the patient. Whenever the patient is connected to a surgical equipment with high frequency, The stimulation must be prevented from occurring since it may burn the skin of the patient cause injuries instead of relieving the pain.

If it is used in the in areas surrounded by either microwave therapy equipment or shortwave therapy equipment, there is likelihood that its output power will be affected. Therefore it must not be applied within the areas surrounded by the microwave and shortwave therapy equipment. Areas with high humidity in the environment such as the bathrooms must also be avoided.

This is for the motive that the device emits electric current which may react with the moisture on the skin are and cause injury. Electric currents should never be exposed to any moisture on even to a wet skin of the patient. The device should also be kept out of reach of children. These are some of thesSignificant safety information to consider when applying InTENSity Twin Stim III
