Impulse intensity
Setting the intensity levels depends on the
individual sensitivity of each user and is
determined by a variety of variables, such as
site of application, blood circulation to the
skin, skin thickness, and the quality of the electrode contact. The
setting used should be effective but should never cause pain at
the site of application. While a gentle tingling indicates sufficient
stimulation energy levels, any setting that causes pain should
be avoided. Longer applications may require readjustments
due to the adjustment processes over time at the application
site.
Cycled impulse parameter variation
In many cases, it is necessary to cover the overall tissue
structure at the site of application by applying several impulse
parameters. In the digital EMS/TENS unit, this is achieved by
the provided programs that automatically make a cyclical
impulse parameter change. This also prevents individual
muscle groups at the site of application being affected by
fatigue.
This digital EMS/TENS unit provides sensible default current
parameter settings. With this, you can change the impulse
intensity at any time during use. For six programs, you can also
set various parameters for stimulation yourself.
13. Care, Maintenance and Disposal
Gel pads
1. To maximize the life of the gel pads, clean them carefully
with a damp, lint-free cloth or clean the underside of the
electrodes under warm running water and pat dry with a
lint-free cloth.
2. Before cleaning with water, remove the connection cables
from the device.
3. Reapply the electrodes to the carrier foil of the gel pads
following treatment.
Cleaning the device
1. Shut the device off before cleaning. Clean the device after
use with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it is very dirty, you can
also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution.
2. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents. Ensure
that no water enters the device.
Reusing the device
Once it has been properly prepared, the device can be used
again. Preparation includes replacement of the treatment
electrodes as well as cleaning the surface of the device using
a cloth moistened with a mild soapy solution.
Storage
•
Do not make sharp bends in the connection cables and
electrodes.
•
Disconnect the connection cables from the device.
•
Reapply the electrodes to the carrier foil of the gel pads after
use.
•
Store the device and accessories in a cool, well-ventilated
space.
•
Never place any heavy objects on the device.
In order to achieve as long a battery service life as
possible, fully charge the battery at least every 6 months.
