Question
Dear Sir.i use a tens unit. I am trying to find out if there is a carring pouch that I can ware around the waist or on my body. I ware my tens unit all day. Please help me. Thanks

Answer

Ms. Curry,

Unfortunately, we do not have any carry pouches for TENS units.  The only carrying accessory available is the carry case.  We may recommend a hip/belt cell phone or camera case as most TENS units are relatively similar in size.

Question
How would I determine if I need the 10, 11 or 12inch Lumbar Sacral Support and measure for size? Not sure whether to order the one with flexible plastic or metal stays.

Answer

The height of the Lumbar Sacral Support is generally based on your level of pain that you need relieved.  Essentially the taller the brace, the more support it can provide, the less pain you're in and more comfort.

As for metal or plastic stays, this is based on the type of support you need.

If you are a fairly mobile person who does much bending, you may need the flexible plastic stays as they allow more range-of-motion, however still provide the support needed.

The metal stays may not be quite as comfortable, but do aide in providing the utmost stabilization and support.

Question
What is the accuracy of the settings?can the desired temperature setting be programmed?Once obtaining the set temperature does it maintain that temperature?

Answer

Unfortunately, our variable temperature water bath has been discontinued.  We now have a constant temperature water bath which maintains the desired temperature once reached until the unit is turned off or the temperature setting is changed.

The temperature is accurate and the temp range is room temperature+ 5ºF up to 100ºF.  As for programming a specific temperature, this unit is manually adjustable only, there are no programmable settings.

Question
What is the construction material of the cabinet?Do the doors fold back 90 degrees flush against the sides? If not can you make a recommendation?

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. The cabinet is made of welded steel. Regrettably, these cabinets do not fold back into an 90 degree flush. Our recommendations would be a sliding cabinet. The only sizes we have available for the sliding cabinets are:

36"w x 12"d x 72"h

36"w x 18"d x 72"h

If these specifications will meet your needs, I would be able to provide your company with pictures and pricing.

Question
I have recurrent cancer and am going to a concert Billy Joel/Elton John next weekend. My immune system is a bit low - and I wish to take precautions re: exposure to other people and their germs. Which mask would be most efficient at protection and the most comfortable to wear? Thanks.

Answer
 

 Dear Deirdre:

There are a lot of misconceptions about the benefits of surgical/ procedure masks.  The intended use of a surgical / procedure mask is to help prevent large particles expelled by the wearer (e.g. spit, mucous) from reaching the patient or work environment.  Some additional information is outlined below.  If you would like to wear a mask, we would recommend the following cone masks, which are a better fit for your needs:

• Molded Cone Disposable Masks
• Form-Fit Cone Disposable Masks

Some surgical masks also have fluid resistant properties to help reduce the risk of splashes or sprays of blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions from reaching the wearer's mouth and nose. Fluids contacting the outer surface of the surgical mask will not immediately soak through to the interior of the surgical mask and contact the wearer's lips or skin.

Surgical masks are not designed to pass a fit test. Flat surgical masks fit loosely over the face leaving large gaps between the mask and the wearer. It is unlikely that most of the air will pass through the mask material. The air (and any airborne particles) will go through the gaps. Cup or Cone shaped surgical masks appear to fit tighter to the face, but they are not designed to seal to the face and cannot be relied upon to provide respiratory protection.

Surgical masks are typically donned for a specific procedure. For infection control purposes masks are typically disposed of after each procedure/patient activity.

In the United States, surgical masks are cleared for sale by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA reviews data submitted by the manufacturer but does not test the surgical mask. The FDA only allows the sale of products that meet their minimum requirements based on the data supplied.
Common tests for surgical masks include: particle filtration efficiency (PFE), bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE), fluid resistance, differential pressure and flammability.

PFE: The PFE test is a quality indicator for healthcare surgical masks. The PFE test is not an indicator of respirator protection performance The filter media of a surgical mask with a very high (>95%) PFE may be less than 70% efficient when tested with the NIOSH N95 test method. The results of the surgical mask PFE testing and NIOSH filtration efficiency testing should not be compared. Conditions of the PFE test include:

• Polystyrene latex sphere test aerosol approximately 0.1 m in size;
• Airflow rate of 28 liters per minute (lpm). o Unneutralized test aerosol.
• No preconditioning

BFE: This test assesses the ability of a mask to provide a barrier to large particles expelled by the wearer. It is not a filtration efficiency test and it does not evaluate the mask's ability to provide any protection to the wearer. Two methodologies are available: the "Modified Greene and Vesley Test or ASTM method F2101-01. Fluid Resistance: The fluid resistance test is typically conducted based on the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Method F 1862 "Resistance to Penetration by Synthetic Blood" which determines the mask's resistance to synthetic blood squirted at it under varying pressures.
