Description
The Calmostin NTS-02 M is a transcutaneous nerve stimulator, made in the microproduction workshop of the ICE research institute in Bucharest, where it was designed [1].
Together with the Ministry of Health, ICE drew up a national medical equipment programme; the prototypes of its medical electronics laboratory went into production at IEIA Cluj-Napoca (19 types), IEMI (3), IEI (2) and in ICE’s microproduction workshop (19) [1]. As demand grew, production of some of them was taken over by IEI [1].
IEI also made it [3]. Its prospectus presents it as a replacement for painkillers in acute and chronic pain of rheumatic, neurological, vascular, post-traumatic or post-operative origin, and for sports and recovery medicine; it has two independent channels and two stimulation modes, works from a battery or the mains, and must not be used by people with an implanted pacemaker [2].
