Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
- Dual channel with individually isolated circuits.
- Type: Constant Current.
- Low Battery Indicator: Activates when battery falls below 6.9 volts +/- 0.2 volts, flashing once every second.
- Programs: 8 TENS and 6 NMES programs available.
- HAN TENS Waveform: Unique feature of the PRIMERA device.
- Proven circuit with over 10 years of reliable performance.
- Package includes: PRIMERA Unit, Carrying Case, Battery, Leadwires, Dura-Stick Electrodes, Back Support Belt, and User’s Manual.
- Warranty: Two years.

Waveform and Detection
- Waveform: Asymmetrical, rectangular bi-phasic with zero DC current.
- Open Electrode Detect: Resets output current to zero if an open circuit is detected.
- TENS and NMES Amplitude: 0 - 80 mA.

Historical Context and Research
- The HAN Waveform is based on extensive research into electro-acupuncture and pain management.
- Key historical milestones include the Gate Control Theory (1965) and the first high-frequency TENS devices (1970).
- Dr. Ji Sheng Han's research in the 1990s identified optimal parameters for pain and spasm reduction using Dense-and-Disperse (DD) modes of stimulation.
- These parameters involve alternating frequencies of 2 Hz with 15 or 70 Hz, each lasting for 3 seconds, to release opioid peptides for pain control.

Ordering Information
- Various components and accessories are available for order, including leadwire sets, electrode positioner belts, and Dura-Stick+ electrodes.
