Device Description

The Avail device is a wireless, independent dual channel wearable electrotherapy device that is designed to alleviate chronic muscle and joint pain on multiple body locations. It delivers TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) technology and microcurrent therapy through the simple, convenient use of the dedicated Omron TENS iOS or Android App. Reusable, self-adhesive, contouring pads allow for discreet and convenient placement on multiple pain locations on the body. The Avail system can be programmed to deliver nine different TENS modes and a microcurrent therapy mode.

The system contains two main TENS units which are rechargeable and each can be attached to either a medium or large size gel pad. The pad with attached TENS unit can then be applied to intact skin at the desired location for therapy and pain relief. Control of the Avail TENS system is completed through the available Omron TENS App. The Avail will be packaged with an Instruction Manual which provides details on setting up the device for use, installing of the Omron TENS App, setting and controlling therapy modes, and troubleshooting. The system includes two main TENS units, medium and large pads, an AC-powered charger, AC adapter, a pad holder and storage case.
