"First Aid Kit of the Future"

Dear Fellow Canadians:
We are now shipping to you with the understanding that SOTA's products are for well being or relaxation. Health Canada has indicated they have cancelled SOTA's licensing as TENS units. Regulators in the Medical Device department of Health Canada have indicated both
verbally and in writing, however, that our units can be sold as consumer products. It is with this understanding that we are fulfilling your orders.

These units have not been evaluated by Health Canada or the FDA for safety or effectiveness. Government regulators say that testimonials are misleading and deceptive. Also, please understand that these products are not intended to nor are they allowed to cure or treat any specific disease. Government regulators state you must consult a medical doctor for the treatment of all diseases. The SOTA Team

What is "The Zapper"?

Each Zapper is a professionally designed quality unit, thoroughly tested on an oscilloscope, and is guaranteed to operate per the specifications.

Our latest Zapper Model ZHC5 has 6 output user-selectable frequency/timer Modes. Output voltage is now 12 VOLTS DC peak with positive offset, compared to 9 Volts with previous units.

New Model ZHC5 features include:

The Unit:

Line drawing of The Zapper unit

The Zapper is housed in a custom plastic enclosure with a built-in compartment for the 9 Volt DC battery. A slide-off lid allows you to change the battery easily.
The Zapper ships with Conductive (Anti-Static) Straps instead of Copper Pipes.

NOTE: Our custom straps do not have the 1 megohm resistor that restricts the output. Instead our straps are a straight-through design that conducts the electricity without any hindrance.

The cord for the Wrist Straps is about 4 feet long, is very flexible, and has two Dome Clips on one end to attach to the Straps. The Straps can thus be detached for easy cleaning with soap and water. (Hint: Pre-moisten the Straps with Tap Water for better conductivity.)

The Zapper
is packaged in a very nice soft carrying case for easy storage.

Electronics:

The Zapper is designed to the highest standards. We have improved on the design with added features like longer battery life, and a low battery warning.

Specifications:

  • Input Voltage: 9 Volts DC (Alkaline Battery)
  • Output: ~30,000 Hertz (cycles per second), Square wave, 50% Duty Cycle, Positive Offset, at a constant 12 Volts Peak Voltage. To see the actual output waveform from the oscilloscope, please click HERE. Note the extremely square and symmetrical waveform; free of any spikes or artifacts. The frequency as measured in this unit is 30.081 kHz (30,081 cycles per second), and the peak-to-peak output voltage is measured at 11.2 Volts.
