Indications for Use

Indicated for (A) Interferential current stimulation, Premodulated Bipolar Mode and Faradic Stimulation Mode is indicated for: 1. Symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long term) intractable pain. 2. Adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic, acute pain conditions. (B) Electrical Muscle Stimulation (Russian and Galvanic-Interrupted) is indicated for: 1. Relaxation of Muscle spasm. 2. Prevention or Retardation of disuse atrophy. 3. Increasing local blood circulation. 4. Muscle re-education. 5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis. 6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion. (C) Galvanic-DC Continuous mode is indicated for: 1. Relaxation of muscle spasm.

Device Story

Analgesic Pulser AP-439 is an electrical nerve and muscle stimulator used in clinical settings by physicians and therapists. The device delivers various electrical waveforms—including interferential, premodulated, Faradic, Russian, and galvanic (continuous/interrupted)—to the patient via electrodes. These waveforms stimulate nerves and muscles to manage pain, reduce spasms, prevent atrophy, and improve circulation. The clinician selects the mode, amplitude, and frequency based on the therapeutic goal. The device operates on 110V AC power and features four channels with synchronous output. By applying controlled electrical pulses, the device facilitates muscle re-education and post-surgical recovery, providing a non-pharmacological option for pain management and physical rehabilitation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance was verified through technical specifications including output current, voltage, waveform characteristics, and current density measurements on 500-ohm loads.

Technological Characteristics

Electrical nerve/muscle stimulator; 110V AC power source; 4 channels; 2 outputs. Waveforms: Monophasic, Biphasic, Sinewave, DC. Output modes: Interferential, Premodulated, Faradic, Russian, Galvanic (continuous/interrupted). Channel isolation conforms to ANSI 3.2.3.2 (1985). Dimensions: 12.2" x 3.5" x 7.5"; Weight: 5.5 lbs. Connectivity: Standalone. Sterilization: Not applicable (device is electronic equipment).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, acute post-surgical or post-traumatic pain, muscle spasm relaxation, prevention of disuse atrophy, increased local blood circulation, muscle re-education, prevention of post-surgical venous thrombosis, and maintenance/increase of range of motion.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief is a device used to apply an electrical current to electrodes on a patient's skin to treat pain.
