CareTec II TENS & EMS Combo Electrical Stimulator

The CareTec II TENS and EMS Combo Electrical Stimulator is a compact, portable electrotherapy device that combines Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) in one easy-to-use digital unit. Designed for professional and home-use electrotherapy programs as prescribed, the CareTec II provides two isolated stimulation channels, multiple TENS and EMS treatment modes, adjustable stimulation parameters, and both battery and AC-adapter operation.

The CareTec II features four TENS modes and three EMS modes, allowing users to select different stimulation patterns according to the prescribed treatment program. Its dual-channel design allows treatment to be configured across multiple treatment sites, while independently controlled channel buttons provide adjustable intensity levels. The compact handheld design measures 4.5 x 2.55 x 0.9 inches and weighs just 0.28 lb with the battery installed.

Dual-Channel TENS and EMS Therapy

The CareTec II combines TENS and EMS therapy in one digital electrotherapy device. Its two channels are electrically isolated from one another, allowing the device to be configured for treatment across multiple treatment sites within the parameters of the prescribed treatment program.

The channel controls allow stimulation intensity to be adjusted independently, providing flexibility when different treatment sites require different intensity settings.

Four TENS Treatment Modes

The CareTec II provides four TENS modes:

• Burst
• Normal
• Pulse Width Modulation
• Pulse Rate Modulation

These selectable modes allow the device to deliver different TENS stimulation patterns. The TENS parameters can be adjusted within the device's documented operating ranges.

TENS Specifications

The CareTec II TENS function uses a monophasic square waveform with the following adjustable parameters:

The manufacturer identifies the CareTec II as having a maximum output capability of 105 mA, while the detailed technical specification lists adjustable pulse amplitude of 0–100 mA peak at a 1,000 ohm load per channel.

Three EMS Treatment Modes

The CareTec II also provides three EMS stimulation modes:

• Synchronous
• Asynchronous
• Delay

EMS parameters can be adjusted to configure stimulation frequency, pulse width, contraction time, relaxation time, and ramp time.

EMS Specifications

These adjustable EMS parameters provide control over the timing and pattern of electrical muscle stimulation according to the prescribed treatment protocol.

Adjustable Treatment Timer

The CareTec II includes an adjustable treatment timer ranging from 1 to 60 minutes, with an option for continuous operation. Treatment time can be adjusted in one-minute increments, and the device automatically counts down the selected treatment duration.

This allows the CareTec II to accommodate treatment protocols with different prescribed durations without requiring a separate external timer.

Portable Electrotherapy Design

The CareTec II is designed as a compact handheld electrotherapy device. It measures just 4.5 x 2.55 x 0.9 inches and weighs 0.28 lb with the battery installed, making it convenient for transport and storage.

The device can operate using either a standard 9-volt battery or the included AC adapter. This dual power configuration allows the CareTec II to be used as a portable electrotherapy unit or connected to AC power when available.

Complete TENS and EMS Kit

The CareTec II is supplied as a complete electrotherapy package. Standard accessories include:

• CareTec II electrical stimulator
• Two sets of lead wires
• Four self-adhesive reusable electrodes
• 9-volt battery
• AC adapter
• Instruction manual
• Carrying case

The included accessories allow the device to be configured for its intended TENS and EMS applications without requiring a separate initial purchase of basic lead wires, electrodes, battery, or carrying case.
