Quick Start Guide
Learn how to setup the Stimpod and start treating your patients right away.
PRF Treatment Guide
Treatment with the NMS460 starts by locating the affected nerve. Through clinical evaluation, you can identify the nerve that is responsible for the symptoms, like chronic pain, nerve palsy etc.
Once the nerve is located, use your anatomical knowledge to
localize the most superficial aspects of the nerve.
Depending on the condition, you will either (A) treat a motor nerve or a sensory nerve within a combined sensory or motor nerve bundle, or (B) treat a pure sensory nerve.

1
Locate the nerve identified for stimulation
2
3
4
Set Pulse Width to 0.1ms
(Menu/Pulse Width Button)
5
Adjust the frequency to 2Hz
(Enter/Frequency Button)
6
Start/Stop stimulation
(Pause Button)
7
Apply conductive gel on the area to be stimulated
8
Connect the cable to the reference electrode
9
When the treatment probe does not make contact with the skin:
1. LED Flashes Red
2. “Open Circuit Detected”
is displayed
10
Apply the treatment probe to the treatment area
11
When treatment probe makes contact with the skin:
1. LED Flashes Green
2. Stimpod begins to ‘BEEP’
3. Average current is displayed
12
Use Adjustment Wheel to adjust the current to a level that is comfortable for the patient
13
Move the treatment probe around until a fasciculation is observed
(Not applicable for pure
sensory nerves)
14
Keep moving the treatment probe until a maximum fasciculation
is observed
15
Proceed to increase the current
intensity to the maximum level
the patient can tolerate
16
Keep the Treatment Probe on the
stimulation site for 5 to 10 minutes
17
Increase the current slightly when nerve accommodates to the stimulus
18
If you reach 30mA at 0.1ms, readjust Pulse Width to 0.2ms and turn current down to 15mA, then proceed to increase current again
