Drug Relief V(version) 2.0 Auricular Percutaneous Electrical Neural Field Stimulation (PENFS)

"This is a Small electronic circuit board with a minimal number of electronic components in it, which is powered by three zinc-air batteries. Each battery consists of 1.4v of charge. From this charge, the circuit produces a maximum voltage of 3.4V under no load condition.~The produced Voltage is driven as output by using the three stimulation wires, and the fourth insulated wire acts as a ground. The wires are Bio-compatible and do not have any impact when in contact with the human skin. The wire is attached with a needle to transfer the produced voltage into the nerves of the human ear. The sterilized needle (Titanium) is attached at the end of the wire through a snap fit ring. All the materials used are gone through necessary safety and performance testing including bio-compatibility and sterility testing, wherever necessary."
