1. Getting to know your device
The innovative Beurer EM 95 EMS
homeSTUDIO
muscle stimula-
tion device is a high-end EMS device for home use. When used in
combination with the free “beurer EMS HomeStudio” app, it creates
a professional EMS training program. You can choose between the
categories of “Fitness & Power” and “Relax & Wellbeing”. Overall,
you have 20 workout options with predefined exercises and which
have adjustable levels of difficulty. You also have the option to cre-
ate your own workouts in the app from a selection of 50 exercises.
At the start of the training unit, you can first select a virtual coach
and your desired workout in the app. Both the 3.5” TFT colour dis-
play screen and the app will then show the correct positions for the
cuffs and the electrodes. You will be shown videos from the virtual
coach which will show you how to do all of the exercises.
After completing the exercise unit, the app provides a detailed over-
view of your training progress. Graphs give you the means to monitor
your performance. Moreover, a calendar function tracks how often
the user performs their training.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
is a widespread and gener-
ally recognised method and has been used in sports medicine and
rehabilitation for years. In sports and fitness, EMS is used to com-
plement conventional muscle training, to increase the performance
of muscle groups and to adjust physical proportions to achieve the
desired aesthetic results, amongst other things. There are two dif-
ferent types of EMS application. One is for targeted strengthening
of the muscles (activating application), and the other is to achieve a
relaxing, restful effect (relaxing application).
The activating application involves:
• Muscle training to increase endurance and/or
• Muscle training in order to support the strengthening of specific
muscles or muscle groups, and to achieve the desired changes to
physical proportions.
The relaxing application involves:
• Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension
• Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue
• Acceleration of muscle regeneration after high muscle perfor-
mance (e.g. after a marathon).
An advantage of the EM 95 muscle stimulation device is that you
can adjust the intensity of the stimulation independently for four
parts of the body, by using the four separately adjustable channels.
2. Important notes
WARNING!
To avoid damage to your health, we strongly advise against
using the EM 95 in the following situations:
• If you have implanted electrical devices (e.g. a pace-
maker)
• If you have metal implants
• If you use an insulin pump
• If you have a high fever (e.g. > 39°C)
• If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia or disorders of
the heart's impulse and conduction system
• If you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy)
• If you are pregnant
• If you have cancer
• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the
healing process
• The device must never be used near to the heart.
The stimulation electrodes must not be placed on
any part of the front ribcage (where the ribs and
breastbone are located), especially not on the two
large pectorals. This can increase the risk of ven-
tricular fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
• On the skeletal skull structure, or around the mouth, throat or lar-
ynx
• In the neck/carotid artery area
• In the genital area
