Combo Stimulator IF-5000 User Manual
The Combo Stimulator IF-5000 is a portable electrotherapy device that offers four therapeutic modes: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), Interferential (IF), and Microcurrent (Micro). This device can help you relieve pain, relax muscle spasms, increase blood circulation, prevent muscle atrophy, and improve muscle function. This user manual will guide you through the features, functions, and operation of the Combo Stimulator IF-5000.
Features
Dual channel output: You can use up to four electrodes to treat two different areas at the same time.
Large LCD screen: You can easily view the mode, intensity, timer, and battery status on the screen.
14 preset programs: You can choose from 14 different programs that are designed for specific conditions and body parts.
Adjustable intensity: You can adjust the intensity level from 0 to 100 mA for each channel.
Adjustable timer: You can set the treatment duration from 1 to 60 minutes, or use the continuous mode for unlimited time.
Electrode detection function: The device will automatically reset the intensity to zero if it detects an open circuit or a loose electrode connection.
Battery powered or AC adapter: You can use a standard 9V battery or an AC adapter (100-240V) to power the device.
Low battery indicator: The device will beep and flash the battery icon when the battery is low.
Auto shut-off: The device will turn off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity or when the timer ends.

Mode
Description
Indications
TENS
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It is a non-invasive and drug-free method of controlling pain by sending small electrical impulses through the skin to the nerves. These impulses block the pain signals from reaching the brain and stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural painkillers.
TENS can be used for symptomatic relief of chronic pain, post-traumatic pain, and post-surgical pain.
EMS
EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. It is a technique that uses electrical impulses to cause muscle contractions. These contractions help strengthen and tone the muscles, improve blood flow, and prevent muscle atrophy.
EMS can be used for relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention of disuse atrophy, muscle re-education, and maintaining or increasing range of motion.
IF
IF stands for Interferential. It is a type of stimulation that uses two alternating currents of different frequencies that interfere with each other to produce a deeper and more powerful stimulation. This stimulation can penetrate deeper into the tissues and reach more nerve fibers than TENS. It can also reduce inflammation and edema by increasing blood circulation.
IF can be used for chronic pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects.
Micro
Micro stands for Microcurrent. It is a type of stimulation that uses very low-level currents that are similar to the natural currents in the body. These currents can help repair damaged tissues, promote healing, and regenerate cells. Microcurrent therapy is also known as bioelectric therapy or biofeedback therapy.
Micro can be used for wound healing, tendon repair, diabetic neuropathy, macular degeneration, plantar fasciitis, and ruptured ligament recovery.
Operation
To use the Combo Stimulator IF-5000, follow these steps:
Connect the device to a power source, either a 9V battery or an AC adapter.
Connect the electrode wires to the device and to the electrodes.
Apply the electrodes to the skin according to the instructions for each mode and program. Make sure the skin is clean and dry, and the electrodes are firmly attached.
Turn on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button. The device will beep and display the mode, intensity, timer, and battery status on the screen.
Select the mode by pressing the MODE button. You can choose from TENS, EMS, IF, or Micro. The device will beep and show the mode name on the screen.
Select the program by pressing the P button. You can choose from 14 preset programs that are suitable for different conditions and body parts. The device will beep and show the program number on the screen.
Adjust the intensity by pressing the CH1+ or CH1- buttons for channel 1, and CH2+ or CH2- buttons for channel 2. You can adjust the intensity level from 0 to 100 mA for each channel. The device will beep and show the intensity level on the screen.
Adjust the timer by pressing the T button. You can set the treatment duration from 1 to 60 minutes, or use the continuous mode for unlimited time. The device will beep and show the timer setting on the screen.
Start the treatment by pressing the START/STOP button. The device will beep and show a flashing arrow on the screen.
Enjoy the treatment and relax. You can change the mode, program, intensity, or timer during the treatment by pressing the corresponding buttons.
Stop the treatment by pressing the START/STOP button again. The device will beep and stop showing the flashing arrow on the screen.
Turn off the device by pressing the ON/OFF button. The device will beep and turn off.
Remove the electrodes from the skin and disconnect them from the device. Store them in a cool and dry place.
