We are Authorized dealers for StressEraser so your purchase will be covered under full Mfg. Warranty   The StressEraser is a sleek, precise, medical instrument that provides drug-free, non-invasive relief from stress. The StressEraser is a Class II, 510(k) exempt, handheld medical device which is intended for the purposes of stress reduction, relaxation, and relaxation training. It's a mini-biofeedback machine that helps to relax your body and calm your mind, just by changing your breathing and your focus... That in turn activates a part of the nervous system that quiets the body-reducing stress. How the StressEraser Works : The StressEraser is a non-invasive handheld biofeedback device that teaches people to breathe at their optimal rate and maintain a state of cognitive focus. The StressEraser measures real-time, pulse-by-pulse activity via an infrared finger sensor. The StressEraser finger sensor has a built-in photoplethysmograph to identify every pulse the moment it occurs. The StressEraser calculates a new pulse rate based upon the amount of time that has elapsed between the last two pulses. The StressEraser displays the up-and-down movement of the pulse rate via a pulse rate wave. The StressEraser wave is called Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). It represents the spontaneous rhythmic increase and decrease in heart rate. As the sympathetic nerve activity increases, your heart rate rises. As the parasympathetic nerve activity increases, your heart rate falls. The balance between these systems produces an ongoing oscillation of heart rate. As your heart rate rises, the wave rises. As heart rate falls, the wave falls. RSA has been found to be a window into the activity of the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic nervous system. Though some authors suggest it is one of several indicators of vagal/parasympathetic activity. Larger RSA waves are indicative of greater variability in heart rate and more parasympathetic/vagal tone. The StressEraser does not use traditional Heart Rate Variability frequency calculations (i.e., spectral analysis). Rather, the StressEraser uses a patent-pending algorithm that delineates the beginning and ending point of each individual RSA wave. This unique measurement allows the device to offer immediate feedback to the user. How to Use StressEraser: The ultimate goal is for the user to change short, jagged waves (below left) into to a stream of continuous, long, smooth waves (below right).                                               When the user achieves long, smooth waves, respiration and heart rate changes co-vary in a synchronous phase relationship. When using the StressEraser, the user inhales as the wave rises and exhales as it falls. The user is asked to attentively watch the screen, inhaling until he sees a wave peak indicator (triangle). Once the triangle appears, he is asked to exhale. When he is done exhaling, he inhales slowly until the next triangle appears. The inhale begins when the exhale ends. There is no prompt for the inhale. When learning, the user is instructed to experiment with different exhale counts (usually between 4 and 7 seconds) until he finds his optimal count that will give him continuous, long, smooth waves. During the exhale, some users choose to use a focus phrase or mantra that corresponds to the length of their exhale count to help shift their thoughts. This can be anything the user chooses, such as counting or a calming or inspirational phrase. The user is instructed to achieve 100 points per day, while obtaining at least 30 points per session (5-7 minutes). The device can be used anytime of day. We have found that a good time to use the device is before bedtime. At this time, the user can devote more time and it can help him recuperate from the day's stress. Summary of StressEraser Function : The StressEraser is a standalone, handheld biofeedback device that lets the user know whether he is actually relaxing correctly in the moment. The StressEraser is the only handheld biofeedback device that uses the RSA heart rate wave. Unlike a uniform metronome, the StressEraser guides the user to find his unique breathing frequency that is in sync with his nervous system. The wave peak indicator allows the user to exhale in sync with his nervous system while simultaneously cueing the user to shift his thoughts to counting or a focus phrase. The StressEraser offers real-time feedback on each individual RSA wave. This enables immediate feedback when improper breathing and/or emotional thoughts may be interrupting the optimal oscillations of the heart. The StressEraser is the only system to offer this immediate feedback. There is a large literature on the importance of immediate feedback, as opposed to delayed feedback, promoting behavior change. Additional StressEraser Features : Watching the RSA wave and the screen provides the user with a tangible alternative to unassisted relaxation exercises. A point-based system provides goals for the user. Point-based systems give the user a concrete goal which has been shown to promote behavior change. A history feature objectively measures adherence and progress (stores up to 999 sessions and can be reset to 0). A sound feature is available for users who want to keep their eyes closed while using the device. A light feature allows people to use it in the dark. The StressEraser is easily integrated into clinical, performance and corporate settings and does not require hours of teaching.
