7.3 - PROBE
Remove the probe from the
bag, rinse under tap water if
it is a new probe, then
connect to the leads as
shown in the figure (or in the
instructions in the probe
package). See also § 7.6. If
you want to use the EVO or BFB programs, then
also apply a surface electrode with adhesive gel in
correspondence with a bony prominence (e.g. iliac
crest). This electrode must be connected to the blue
connector ㉕ which is located on the lower right side
of the equipment, using the blue cable supplied.
7.4 - PLACEMENT OF THE PROBE
Moisten the insertable part of the probe with tap
water or water based gel, to improve the conductivity
of electrodes. Gently insert the probe in the vaginal
(or anal) cavity, according to the instructions
included in the package of the probe.
STEP 5 - USING THE UNIT
Read the chapter 8 (OPERATION) and use the unit
according to the therapeutic aims.
7.6 - TYPE OF PROBE VS- WAVE-SHAPE
The stimulation output must be connected, by means
of the included lead wire, to a probe (vaginal or anal).
The cables have two endings to 2mm plug, a red and
a black colour. Using “symmetrical bi-phasic
pulses” ( ), the greater effect will be felt at the
electrode connected with the RED plug. If the
waveform is selected with “bi-phasic alternated
pulses” ( ), there will be no predominance of any
of the two electrodes. In general terms, consider the
followings:
• if the probe has ring-like electrodes, the RED output
of CH1 lead must be connected to the RED connector
of the probe and the suitable wave shape is
“symmetrical bi-phasic pulses” ( ).
• if the probe has lateral electrodes, the suitable
wave-shape is “bi-phasic alternated pulses” ( ).
