Tomsk Autonomous Electrostimulator of Gastrointestinal Tract

Below we translate the front of the Tomsk unit packaging (or "PDP" - principal display panel), as well as the reverse - from Russian into English.


The translation of the Tomsk units' packaging is rendered below. Note that all three units have very similar language - and virtually the same instructions. We group the language into three areas -- numbered (1), (2), and (3).
(1) ---- This descriptive is already rendered roughly in English to the left of the Russian. The six cyrillic characters at the top of the package stand for "Autonomous Electrostimulator (AEC) of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT)" -- just as you see at the top of this page and in off-white text to the left of the cyrillic below it. The chromium and zinc coated units add, "With endogenous electrophoresis (or cataphoresis) of chromium (or zinc, if zinc-coated unit) ions (by Agafonnikov)." (Apparently, the Russian scientist to whom credit is bestowed for having invented the Tomsk units bears the last name, Agafonnikov). The "11 MO.089.311.TY" is the code for the "Technical Requirements" (the TY is pronounced "TEE-OU" in Russian, not "TEE-WHY" -- the "OU" as you say "yOU" without the letter "y" ... you see this quite a bit and it presents the regulatory number under which product is made. It reflects HOW the product is made and allows it to be legally sold in Russia).
The yellow text below it translates as: "Manufactured in: Russia - Tomsk" (a major industrial and technical center in the Ural Mountains of Russia - located in the southeast area of Western Siberia - see clickable map of Russia and you'll find "TOM" region northeast of Kazahkhsthan (sic)), "Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, 99a" (the address of the manufacturer), and finally the acronym for the manufacturing company itself: "GNPP - 'NIIPP'" or "State Scientific and Production Enterprise." There name implies both the scientific research and production components of the enterprise. Below that the model number assigned to the unit is given: "AKO3752."
(2) ---- The second section is simple and straight-forward: "State License No. 30-03/223 of June 20, 1995." This simply gives the number under which this device is legally registered with the Russian Federation's Ministry of Health (the rough equivalent of the "U.S. Food & Drug Administration" in the States) and the date this device first received its license.
(3) ---- Here you see English translations beneath the Russian. The last two translations are awkward in English. Better translations would be "Stimulates Vitality" in the second line; "Immunity Boosting", in the third. At the very bottom left in yellow Cyrillic letters (partially covered, below the plastic casing), the tranlation would be 'energy of renewal,' or less awkwardly, "Replenishes Your Energy."
The black letters on the plastic casing (hard to read, as it was difficult to focus) contains four elements: a repeat of the description (Autonomus Electrostimulator...), the comment "Quality Check Passed" (a quality assurance statement on the left side panel), a "best used before" followed by a date (a shelf-stability delimiter, found on the right side panel), and finally, again on the face, the "TY" regulatory number (see above).
Differences between models: The language is nearly the same (you can see this for yourself in closeups of the Basic stainless steel model (our #1210), the Chromium-plated model (#1215), and the Zinc-plated model (#1220) ... also view composite closeup). The only substantive difference is the regulatory number through which the unit is sold with the blessings of the Russian Federation's Ministry of Health.

Translation of Back Panel Instructions


The instructions on the back of the package read as follows: "Approved for medical application for single use. Non-Toxic. Apyrogenic (fever reducing)."
"For isolated electric stimulation of stomach, duodenum, pancreatic duct, extra-liver tracts, small intestines, colon during various diseases."
"To check operation of the electrostimulator, touch the caps of "AES GIT" with the indicator's contacts; in one of the positions, the indicator should blink once every 3 minutes."
"YOUR BODY WILL HEAL ITSELF WITH THE HELP OF AES GIT, which will awaken and synchronize healthy powers and rhythms of your body, normalize its internal organs' activity. The most important effect is the self-detoxification and self-cleansing of the organism DUE TO THE RECOVERY OF NORMAL FUNCTI0N OF THE ENTIRE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT."
