Strapping the pads and gel against the skin will cause a moist and warm environment, if there is already bacteria there, then this kind of environment is what bacteria needs to cause infections. This is why we advise to avoid strapping on or near any irritated/unhealthy skin and to strap to a clean, dry leg. The Facebook PSD discussion group seems to have a lot of users, many of which seem to be quite positive about it. My sceptical side though thinks that those who found no particular effect would be less vocal about it, and also how would you know if gradual/mild improvement has anything to do with ARC (vs. simply time, change in weather/temperature etc.). ArcEquine is a remarkably small device that is wearable, drug free and non-invasive. It works by automatically generating a complex series of microcurrents with a simple, one-finger operation. In fact, it delivers over 4.6 million permutations within a single programme to support the body’s own natural repair process. And just like naturally occurring microcurrents, they can’t be felt, so cause absolutely no discomfort to the horse whatsoever. We would not be able to sell a device that causes damage and our Arc4Health uses the exact same technology, and microcurrent range, and has gone through the strict regulatory process to be a Class IIa medical device.

A: Do not leave an ArcEquine on the horse overnight as the horse is more likely to damage the device within the stable (please note that accidental damage is not covered under the warranty). Some horses, after prolonged use, may also develop a rub-type condition and even some loss or discolouration of hair, especially if the strap is too tight. A: There is currently no clinical evidence to support the safety of using Microcurrent with epilepsy. Therefore, we do not recommend it. PEMF is a bit like therapeutic ultrasound but it uses pulsed magnetism instead of sounds waves. When I last looked there was very little evidence that it does anything, but horses do seem to like it, it feels a bit like a gentle massage.TBH I would never have bought the ArcEquine for myself, but whatever Jay Man needs he gets, so it arrived. I have no idea if it is helping him really or not, as he never was lame, and is on walk only. He has had his second scan thugh after 4 weeks, 3 of which were with the ArcEquine, and the vet was pleased. A: Provided that it is kept clean and dry, and the delivery unit is kept fully protected under a boot or bandage, it can be worn in the field. Some users have found it helpful to use Vet Wrap to protect their device. Please note that accidental damage or water damage is not covered under warranty, and the use of the ArcEquine in the field would be the responsibility of the device owner.

The Device is in no way a substitute for your existing veterinary policy and you should always consult a veterinary expert on equine conditions prior to using the Device.

A: Whilst it is very uncommon, some horses may develop a rub-type condition or a sensitivity reaction as a result of prolonged use. On rare occasions, they may also experience minor hair loss or hair discolouration. To reduce the likelihood of this happening we make the following recommendations:

A: There is currently no clinical evidence to support the safety of using Microcurrent during pregnancy. Therefore, we do not recommend it. There was always talk of studies and papers just about to be produced by Arc but AFAIK nothingnhas ever materialised.

And just like naturally occurring microcurrents, they can’t be felt, so cause no discomfort to the horse at all. We informed you that damage caused by this would, understandably, be deemed as accidental damage. Despite this, we had your delivery unit fully inspected by an electrical engineer, to try and ascertain the cause and the severity of the damage. We mentioned also that we would gladly replace your device if a manufacturing fault was determined. Use of microcurrent may cause some dehydration. Please ensure your animal always has access to fresh, clean water when using the Device. I read the stuff on here, and decided that as I did not even strap the Arcequine onto his poorly leg it could not hurt. I spoke with Ian who was great, and convinced me to use it myself too.

I have a red LED at the top – am I out of charge? = If you have a red LED showing prior to attaching the leg strap to your horses’ body it is purely indicating which programme is selected. ArcEquine’s default setting is to have audible sounds. Please refer to your User Manual for information about turning the audible beep on and off. A: Yes, all full kits are sent via Recorded Delivery and require a signature unless the delivery options are updated with the courier directly e.g. asked to leave in a safe place. However, due to the value of the kits, we do not recommend this. A: The application of Microcurrent aims to support the body’s natural repair process and to help it trigger the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ARC Microtech products should never replace any medical advice and should not be used if cancer is present or you think it may be present just for safety. The Arc4Health has regulatory approval as a Class IIa medical device in the areas of pain management and tissue repair in 33 countries. It’s remarkably small, is wearable, drug-free, non-invasive and works by automatically generating a complex series of microcurrents with a simple, one-finger operation. In fact, it delivers over 4.6 million permutations within a single treatment programme.

Do not overtighten the elasticated straps. The carbon rubber pads are sensitive and only require light pressure to maintain good connectivity.

And just like naturally occurring microcurrents, they can’t be felt, so cause no discomfort to the horse at all. Once the liner and pads have been attached to the leg strap, insert the Delivery Unit into the strap’s pouch and ensure that the electrical lead is inserted fully into the bottom of the delivery unit. Attach the leg strap with the delivery unit to the outside of the cannon bone, making sure to rotate the strap between healthy legs each day. There is no need to over-tighten the strap, the carbon rubber pads are very sensitive, and no significant pressure is required to maintain connectivity. To protect the unit whilst on your horses’ leg, we advise wrapping with a soft stable bandage.
