Introduction

Againwemustcongratulateyouforpurchasingoneofthenestandmost

reliable dual probe thermal detection instruments used for Chiropractic

Diagnostics ever manufactured. Our Nervo-Scope® line of products is

trusted by Chiropractic professionals around the world – and has been the

preferred tool for accurately adjusting patients for the most prestigious

doctors for decades. All of our instruments were engineered to deliver a

lifetime of accurate and dependable operation. In general, you should

treat these instruments with the same care and concern you would any

high quality medical product. They are designed to be ergonomic and

completely portable – we know they are used with each and every patient

and you need to trust it will work wherever and whenever you require it. All

Nervo-Scopes® - including the Pro-X – are used to compare, detect and

display differential skin temperatures along a glide path. Nervo-Scope®

instruments have earned the trust and respect of chiropractors worldwide

and we thank you for your never ending trust and loyalty to our brand.

The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X is used comfortably for both pre and post

adjustment assessment. The newest iteration of the longtime trusted scope

was developed to provide accurate readings in a package that is next

generation. As with the ETS-9 and ETS-9A models, the Pro-X is resistant to

interferencefromcellphones,iPadsandtablets,laptops,evenuorescent

lights.TheNervo-Scope®Pro-Xwasdevelopedtorejecttheinuenceof

these sources and consistently give precise and repeatable readings each

and every time the instrument is used. All Nervo-Scopes® are hand-made

by skilled craftsmen in our Virginia facility. In addition to manufacturing new

scopes, we are committed to providing ongoing service on every scope

we ever produced. At EDL – there is a time honored tradition of building a

quality product that may be passed down from generation to generation,

of listening to the Chiropractic community, and developing products

based on your needs – and what you require to help your patient. For more

Thermal Detector Arms & The Maximum

Flexibility for Adjustments

The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X offers fully adjustable legs & heads to

accommodate patients of all shapes, sizes, & ages. This scope may also

be used for equine and animal adjustments as the detector heads are

themostadjustableandexibleever–allowingyoutoscopepatientsof

virtually any size or shape.

The long time favored Super Glide tips were revived, however much

improved from their original design, and are now included as a standard

feature.Werenedthisadvancedscopetoincludethemuch-lovedcontour

extipswhichallowmaximumandvirtuallyunmatchedadjustabilityof

heads, with proven maximum range of motion for every type, size, and style

of patient.

The black plastic knob on the front of the meter, between the arms, is used

to lock the detector arms in place. When adjustment is required, loosen the

black plastic knob. The arms should move smoothly and easily. Carefully

compress or expand the detector arms to the desired width and lock them

in place by tightening the black plastic knob.

Note: You must move both detector arms in unison. If you move only one

side, you may damage the internal spring and block assembly. Be careful

and do not over-tighten the black plastic knob, but do make it tight enough

so the detector arms will not move while in use.

Operation

Power on the Nervo-Scope® unit and place the two detector arms against

the skin. Apply simultaneously with even pressure. Start and maintain your

glide at a constant {slow} rate. It is important to maintain the pressure

evenly with the detector arms at a right angle in relation to the skin surface.

It is suggested to use approximately 0.5 to 1 kg (1 to 2 lbs.) of pressure against

theskinwithmodicationsmadeasneeded.Undernocircumstanceshould

the glide cause any discomfort to the patient.

It is not uncommon for drafts or radiated heat to cause the instrument

indicator needle to appear off of the “0” (zero). It is recommended that you

call one of our experienced technicians at 1.800.342.5335 if you feel your

instrument is in need of adjustment.

To turn the unit on hold the “on/off” button for a minimum of 6 seconds (unit

will NOT turn on until you have released the button) This is also the “Hard

Reset” so if for ANY reason the software is NOT performing the way it should

you will hold the “on/off” button for a minimum of 6 seconds and release the

button and you will see the main “EDL splash screens”.

The “on/off” button will also turn the screen on and off when only pushed

once- a blue light will appear in the top right corner telling you the scope

is in sleep mode. Either touch the screen or push the on/off button once to

resume use. If the scope remains unused for one hour the screen will turn

off automatically (and can be used again with just one push of the on/off

button or touching the screen) after three hours of no operation, the unit will

go into a deep sleep power save mode. When this happens the blue light will

turn off and to resume use you must hold the “on/off” button for a minimum

of 6 seconds, again remember the unit will not turn on until you release the

button

This unit has a capacitive touchscreen and functions similarly to almost any

smart touch device (phone or tablet). Simply swipe the screen to change

between the “analog display” or the “digital bar graph display”. Please

remember this unit is still a differential temperature device meaning it Will

Not Always Sit At Zero – any air current or heat from body etc. will cause

the needle to move in either direction and therefore it will cause the unit

to appear “not centered or calibrated.” This is not accurate – again, it’s

differential temperature. All Nervo-Scope® units are triple checked and

calibrated prior to leaving our facility.

Analog Display

An analog view will depict 0-25 on both the left and right side of zero. The

movement of the needle directly coincides with the thermocouples in the

unit and when one side senses a temperature greater than the other the

needle will move to display this in the analog view.

On this view you will also see a quick representation with a colored depiction

that follows the needle as the number increases either direction

Digital Display

In this view you will see a large bar graph that will move either left or right,

based on the temperature the thermocouples detect. Here you will have a

true body temperature readout (which reads in °C or °F) which is extremely

helpful when checking fossa readings.

