Intended Use
TENS stimulation is used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain. It is also used as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain. It has no curative value and should be used only in conjunction with medical supervision.
Device Story
CEFAR Primo is a handheld, battery-powered, two-channel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS). Device delivers electrical current through electrodes placed on patient's body to provide pain relief. User selects from nine preset stimulation programs via push buttons; LCD displays program information and current amplitude (0-60 mA). Device features include open circuit detection and software-controlled output. Operates using asymmetric biphasic, zero net DC pulses. Used in clinical or home settings under medical supervision. Output affects nerve stimulation to manage pain; provides symptomatic relief for chronic, post-surgical, or post-traumatic conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with IEC EN 60601-1 (general safety), IEC EN 60601-1-2 (EMC), and IEC EN 60601-2-10 (TENS safety) verified by SEMKO AB (ID 0413).
Technological Characteristics
Handheld, battery-powered (2x1.5V). Two-channel TENS. Output: Asymmetric biphasic, zero net DC. Amplitude: 0-60 mA. Pulse width: 70-180 µs. Frequency: 2-120 Hz. LCD display. Software-controlled output. Standards: IEC EN 60601-1, IEC EN 60601-1-2, IEC EN 60601-2-10.
Indications for Use
Indicated for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain, and as adjunctive treatment for post-surgical and post-traumatic pain. For use under medical supervision.
