Gastrointestinal and Organ Issues – Cranial Upper Abdomen

1. A large Assisi Loop should be used to treat the abdomen of the pet.
2. The area to be treated will either be the cranial or front half of the abdomen or the caudal or back half of the abdomen.  If the area to be treated is the stomach, pancreas, liver, spleen, or gall bladder, the cranial or front half of the abdomen is to be treated.  If the area to be treated is the small intestine, large intestine, colon, or uterus, the caudal or back half of the abdomen is to be treated.  In a toy-size dog or a cat, the whole abdomen can be treated with a large Assisi Loop.
3. Position the pet lying down either flat on the ground, up on their elbows, or sitting.  Place the Assisi Loop on the pet’s back, side, or around the abdomen.  Center the Loop just behind the last rib.  See Pictures
4. The Loop can be placed around the patient if the size of the patient and the size of the Assisi Loop are appropriate for this positioning to be utilized.  To place the Loop around the abdomen of the pet, it is usually easier to place the Assisi Loop around the rear feet and slide it up over the hips, making sure the tail goes through the Loop as it is being slid up the rear limbs.  The Assisi Loop is slid to a position just behind the last rib.  See Pictures
5. CAUTION:  Do not force the pet’s shoulders, haunches, or torso through the coil.  If they do not slip easily through the coil, place the coil flat against, over, or under animal’s torso, as shown in the related images.  Forcing the animal through the coil can be traumatic to the pet and may overly stress the connection of the coil to the circuit board inside the Loop case.
6. Medium- to large-sized pets – If the pet is too large for the above placement, the Assisi Loop can be placed on the side of the abdomen over the area that is to be treated.  See Pictures
7. Giant- or wide-breed dogs (Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, . . . ) – Two Assisi Loops can be used simultaneously to treat both sides if indicated.  One Assisi Loop can be used on the two sides consecutively, but there should be 2 hours in between sessions for optimal battery longevity.
8. For side or top Assisi Loop placement, a LOOP-AID can be used with the Assisi Loop attached to the garment over the area to be treated.  Attach the Assisi Loop with two Velcro straps.
9. The signal generator should be located in view of the person treating the pet.
10. Do not leave the pet unattended when using this placement as small movements can change the positioning of the Loop and the area being treated.
11. Turn the unit on by pressing the button on the front of the white rubberized signal generator; green lights will illuminate about once per second.
12. Keep the unit in place for the full 15 minutes until the unit shuts off.
13. In cases of severe disease (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, acute kidney failure, acute episode of IBD, . . . ), use the unit 3-4 times daily, if possible, or until clinical signs have resolved.  Then treat twice daily until blood work returns to normal or levels off.
14. If symptoms recur, using the Assisi Loop 2-4 times daily at initial presentation may reduce severity or duration of the symptoms.
15. There should be a minimum of 2 hours between treatments for optimal nitric oxide enhancement.

Important: Before starting treatment, please consult product label for optimal product use and safety guidelines. To learn more about the technology, visit our website.

Battery Life: When the lights are blinking 2-3 times per second, the battery is running low and a new Assisi Loop should be purchased. There should be a minimum of 2 hours between treatments for optimal battery efficiency.
