Getting To Know Your Device; Intended Use; Safety Notes - Beurer Vital Legs FM 250 Mode D'emploi

1. Getting to know your device

The beurer EMS circulation stimulator Vital Legs is an electrostimulation device. The EMS
circulation stimulator causes electrical stimulation of the muscle tissue (EMS) in the foot and
lower leg area.
The EMS circulation stimulator has been specifically developed for the following purposes:
• Reduce swollen feet and ankles
• Alleviate tired and aching legs
• Improve blood circulation
How does electrostimulation work?
The principle of electrostimulation devices is based on the imitation of impulses in our bodies
that are transferred to nerve and muscle fibres with electrodes via our skin. The electrical
impulses are safe and virtually painless. You may merely notice a slight tingling or vibrating
sensation. The electrical impulses that are sent into the tissue influence the transmission of
stimulation into nerves, nerve centres and muscle groups in the application area.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generally recognised method, and
has been used in sports and rehabilitation medicine for years.
