Brief Overview
The Medical Products Online (MPO 4000) Professional 13 Mode DIGITAL T.E.N.S. is a battery operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses via electrodes/pads to the body and reaches the nerves that causing pain. Once located blocks the pain signal, and increasing endorphins throughout body.
The MPO 4000 creates an electrical impulse to configure manually the Intensity, Duration, Number per second, Timer and Modulation. The Nine preset (P Mode) programs are available for option as well. Press buttons are very easy to use and the large liquid crystal display showing the exact mode and values of parameters are very convenient for patients.

PARAMETER CONTROLS
PULSE DURATION
Wider pulse duration settings will deliver stronger stimulation for any given intensity setting. As mentioned in the Controls section, by using a combination of intensity and pulse duration, it is felt that various pulse widths are capable of stimulating different groups of nerve fibers.
The wider pulse duration is needed to recruit motor fibers, whereas the narrow pulse duration is used on the more sensory fibers.
The choice of which pulse duration to use is partially dependent upon the Treatment Mode and Protocol selected (refer to the appropriate section).
PULSE RATE
The Pulse Rate (hertz or pulses per second) chosen depends greatly upon the type of electrode placement given to the patient.
When using contiguous and dermatome electrode placements (i.e. stimulating directly through the area of pain or localized enervation), a quick pulse rate (setting greater than 80Hz on the Pulse Rate Control) is desired. The patient should not perceive individual pulses but rather have the sensation of steady continuous stimulation.
When using point treatments, it has been suggested that slow pulses be utilized (less than 10Hz). With this setting the patient should be able to slightly perceive individual pulses.
When using multiple electrode placement strategies, such as combinations of point and contiguous electrode placements, the quicker pulse rates are suggested.
Despite above recommendations, these individual patients may require slight variations of the above settings, according to the nature of their condition.
TREATMENT MODE
Normal or Conventional TENS offers the practitioners complete control over all the various treatment parameters of the instrument.
Burst Mode is analogous to the Low Rate TENS technique except the low frequency individual pulses are replaced by individual “bursts” of 7-10 individual pulses. It is thus a combination of Conventional TENS and Low Rate TENS. In Burst Mode, the treatment frequency is adjustable at the range between 0.5Hz – 5Hz.
Modulated Mode attempts to prevent nerve accommodation by continuously cycling the treatment intensity. When using Modulated Mode increase the intensity only when the unit is at the maximum intensity of the modulation cycle. If the intensity is increased during a low intensity period of the cycle, the patient may turn up the control very slowly, so that they may feel the intensity any higher.
INTENSITY
Each patient responds differently to different levels of intensity, due to varying degrees of tissue resistance, enervation, skin thickness, etc. Intensity instructions are therefore limited to the following settings:
Perception – The intensity is increased so that the patient can feel the stimulation, but there is not any muscular contraction.
Slight Contraction – Intensity is increased to a barely visible muscular contraction that is not strong enough to move a joint. When using low pulse rate settings, this will show as individual twitches. At higher pulse rates there will simply be increased muscle tension.
Strong muscular contraction is typically not used in TENS therapy. However, muscular contraction may be useful if the pain involves a cramped or spastic muscle. The TENS can be used as a traditional muscle stimulator in the circumstances to quickly break the spasm. Use a quick pulse rate, wide pulse duration and set the intensity to visible contraction (still within patient tolerance). Twenty or thirty minutes of such a tetanised muscular contraction will generally break the spasm. In all cases, if the patient complains that the stimulation is uncomfortable, reduce intensity and/or cease stimulation.
TIME DURATION
The onset of pain relief should occur shortly after the intensity setting has been determined. However, in some cases, pain relief may take as long as 30 minutes to achieve, especially when using point electrode placements and slow pulse rates.
TENS units are typically operated for long periods of time, with a minimum of 20 – 30 minutes and in some post-operation protocols, as long as 36 hours.
In general, pain relief will diminish within 30 minutes of the cessation of stimulation. Pain relief obtained through point electrode placements may last longer (perhaps because of the presence of endorphins).
OVERVIEW Of The P Mode:
When “P” mode is selected, nine pre-set programs are available. Press the button to select a mode you desire. The pulse rate, pulse width, stimulation mode and timer are not adjustable when the P mode is in use.
Press any “Increase” or “Decrease” button to select a program you need. The treatment time of a program is visible on the liquid crystal display.

HOW TENS WORKS
There is nothing “magic” about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS is intended to be used to relieve pain. The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patient, mode selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients, the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In others, pain is only modified while stimulation actually occurs. You may discuss this with your physician or therapist.

I can’t say enough about this TENS machine. For the money,it is a super bargain to help take away that unwanted pain. I use it mostly for my back and knees.
