CareTec II TENS & EMS Combo Electrical Stimulator
CareTec II TENS & EMS Combo Electrical Stimulator
The CareTec II TENS and EMS Combo Electrical Stimulator is a compact, portable electrotherapy unit that combines Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) in a single digital device. Designed for prescribed professional and home-use electrotherapy programs, the CareTec II features two isolated stimulation channels, multiple TENS and EMS modes, adjustable stimulation settings, and both battery and AC-adapter power options.
With four TENS modes and three EMS modes, the CareTec II offers multiple stimulation patterns for use with different prescribed treatment protocols. Its dual-channel configuration provides flexibility for treating multiple areas, while dedicated channel controls allow stimulation intensity to be adjusted independently. Measuring only 4.5 x 2.55 x 0.9 inches and weighing 0.28 lb with the battery, the CareTec II is designed for convenient transportation and storage.

- HCPCS code A4595 is listed for electrotherapy supplies.
Dual-Channel TENS and EMS Electrotherapy
The CareTec II combines TENS and EMS stimulation in a single digital electrotherapy unit. The two channels are isolated from one another, providing flexibility when the prescribed treatment requires stimulation at multiple treatment sites.
Each channel has its own controls, allowing stimulation intensity to be adjusted independently. This makes it possible to configure the two channels according to the requirements of the prescribed treatment program.
Four TENS Treatment Modes
The CareTec II provides four selectable TENS modes:
- Burst
- Normal
- Pulse Width Modulation
- Pulse Rate Modulation
These modes provide different stimulation patterns and allow the TENS function to be configured according to the prescribed treatment parameters.
TENS Specifications
The TENS function uses a monophasic square pulse waveform and provides the following adjustable parameters:
| TENS Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Waveform | Monophasic square |
| Pulse Amplitude | 0–100 mA peak at 1,000 ohm load per channel |
| Pulse Width | 50–300 microseconds |
| Pulse Width Adjustment | 10 microsecond increments |
| Pulse Rate | 1–150 Hz |
| Pulse Rate Adjustment | 1 Hz increments |
| Treatment Modes | Burst, Normal, Pulse Width Modulation, Pulse Rate Modulation |
The manufacturer identifies the CareTec II as having a 105 mA maximum output capability, while the detailed technical specifications identify an adjustable pulse amplitude range of 0–100 mA peak at a 1,000 ohm load per channel.
Three EMS Treatment Modes
For electrical muscle stimulation, the CareTec II offers three operating modes:
- Synchronous
- Asynchronous
- Delay
The EMS function allows users to configure stimulation parameters including pulse rate, pulse width, contraction time, relaxation time, and ramp time within the device's documented ranges.
EMS Specifications
| EMS Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Waveform | Monophasic square |
| Pulse Amplitude | 0–100 mA peak at 1,000 ohm load per channel |
| Pulse Width | 50–300 microseconds |
| Pulse Width Adjustment | 10 microsecond increments |
| Pulse Rate | 1–150 Hz |
| Pulse Rate Adjustment | 1 Hz increments |
| Contraction Time | 1–30 seconds |
| Relaxation Time | 0–60 seconds |
| Ramp Time | 1–6 seconds |
| Treatment Modes | Synchronous, Asynchronous, Delay |
These adjustable parameters allow EMS stimulation timing and cycling to be configured to the requirements of the prescribed treatment protocol.
Adjustable Treatment Timer
The CareTec II features a programmable treatment timer that can be set from 1 to 60 minutes or configured for continuous operation. Treatment duration can be adjusted in one-minute increments, with an automatic countdown during timed treatments.
This built-in timer allows treatment duration to be set directly on the device rather than requiring a separate external timer.
Compact Portable Electrotherapy Design
Measuring 4.5 x 2.55 x 0.9 inches and weighing only 0.28 lb with the battery installed, the CareTec II is designed for portable electrotherapy use and convenient storage.
The unit can be powered by a standard 9-volt battery or the included AC adapter. This provides flexibility for portable use as well as operation from an available AC power source.