To use the scope- simply turn the unit on and perform a standard glide as

you would with any other diagnostic tool. To change any of the settings - the

gear and wrench icon on the top left of the screen is a settings button. Click

the icon and a drop-down menu will slide down full of the settings.

Other Settings

Light/Dark Mode: this will change to a dark background with lighter fonts/

graphics vs a brighter background with darker fonts/graphics- again this

however with the simple push of a button you can alter it to your liking.

Units: °F or °C – while in the digital view this will display actual body

temperature when needed

Show Temp: If you do not want to display the temperature you can simply

turn this feature off in the settings menu

L/R View: Again, while in the digital view this will display an “L” or an “R”

whichever direction the heat is sensed giving you a quick reference.

Sensitivity

The Nervo-Scope® Pro-X features eight (8) Sensitivity settings. These 8

sensitivities may be changed with just the push of the mode button. Again,

to change the sensitivities simply press the mode button OR in the settings

you can slide the button {slider} to your desired sensitivity. This advanced

tool allows you to change sensitivities while doing a standard glide.

However if you are “graphing” (we will go over this in the next section) your

glide you cannot change sensitivities - because during a “graph session”

the “mode” button has a different function. Note: the higher the number, the

higher the sensitivity - the lower the number, the lower sensitivity.

EDL cannot suggest the level you should set your sensitivity to - the Pro-X

defaults at sensitivity level 5 however each chiropractor may tailor this to

theirownlikingandeachpatientsspecicneeds.Pleaserememberour

older model scopes are generally a lower sensitivity while our newer model

scopes are a higher sensitivity. We suggest you test and practice with the

settingsuntilyoundthemostcomfortableforyouinitially.Youwillndthe

onethatbesttsyourtechniquewithjustalittlepractice.

Thermocouple Tips

The thermocouple tips are prone to user error. ALL EDL instruments are built

withutmostcareanduseonlythenestcomponents.Weguaranteeevery

part of our scopes EXCEPT the thermocouple tips because it is up to you,

the Doctor, to keep your thermocouple tips clean and free of skin debris

and well stored. We do not require maintenance on tips if properly cared

for and cleaned. Please note these new and advanced tips featured on the

Pro-X are based on the same basic science and functionality, and made

with the same precision thermocouple wire as all of our previous model

Nervo-Scopes. It’s identical. But that is where the similarity ends. The new

and improved Contour Flex Tips (which are based on the longtime favorite)

aremadeofacompletelynewdesign,andonewithgreatsignicance.With

this new design we have virtually eliminated the ability to have a broken

or sharp edge – as the tip is now one single thermocouple with a smooth

rounded curved design. This design will never scratch the patient. It is

intended to smoothly glide along the spine. It ALSO makes cleaning much

easier as you are only cleaning one wire – not 8 crevices. There are virtually

NO hard-to-reach areas in this new design.

Graphing

This scope is equipped with a graph function which allows you to temporarily

store the glide you just performed allowing your patient to “see what you

see” – to use the Graph feature you can either be in the “analog view”,

“digital view” or even in the graph view (to get to the graph screen you will

simply click the bottom left button that says “graph”- this is how you will

see your graph after you have done the glide as well) you will simply hit the

“start” button from any view you would like and perform your standard glide.

Onceyouhavenishedyourglideyouwillhitthe“stop”button(thisisthe

same as the start button so make sure you only hit it once- as the unit only

stores the graph temporarily on this version). While performing a glide, if you

notice a subluxation, you can simply press the “MODE” button and instead of

changing the sensitivity while you are graphing this will place a “mark” on the

graph thus allowing you to see that break clearly. Once you have reviewed

the graph (for yourself or with the patient) you can perform another glide

and if you choose to graph again you simply hit the start button again and it

will automatically clear the old data and start a new glide.

Battery Information/ Charging

DO NOT use unit while it is charging. While the unit is charging the light will

show orange - when it is completely charged it will turn green. This unit will

holdachargeforroughly12hours,pleaseknowthisnumberwilluctuate

based on usage of instrument throughout the day and we recommend

charging it every night. The top right of the screen displays battery

percentage left for use. We suggest to never let the scope get below 10% as

you don’t want to run out during the glide and the screen will begin to get

dimandcouldinterferewithyourabilitytoviewyourndings.Thescopeis

supplied with a charging block and cord, to charge your device slide the

USB-C charging cord into the bottom charging port. Charging can cause a

slight increase in heat on the board therefore it is recommended not to use

your scope for ant least 10 minutes after removing the cord from the unit.

Cleaning

For compliance with current OSHA, FDA 510 (K), and EPA regulations; these

instruments must be cleaned between each patient. EDL has tested many

cleaners and Certol has been our cleaner of choice for several years.

ProSpray™ Wipes are surface disinfectant/cleaner towelettes that have

been chosen as our recommended cleaner due to the ratings achieved.

Togetthefullgermicidalbenet,thetipsmustremainmoistfor3minutes.

Simply wipe the tip with a towelette, then use the included brush to gently

brush the detector tip 3 to 5 times. Repeat these instructions for the other

detector. Let the detector tips dry for 3 to 5 minutes.

To clean the instrument housing, use a ProSpray™ disinfectant towelette

as well. Do not apply directly on the instrument. Liquid may seep into the

instrument and adversely affect the circuitry.

Note: Other disinfectants on the market do not have the ratings of

ProSpray™ and the use of these other disinfectants, especially ones that

contain quats or iodophors, will damage your instrument and void your

warranty. To purchase ProSpray™ Wipes, visit our website at www.edl-inc.

com or call our 1.800.342.5335.
