FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Avazzia BEST™

  • The Avazzia Bio-Electric Stimulation Technology (BESTTM) devices are USFDA- cleared non-invasive, non-pharmacological neuromodulation devices for mitigating pain. These devices were developed to provide pain relief without surgery and without medication. Effectiveness depends on factors including source of pain, history of pain, other health issues, adherence to treatment schedule and more. Even fatigue and hydration may impact outcomes. There are no known side effects. Other than the stated contraindications, the technology does not impact efficacy of other medicine or injections received for pain management.

  • The Avazzia BEST™ devices have been certified by the European Union, Malaysia Medical Device Register, Singapore Medical Device Register, Health Canada and the USFDA as safe and effective. Since BEST™ devices do not introduce drugs, medicine or toxins to your body, you will not suffer related potential side effects. Patients have used Avazzia BEST™ for the following reasons:

    • They want to alleviate pain either before surgery or after surgery.

    • They have found that traditional remedies for pain (drugs, surgery, physical therapy) are not helping or not helping enough.

    • They have long-term pain (from sports injuries, trauma such as car accidents, or work-related pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome) that is hard to eliminate.

    • They have pain related to other health conditions, such as diabetic neuropathy.

  • Many people report impressive results: significant pain reduction, and frequently, complete elimination of pain and accelerated wound healing. Healthcare practitioners, including medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists and athletic trainers, use Avazzia BESTTM units for their own pain. A growing body of research on microcurrents shows that electro-stimulation effectively manages pain which can bring relief to related issues and thus, speed healing. Avazzia’s premier engineering ensures its units offer outstanding performance. Electro-stimulation is used by NASA, the U.S. military and hospitals, as well as wound clinics, rehab clinics, physical therapists and athletic trainers, to improve outcomes after injury and surgery.

  • Electro-stimulation is the application of electrical impulses to the body. There are many types of electro-stimulation and several USFDA classifications, such as:

    • Heart stimulator (pacemakers)

    • Implantable stimulators (frequently used for pain)

    • Bone growth stimulators

    • Transcranial stimulators

    • Electrical muscle stimulators

    • Transcutaneous (skin) electro-neurological stimulators (TENS): Avazzia BEST™ falls into this category, and unlike many in this category, also falls into both subcategories of microcurrent and interferential.

  • Transcutaneous means through the surface of the skin and nerve refers to the electrical current that stimulates through the sensory nerve. USFDA categorizes all of the electrical stimulator devices that go through the surface of the skin but do not penetrate the skin as TENS devices.

    Hence, Avazzia BEST™ devices are classified by the USFDA as a TENS unit, as are possibly hundreds of other devices. Many of these TENS units have not changed their technology in decades. Avazzia technology was created in 2004 by a former Texas Instrument engineer to take the technology used in the 1970s into the 21st century. Key features of Avazzia’s Bio Electric-Stimulation Technology are its state-of-the-art engineering and that it is manufactured in the U.S.; and its flexibility in addressing pain issues in patients.

    Avazzia’s technology distinctions:

    • Technology delivers more advanced output waveform and microcurrent.

    • The interactive features and functions of Avazzia BEST™ are patented and proprietary.

    • The PRO models give a numeric reading of tissue reaction response data.

    • Flexibility means all Avazzia BEST™ devices can be used with any of the approved accessories or alone, with the onboard electrodes.

    Because of the interactive response, the patient is less likely to develop accommodation or habituation from treatment. (Accommodation reduces the efficacy of almost every other TENS device in the market.) Devices are programmed to control the electrical amplitude (how much power is delivered); the frequency (the rate of electrical output) and other qualities such as burst pulse patterns; modulation; and damping.

  • The PRO models give a numeric reading of tissue reaction response data . Other Avazzia BESTTM devices also indicate D or Z in some modes. Click here for more information about IR, OR, D and Z.

  • Follow your healthcare practitioner’s directions. It is not unusual to apply Avazzia BESTTM microcurrent two to three times a day, for up to 20 minutes each time, for a week. After a week, many users find that they significantly reduce their treatment time or frequency. Many discontinue daily use all together.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent

  • Yes, all modes on all Avazzia BESTTM devices use specific frequencies. Some of those frequencies are considered proprietary information and not public information. Others are listed in the Owner’s Manuals of the different Avazzia BESTTM products.

  • Yes. Avazzia BESTTM devices generate a high-voltage, pulsed current (HVPC), damped, biphasic, asymmetric sinusoidal waveform that produces a microcurrent output.

  • Owners may set paired frequencies using two devices. In this case, treatment can be using two separate pre-set modes on each device (e.g.: set one device at VASO, the other device at RSI and place the four pads as preferred) or setting each device at one of the VAZ custom programmable modes in Pro-SportTM III device and personally selecting desired frequencies. This also would require two sets of two pads, with placement as desired. Also, this could be accomplished using two Avazzia StarTM devices or BEST-RSITM devices, with one device set at one mode, the second device at a different mode.

  • Custom-programmable VAZ mode is available in the Pro-SportTM III device. It is not difficult to use (and save) a preferred frequency. This example gives step-by-step instructions to save desired settings:

    1. To start, turn on device: Press  key to navigate to AVA mode. Press Select to select AVA mode.

    2. Set frequency at 152 Hz: Press  key to FREQUENCY. Press  key to 152.0.

    3. Select pulse value of 3: Press  key to PULSES. Press  key to value of 3. (This sets 3 pulses per packet.)

    4. Select Z-value to 15: Press  key to Z_VALUE. Press  key to value of 015.

    5. Select damping value of 2: Press  key to DAMPING. Press  key to value of 2.

    6. Select Modulation of 3:1: Press  key to MOD. Press  key to 3:1

    7. To save this program in VAZ 2: Press  key to SAVE VAZ 1. Press  key to SAVE VAZ 2. Press Select.

    This is now saved as the VAZ 2 mode. This can be recalled by going to VAZ 2 and pressing Select (the centre button).

    This VAZ 2 mode also can be reprogrammed with different settings, in effect “erasing” the first set of characteristics. Note that programming happens in the AVA mode, although AVA will not save those settings.

Maintenance

  • It depends upon how careful you are with them and where you store them when not in use. Follow the care directions on the package they come in. Some patients, with care, have used a set of pads twice a day for 5 to 7 days and more.

  • With the device off, carefully wipe it with either an alcohol swab or damp cloth. Dampen a cotton ball in isopropyl alcohol and wipe off the onboard electrodes (if those were used), or the electrodes on the end of the comb, pencil or Y-electrode attachments. Do not open up the device, other than to change batteries.

  • It depends upon many factors:

    • how often you use your unit

    • how long you use your unit

    • battery quality

    • device settings

    Higher intensity settings and frequencies will use up more battery capacity. There is a great deal of difference between inexpensive batteries and high-quality batteries. In a professional setting, two to three days is an average life-span for the two AA batteries that power the BESTTM devices. For home units, a set of high-quality batteries could last several weeks.
