Electro Acupressure Device - Pointer Excel II
Hand Held T.E.N.S. and Point Detector with Digital Display

Pointer Excel II

The Pointer Excel II is a new user-friendly hand-held device with digital display for location of acupuncture or trigger points. It incorporates an effective push button stimulation feature for immediate electroacupuncture treatment of the point or area immediately following its detection.

The digital display helps the user to locate the most accurate acupuncture or trigger point easily, as the number increases with the lowering of the electric resistance of the skin (when a maximum number is reached, an acupuncture point is detected and electroacupuressure may begin). Self-treatment for electroacupuncture has never been so easy!

This new model has additional features, such as adjustable frequency from 1 - 16 Hz, and polarity reversal switch (for tonification or sedation). It is one of the most innovative hand-held stimulators available in the market.

1. The Digital Display chamber is located on the rear to side of the unit. The device features a digital display to show the working frequency (from 1 to 16 Hz) of stimulation during acupuncture treatment when pushing down the stimulation button, and a numerical display (maximum around 500 when sensitivity is adjust to the highest range) to show the sensitivity of detection during the location of acupuncture points. When used in Acupuncture or trigger point detection, the digital display will show the location of the acupuncture point in numerical form. During acupuncture location, the highest numerical value refers to the nearest site of acupuncture point. The green indication LED will remain lit when the acupuncture point is located.
2. The Polarity switch easily allows the output stimulation's polarity to be reversed from + (for tonification) to - (sedation) or vice-versa during acupuncture treatment. In doing this, the output intensity should be turned down first in order to avoid a sudden increase in intensity.
3. Acupuncture treatment through the probe may be used for the immediate treatment of the point or area right after its detection to the patient, by simply pushing down the stimulation/detection button on top of the unit. Immediate Point Location and Treatment: the button on the top of the unit may be pressed to activate the stimulation mode. A continuous electric pulse of 1 to 16 Hz (adjustable by turning the frequency dial) is emitted through the probe, the intensity may also be adjusted from 0 to 22mA. The intensity is controlled with the intensity knob labeled INT. Micro current intensity is emitted when the switch is in the blue zone. When treating with micro current intensity, there will be very little or no feeling of stimulation achieved even the probe is located at the trigger or acupuncture points.
4. Modern Spring Type Probe Tip
   This new improved interchangeable spring type probe provides a more constant and comfortable acupressure to the area or points, thus providing better accuracy during point location searching. It is important to note that any part of the body may be induced to produce a point location signal depending on the amount of pressure used during location. Thus, it is important when locating the trigger points to use the least amount of pressure possible on the surface of the skin. Also, the movement of the probe when searching for the point should be smooth and graceful, always maintaining the same light uniform constant pressure until the correct point is found. The unique spring mechanism of the Pointer probe will add in correction for any slight variations in the applied pressure.
5. Interchangeable Probes
   Two different probes (2mm and 4 mm diameter) are provided for different applications. The smaller probe is more suitable for ear points, and the wider probe is better for the body.
6. Sensitivity Adjustment
   The point detection sensitivity is adjustable. The SEN knob is used to either increase (clockwise adjustment) or decrease (counter clockwise) sensitivity when used on different skin conditions (i.e. dry or moist skin). The level of sensitivity can be read from the Digital Display Chamber.
7. Hand Grounding Pole Accessory
   The patient must hold the hand grounding pole in order to create a complete electrical circuit. This accessory is easily attached or removed from the unit. (Note: this unit may also be used without the grounding pole, however, in this case the practitioner must contact both the grounding plate(e) on the unit as well as hold the bare skin of the patient with his hand to complete the circuit.) The grounding pole is not necessary when using on oneself providing the grounding plate(s) on the unit is contacted.
8. Frequency adjustment dial, to adjust the frequency of stimulation from 1 to 16 Hz. The frequency selected can be read from the display chamber when pressing down the push type button on the front top of the unit.
9. Two ground plates, one located at the front left hand side, and the other one underneath the unit, to allow the user (or left handed user) to hold the unit and touch the ground plate(s) easily in closing the circuit for point detection or stimulation.

1. Insert the 9 volt battery onto the battery clips, the positive and negative poles of the battery should always be matched correctly with the respective battery clips. A 9 volt Duracell or other alkaline battery is recommended for the best performance.
2. Two different probes are provided for different applications. The larger probe may be used for larger areas or body points while the small probe may be used for ear points or other smaller body points.
3. For self-use, touch the grounding metal plate(s) on the front side or underneath the unit and then search for the point.
4. Press each point slightly; the probe uses a spring mechanism so that a constant pressure may be maintained during location. The trigger point is located when a continuous sound is heard from the buzzer and at the same time the LED light located in front of the Loc/Stim button is flashing continuously.
5. If stimulation is required on this point, simply adjust the intensity knob INT to an acceptable level and press the loc/Stim button. When this button is released, the unit is immediately returned to the point detection mode. Pressing the Loc/Stim button again will produce output stimulation. The intensity is controlled with the intensity knob labeled INT. Turn the switch clockwise to increase the output intensity. Micro current intensity is emitted when the switch is in the blue zone. When treating with micro current intensity, there will be very little or no feeling of stimulation achieved, even if the probe is located at the trigger or acupuncture points.
6. It is recommended to begin treatment with a low intensity setting, thereafter turning the INT control until a comfortable intensity is reached.
7. In order to treat patients, the grounding pole must be attached with the plug jack to the bottom of the unit. The patient must hold the grounding pole to complete the electrical circuit which then activates the detection and stimulation functions.
8. This device is equipped with a Polarity switch. If a positive (+ for tonification) or negative (- for sedation) pulse stimulation is required, simply set the switch to + or -position.
9. The Digital Display chamber is located on the rear top side of the unit, it features a digital display to show the frequency (from 1 to 16Hz) of stimulation during operation, and numerical display (maximum around 500 when sensitivity adjustment to highest range) to show the sensitivity of detection during the location of acupuncture points.
10. Turn off the unit after use. Remove the battery from the unit when the device will not be used for a long period of time.
