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 eect,
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 eectively 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.

decrease the intensity. Press and hold for 1.5 seconds
to turn the device o.
2. Intensity Up Button – Once the device has been
turned on, press this button to increase the intensity.
3. Therapy Intensity Level Indicator – 10 levels indicated
by blue illuminated LEDs.
4. Battery/Charging Indicator – four blue illuminated LED
segments indicate charge level. A single ashing red
segment indicates 15% or less battery life remaining.
5. Therapy On Indicator – pulsing blue LEDs indicate the
device is delivering therapy.
6. Hypoallergenic Contacts – 316L Stainless Steel,
therapy is delivered here.
7. Charging Port – attach the magnetic charging cable
here to recharge the device.
8. Latch – locks the Simple Band (11) tight to hold the
device in position.
