How does EmeTerm works
1. EmeTerm attached to the wrist via electrode pads, delivers signal through the median nerve at the location on the underside of the wrist.
2. These signals travel through the body's nervous system to the part of the brain which contros nausea, which causes the stomachto contrast irregularly, resulting in vomiting.
3. By releasing a low-frequency pulse, it can adjust the vagus nerve signal straveling to and from the stomach, and can prevent or postpone the brain from transmitting nausea signals to the stomach, then reduces the nauseous sensationfor the users.
Tips for effective use
1. EmeTerm generate electrical impulses very gradually. During the first two minutes, either nothing is felt or a slight tingling sensation under the electrode. A lack of sensation for one or two minutes does not mean that the device is not working. It simply means that the impulses produced are below the stimulation threshold of the nerve fibers.
2. It is essential to cleanse and degrease the skin and electrodes thoroughly before the treatment to ensure a good quality skin-electrode interface. Use water or wet paper towel to cleanse and degrease the wrist skin. Pay special attention to the whole of the area where the electrodes will be placed. The step is essential to ensure that the electrodes grips and that the session is effective.
3. It is helpful to press the device to ensure electrode gripe the skin tightly and efficiently.
4. Under low temperature and low moisture climate (e. g. winter), it is recommended to start the treatment at least 10 minutes before experiencing nausea.
5. It is recommended to change to the other wrist after 30 minutes using for the users who are used in a humid environment or have allergic skin.
Adverse reactions
For some people, skin irritation (red or itchy skin, red bumps or small blisters) may occur beneath or around the electrodes on the back of the EmeTerm. If skin irritation occurs beneath or around the electrode sites, move the device to the other wrist. If irritation does not disappear within 24 hours, stop using the device and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
