Description
The Pointer Plus is a modern, convenient health device that gives you the benefits derived from a 4000 year old Chinese health science now called ELECTRO-ACUPRESSURE. The Pointer Plus is the newest and most advanced user-friendly handheld point finder and stimulator! It features a built-in, 0.35" x 1.0" LCD digital display for locating acupuncture and trigger points. The advanced, hand-held, 6.5" long Pointer Plus Excel device provides sensitive acupuncture or trigger point location and stimulation. Location and stimulation are independently adjusted with two separate dials to provide fast and effective relief from discomfort, pain, swelling, inflammation, tension and stress-related symptoms! The portable, battery-powered Pointer Plus is so handy you can use it anytime, anywhere! It's completely non-invasive and painless because the Pointer Plus simply tones or sedates the affected area!
Electroacupuncture treatment is painless and effective pain relief is only 3-5 minutes away!
The pulse rate of the Pointer Plus is fixed at 10 Hz. (Recognized in Japan and Germany as the most useful treatment frequency). The hand-held Pointer Plus provides sensitive acupuncture/trigger point localization and toning or sedation. A flashing light and sound indicate when a point is detected; spring-activated detection allows for steady pressure while searching, while the grounding circuit is established by holding the metal plate on the side of the device or with the hand grounding rod.

Introduction:
The Pointer Plus is a precise and easy-to-use handheld acupuncture or trigger pointer stimulator/locator that includes a push-button stimulation function: It can be used for immediate treatment of the point or area immediately after its detection.
Point Plus Features:
1. Advanced Spring Type Probe Tip
The replaceable spring probe provides constant pressure on the area or points, providing better accuracy in finding the point location. It is important to note that any part of the body can be induced to produce a point location signal depending on the amount of pressure used during localization. Therefore, it is important to use the lightest and lowest possible pressure on the skin surface when localizing the trigger or acupuncture pointer. In addition, the movement of the probe while searching for the point should be smooth and graceful, always maintaining the same light, even and constant pressure until the correct point is found. The unique spring mechanism of the Pointer Plus probe also corrects for slight variations in applied pressure.
2. Interchangeable Probes
Two different probes are provided for different applications. The larger probe can be used for larger areas or body points, while the small probe can be used for ear points or other smaller body points.
3. Sensitivity Adjustment
The sensitivity of the point detection is adjustable. The "SEN" knob can be used to either increase (clockwise adjustment) or decrease (counterclockwise adjustment) the sensitivity for different skin conditions.
4. Hand Grounding Rod Accessory
The patient must hold the hand grounding rod to create a complete electrical circuit. This accessory is easily attached or removed from the unit. (Note: This device can also be used without the grounding rod, but in this case the clinician must both touch the grounding plate of the device and hold the patient's bare skin with their hand to complete the circuit). The grounding pole is not required for self-application, provided the grounding plate of the device is contacted.
5.Instant point localization and treatment
The button on the top of the device can be pressed to activate the stimulation mode. A continuous electrical pulse of 8 to 10 Hz is delivered through the probe, and the intensity can also be adjusted from 0 to 22 mA. The intensity is controlled by the intensity knob labeled "INT".
Note: Stimulation for the Pointer Plus can be increased by lightly moistening the skin.
