Yes. Your local Theragen representative can provide you with reports, and patients may also present ActaStim Sync summary data directly from their phones during follow-up appointments.
Will I have access to the data my patients collect with the ActaStim Sync App?
Initially, your designated Theragen representative will meet with patients to provide instructions on setting up and utilizing ActaStim. During this session, the representative will also assist patients in downloading the digital app, syncing it with the device, and guiding them through its usage on their phone to facilitate a smooth start.
How are my patients fitted with ActaStim-S, and how do they learn to use the digital app?
Yes, we have a dedicated team of specialists who will help with navigating the insurance claims process, optimizing coverage, and tailoring payment plans to patients’ needs. We’re here to unburden your practice in every way possible. That means going above and beyond to support your staff, keeping you in the loop on important details, and implementing your vision for each patient’s recovery from start to finish.
Is there insurance and financial assistance available to my patients?
ActaStim-S records wear time only when the electrodes are on the patient's skin. Some other devices record when powered on — whether being worn or not.  In addition, built-in sensors and a proprietary algorithm capture and measure relative activity during device wear, and, patients can enter pain scores and pain-related activities, adding an essential layer of insight to reports.

More info for ActaStim users

The ActaStim-S therapeutic signal activates healing on a cellular level, so you will not notice any sensation at all. As long as the ultra-thin electrodes are applied to your back and a green checkmark is displayed, ActaStim-S is working!
What does ActaStim-S therapy feel like?
ActaStim-S is designed to deliver continuous therapy throughout the day. The key to providing effective treatment is consistency throughout your day and for the length of time specified by your doctor. In summary, the more you wear it, the better it works.2
How often should I wear the ActaStim-S device?
Disconnect the ActaStim-S device during bathing, showering, or swimming. Reconnect it as soon as possible after these activities. Remove the electrodes or place shower covers over them while showering. Ensure the silver pins are completely dry before reconnecting them to the generator cable to resume treatment, as the electrode wires will remain exposed. Never submerge the ActaStim-S device in water.
What should I do when I shower, bathe, or swim?

Yes, you can travel with your ActaStim device without any concerns. As it is a medical device, there are no issues with bringing it through TSA.

We advise carrying the device in its carrying case while going through the scanner. Alternatively, if you choose to wear the device, ask for a private screening and it's a good idea to bring the Instructions for Use (IFU) to address any questions that TSA staff may have.
