INSTRUCTION MANUAL

IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

PLEASE READ FIRST

Differential Temperature: All Nervo-Scopes®

- including the Pro-X – are used to compare,

detect and display differential skin temperatures

along a glide path. Each of the two probes

detect a temperature and the difference is

displayed. 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.

Note: EDL cannot train anyone on how to use or

interpret scope reading.

Note: All Nervo-Scope® sales are nal and

returns are not accepted. EDL manufactures the

Nervo-Scope®however we are not able to

provide instructions on how to use the scope as

we are not trained Doctors of Chiropractic.

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 – what you require to help your patient. For more information

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.

This scope still features he long time favored Super Glide Rings offering

the smoothest glide possible - with maximum comfort. Now included as a

standard feature are our much-loved contour ex tips which were designed

to smoothly hug the spine offering unmatched adjustability of heads ideal

for every type, size, and style of patient.

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

used to lock the detector arms in place. When adjustment is required simply

loosen the black plastic thumb 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 gently tightening the black plastic thumb knob.

Do not overtighten.

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 ensure the knob is tight

enough so the detector arms will not move while in use.

Operation

Simply press the ON/OFF button to turn on your Pro-X. Once the scope is

powered on, gently place the two detector arms against the skin. Apply the

arms simultaneously and with even pressure to 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. With the new thermocouple tip

design, we have virtually eliminated the possibility of scratching a patient.

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

indicator needle to appear to be off of the “0” (zero). Please remember this

is a differential temperature diagnostic tool. It is recommended that you

rst reset your Pro-X (see instructions below), and if the problem persists

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

instrument is in need of adjustment. You may download a Support Request

Form at www.edl-inc.com/chiro-support-request/

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” (see below).

The ON/OFF button turns the screen on and off when 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.

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

This view is identical to our original display. The analog view will depict 0-25

on. The movement of the needle directly coincides with the thermocouples

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

side the needle moves to display this while in analog view.

While in analog view you will also see a quick representation with a colored

depiction that follows the needle as the number increases in either

direction.

Digital Display

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

based on the temperature detected by the thermocouples. Here you have

the option of getting a true body temperature readout (which reads in °C or

°F) which is extremely helpful when checking Fossa readings.

Using The Scope

Simply turn the unit on and perform your standard glides as you would with

any other Nervo-Scope®diagnostic tool. To change any of the settings - the

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

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

Thermocouple Tips

Unfortunately, thermocouple tips are

prone to user error and are the most

common repair. ALL EDL instruments

are built with utmost care and use only

the nest components in our products.

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 & free of skin

debris, and properly stored. Tips do not

require maintenance if properly cared

for and cleaned. Please note the new

and advanced tips featured on the Pro-X

are based on the same basic science

& functionality, and are 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 (based on the longtime favorite)

are made of a completely new design,

and one with great signicance. With our

new exclusive 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. That means

with this design, you will never scratch

the patient. The smooth curved wire is

intended to smoothly glide along the

spine and you can easily see if your tip is

broken & makes cleaning much easier.

You are now only cleaning one wire – not

(8) crevices. There are virtually NO hard-

to-reach areas in this new design.

Other Settings

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

graphics vs a brighter background with darker fonts/graphics. This is user

specic – the unit will default with “light mode settings” 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: You may choose to use the temperature display - this is user

specic. If you do not want to display the temperature you can simply turn

this feature off in the settings menu.

L/R View: While in the Digital View the display will show you an “L” or an

“R” in whichever direction the heat is sensed, giving you a quick and easy

reference.

Sensitivity

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

sensitivities may be changed by simply pressing the MODE BUTTON. Again,

to change sensitivities, simply press the MODE BUTTON OR in the settings

you may chose to slide the button {slider} to your desired sensitivity. This

advanced tool allows you to change sensitivities while doing a standard

glide. Note: If you are “Graphing” (discussed 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 level of comfort and 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 setting for you. You will nd

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

Graphing

This scope is equipped with a graph function allowing you to temporarily

store the glide you just performed giving you an opportunity (without the

Analgraph) to show your patient what you see. Show them both pre and

post adjustment. To use the Graph feature you may choose to be in ANALOG

VIEW, DIGITAL VIEW or in GRAPH VIEW (to get to the graph screen click the

bottom left button that says GRAPH. This is how you will see your graph after

you complete the glides. Simply hit the START BUTTON from any view and

perform your standard glide. Once you have nished your glide press 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 the non-analog

version). While performing a glide, if you notice a subluxation, you may 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 then perform another glide and if you choose to graph again

you simply hit the START BUTTON again. This will automatically clear the old

data and allow you to 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 the usage of the instrument throughout the day. We recommend

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

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

you don’t want to run out of charge during glide. 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 charging 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 approximately (10) minutes after removing the

charging 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.
