4 INDICATIONS FOR USE
ELECTROTHERAPY INDICATIONS
INDICATIONS
For VMS (Pulsed Mode, Burst Mode, or FR Mode), Russian,
Monophasic Hi-Volt (NMES) & Interferential, and Premodulated
(IFS):
• Relaxation of muscle spasms
• Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
• Increasing local blood circulation
• Muscle re-education
• Maintaining or increasing range of motion
• Immediate postsurgical stimulation of calf muscles to
prevent venous thrombosis
Additionally for Microcurrent, Interferential, Premodulated (IFS),
VMS (Pulsed Mode, Burst Mode, or FR Mode), Asymmetrical
Biphasic (TENS), and HANS:
Symptomatic relief or management of chronic, intractable pain
• Post-traumatic acute pain
• Post-surgical acute pain
For DC (Direct Current) Continuous Mode:
• Relaxation of muscle spasms
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The Intelect® Legend 2 should NOT be used under the following
conditions:
• Do not use for symptomatic local pain relief unless
etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome has
been diagnosed
• Do not use when cancerous lesions are present in the
treatment area
• Do not apply stimulation over swollen,
infected, inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e g ,
phlebitis,thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc)
• Do not use when patient is suspected or known to
have infectious disease and/or disease where it is
advisable, for general medical purposes, to suppress
heat or fevers
• Do not place electrode placements to the carotid
sinus region (anterior neck) or transcerebrally
(through the head)
• Do not use on pregnant women, safety has not been
established for the use of therapeutic electrical
stimulation during pregnancy
• Do not use powered muscle stimulators or TENS
waveforms on patients with cardiac demand
pacemakers
• There should not be any use of TENS waveforms on
patients with cardiac demand pacemakers
• Do not use device on patients who have or have
had implantable neurostimulating cardiac demand
pacemakers, ICD, or other implantable electronic
devices
• Do not use device on patients with body worn electro
mechanical medical devices, i.e. insulin pump
• Do not use this system in an MRI or CT environment.

Device, its components, and accessories are not to
be present in an MRI or CT environment
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Use caution for patients with suspected or
diagnosed heart problems
• Use caution for patients with suspected or
diagnosed epilepsy
• Use caution in the presence of the following:
» When there is a tendency to
hemorrhage following acute trauma or
fracture
» Following recent surgical procedures
when muscle contraction may disrupt
the healing process
» Over a menstruating or pregnant uterus
» Over areas of the skin that lack normal
sensation
• Some patients may experience skin irritation or
hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation
or
electrical conductive medium. The irritation
can usually be reduced by using an alternative
conductive medium or an alternative electrode
placement
• Electrode placement and stimulation settings
should be based on the guidance of the
prescribing practitioner
• Powered muscle stimulators should be used only
with the lead wires and electrodes recommended
for use by the manufacturer
• With TENS waveforms, isolated cases of skin
irritation may occur at the site of electrode
placement following long-term application
• The effective management of pain by TENS
waveforms is highly dependent upon patient
selection by a person qualified in pain
management
