The BodyMed ZZACOMBOBDPT1 is a dual-channel output electrotherapy device that combines TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), and MASSAGE functions. It is designed for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic pain, post-surgical pain, relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, muscle re-education, immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, and maintaining or increasing range of motion.

Function Description:
The COMBO stimulator features 22 programs in total: 10 TENS programs, 9 EMS programs, and 3 MASSAGE programs. It applies electric currents in the low-frequency range for therapy. Each program controls the generated electric impulses, their intensity, frequency, and pulse width. The dual channel allows for independent adjustment and application to two different body parts simultaneously using four pieces of electrodes. The electrical pulse stimulates nerves and muscle tissues.
Usage Features:
The device is operated via several buttons:
- [ON/OFF/M] button: Powers the device on/off, selects treatment mode (TENS, MASSAGE, EMS), and stops treatment.
- [S] button: Enters the setting mode to adjust pulse rate, pulse width, and treatment time.
- [+] button: Increases intensity for Channel A, Channel B, or both.
- [B] button: Selects the treatment body part and activates/deactivates the key lock function.
- [CH] button: Selects the treatment channel.
- [-] button: Decreases intensity for Channel A, Channel B, or both.
The LCD display shows the selected treatment mode, key locking symbol, treatment body part, human body model, intensity for Channel A and B, low battery symbol, timer symbol, program symbol, massage type, SET symbol, pulse rate and width symbol, symbol of Channel A and B, and indicator flag of Channel selection.
The device includes a load detection feature that automatically reduces intensity to level 0 and flashes 'A' or 'B' symbols if the load is not detected or electrode contact is insufficient. A low battery icon twinkles when the battery is low, prompting the user to change batteries.
The device is for single patient use only and should be used under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner. It is contraindicated for individuals with cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or other implanted metallic or electronic devices. It should not be used over cancerous lesions, swollen, infected, inflamed areas, skin eruptions, open wounds, rashes, or near the carotid sinus nerves, neck, mouth, chest, eyes, or genitals. Stimulation should not occur while connected to high-frequency surgical equipment, in environments with high humidity, near heat, or while sleeping or driving. Electrode placement should avoid the front of the thorax. Users should consult a doctor if in doubt or if adverse reactions occur.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Electrodes should be pulled out, and the device cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used for heavier dirt. The device should not be exposed to moisture, dampness, or submerged in water. It is sensitive to heat and direct sunlight. Electrode pads should be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when the device is off. Chemical or abrasive cleaners should not be used.
- Electrode Care: Electrodes should be replaced when their adhesiveness is lost (typically after about 20 uses). They should be applied to clean, dry, and unbroken skin. Electrodes should be kept separate during treatment to avoid improper stimulation or skin burns. The validity period on electrode packaging (1 year) should be checked.
- Battery Care: Batteries should be inserted correctly according to polarity markings. Spent batteries must be disposed of according to current regulations. Batteries should be removed if the device is not used for a long period to prevent damage from leakage.
- General Maintenance: The manufacturer does not authorize maintenance by unauthorized agencies. Users should not attempt repairs. Opening the equipment by unauthorized agencies voids the warranty. The device does not require calibration or validation in normal use.
Disposal:
Spent batteries and the device itself should not be disposed of with household waste. Batteries should be returned to a Recycle Bin. The device should be brought to a collection point for the recycling of electronic equipment to prevent harmful effects on the environment.
