DESCRIPTION OF THE
2.0
:
Reliefband® 2.0 is a rechargeable, digital treatable
device that is worn on the wrist. It consists of
a hypoallergenic band with a control panel on
top and two electrical contacts underneath.
The two contacts must be placed rmly against
the underside of your wrist at the P6 location. It
provides relief from nausea, retching, and vomiting
due to motion sickness, chemotherapy and
morning sickness associated with pregnancy and
postoperative nausea. A fully charged battery will
last for approximately 18 hours of continuous use at
the mid-power level or below.
1
Reliefband® 2.0 delivers proprietary
pulses from the contacts on the
Smart Band that signal the median
nerve at the P6 location on the
underside of the wrist.
2
These signals travel through
the body’s nervous system to
the part of the brain which
controls nausea, retching
and vomiting.
3
The signals have a
rebalancing eect,
normalizing nerve
messages from the brain
to the stomach and
reducing symptoms of
nausea, retching and
vomiting.
Nausea, retching, and vomiting are probably some of
the worst sensations you can feel – the combination
of dizziness, lightheadedness, heightened sensitivity
to smells, bloated abdominal discomfort, retching and
the ultimate involuntary evacuation of the stomach.
Drug-free, Reliefband® 2.0 uses clinically-proven
technology to quickly and eectively relieve nausea,
retching, and vomiting. Reliefband® 2.0 is the result of
many years of clinical research and development and
millions of dollars of investment. It is the rst of a new
class of Digital Wearable Technologies.
– it’s a Wearable that does something other than
measure things
- a “Digital Wearable Treatable”
Reliefband® 2.0 uses patented technology that
leverages the body’s natural neural pathways to
block signals to the center in the brain responsible
for the sensation of nausea. It has been used to treat
nausea, retching and vomiting in clinical settings and
hospitals for many years. Now it is available over-the-
counter for the relief of nausea associated with motion
sickness from travel, vertigo, VR/Sim, chemotherapy
and for morning sickness associated with pregnancy.
Reliefband is also an adjunct to antiemetic therapy in
reducing postoperative nausea.
CAUTION
Pacemaker users - Use this device on the
wrist and only as directed to prevent possible
interference with your pacemaker. Avoid placing
the electrical contacts directly on your chest or
near the pacemaker. Consult your doctor before
using device.
Nausea, retching and vomiting may be signs of a
serious health problem. Contact a doctor if your
nausea, retching and vomiting persists.
Reliefband® 2.0 should only be used on the wrist.
Do not use it on any other area of the body.
Reliefband® 2.0 does not cure the underlying
causes of nausea, retching and vomiting.
The relief you get may vary depending on
your body’s individual characteristics, and any
medications that you may be taking could cause
your body to respond dierently.
Reliefband® 2.0 should be kept out of reach of
young children.

c. 3 LED segments = 51% - 75% charged
d. 4 LED segments = 76% - 100% charged
5. Full charge is indicated when all four blue LED
segments remain constantly illuminated. Typically,
