Frequently asked questions
Does the device allow for precise amplitude adjustments?
Yes, the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit allows for precise adjustment of the pulse amplitude. You can control the intensity from 0 to 80 mA, enabling customized treatment for both pain relief and muscle stimulation.
Does it allow precision control over pulse settings?
Yes, the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit offers precision control over the electrotherapy parameters, allowing you to tailor the treatment exactly to your needs.
You can fully control both the pulse width and frequency within these extensive ranges:
- Pulse Width: 0 - 250 µs
- Pulse Frequency: 0 - 150 Hz
Does it offer dual TENS/NMES functionality?
Yes, the Chattanooga Primera is a versatile dual-function electrotherapy device, combining two essential treatment types in one portable unit:
- TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Used for acute pain control and pain management. The unit includes 8 TENS programs.
- NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation): Used for muscle stimulation and rehabilitation. The unit includes 6 NMES programs.
Does the kit include accessories?
Yes, the comprehensive kit includes several essential accessories:
- Dura-Stick electrodes
- Back-support garment belt
- Disposable 9V battery
- Two lead wires
- User’s manual
- Carrying case
How many therapy programs are there?
The device features a total of 14 programs:
- 8 TENS programs for pain management
- 6 NMES programs for muscle stimulation
Does it use an advanced waveform?
Yes, this device features the proprietary HAN TENS Waveform, which is a key differentiator. This advanced waveform is specifically an asymmetrical, rectangular bi-phasic type, designed to deliver effective treatment while maintaining zero DC current.
Does the unit have a high-contrast display?
Yes, the Chattanooga Primera features a clear, high-contrast 5” (13 cm) FSTN LCD monochromatic display. This screen ensures excellent readability of treatment parameters (like frequency and amplitude) for both clinical and home use.
Is there an open electrode safety?
Yes, the device has an Open Electrode Detect feature. If an open circuit is detected (like an electrode coming loose), the output resets to zero.
Is this suitable for post-surgical pain management?
Yes, the Chattanooga Primera is specifically engineered for professional-grade performance in managing acute and post-surgical pain. Its versatility makes it an excellent tool for:
- Home Recovery: A reliable choice for rehabilitation following physical therapy.
- Non-Invasive Relief: Provides targeted TENS therapy to help manage pain without medication.
- Muscle Stimulation: Includes NMES programs to assist with nerve-related conditions during your recovery journey.
Is the device compact and portable?
Yes, the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit is designed for maximum portability, making it ideal for use in both clinical and home settings.
Key features that highlight its portability include:
- Compact Dimensions: The device measures just 108 mm x 62 mm x 26 mm (without the clip), ensuring it is small and easy to handle.
- Lightweight: The device itself weighs only 0.2 lb (0.09 kg), making it exceptionally light.
- Convenient Carrying Case: The kit includes a dedicated carrying case for easy transport and protection.
- Back-Support Garment Belt: A back-support garment belt is provided to help secure the unit comfortably during use.
My physical therapist had been using NMES unit for my right foot dropas a result of my knee replacement. Because of an auto wreck, I had several pins inthat had to be altered so my surgery could proceed. As a result the nerve to my foot was traumatized. The NMES unit used at PT had helped alot. Since Medicare limits PT, my therapist helped me get the NMES KIT and I'm happy to say I'm getting all control of my foot back.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit! We're thrilled to hear that our product has been helping you regain control of your foot after your surgery. We're always happy to support our customers in their recovery journey. Thank you for choosing our product and for your kind words. Wishing you continued progress and success!
Depends on timing of the turn-on operation to control. Not great.
Thanks for the feedback! We're sorry to hear that the Primera TENS / NMES kit was not as great as you had hoped.
How to stimulate fringers
Hello Tracy,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Regarding your question about how to stimulate fingers using the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit (MPN: 77615), we recommend consulting the manufacturer directly for the most accurate electrode placement and application guidance.
As this is a specialized application, the manufacturer’s clinical experts can provide the best instructions to ensure safe and effective use. You can reach the manufacturer, DJO Global, at their support phone number: (800) 494-3395.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
What is the contraction time range? What is the relaxation time range?
Hello JT,
Thank you for your inquiry.
We checked the technical information we have on file for the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit. Our documentation lists the waveform, pulse amplitude (0 - 80 mA), pulse width (0 - 250 µs), and pulse frequency (0 - 150 Hz), but it does not specify the exact contraction time range or relaxation time range for the NMES programs. We do not want to provide you with incorrect values.
We are reviewing this specification with the manufacturer so we can confirm the precise contraction and relaxation time ranges for you. As soon as we have that information, we will follow up.
If you would like to contact the manufacturer directly for technical parameters, their support line is (800) 494-3395.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Using nmes can’t get ma to go higher than 27
Hello Tom,
Thank you for your inquiry.
The Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit is designed to deliver a pulse amplitude of up to 80 mA. If you are unable to increase the mA above 27 in NMES mode, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Ensure you are using a fresh, fully charged 9V battery, as low battery power can limit output.
Check that the Dura-Stick electrodes are making full contact with clean, dry skin and are properly placed according to the user manual.
Make sure the lead wires are securely connected to both the device and the electrodes.
Try different NMES programs to see if the limitation occurs across all settings.
Confirm there are no open circuit warnings or error messages on the device display, as the unit will reset output to zero if an open circuit is detected.
If you have tried these steps and are still experiencing the same issue, could you please let me know:
If the limitation occurs with all NMES programs
If you are using new electrodes and a fresh battery
If there are any error messages on the screen
This information will help us assist you further.
Looking forward to your response.
