Direct TENS
™
Taking care of and cleaning the Direct TensTM equipment is simple with the following instructions:
• Keep stimulator and accessories in the original case when they are not in use. It may, however, be
practical to allow the electrodes to remain on the body between treatments. Carbon rubber electrodes
can generally remain for 2-3 hours without the electrode gel drying out (does not apply to adhesive gel).
They must then be taken o, washed, and dried before being applied again. This is especially important
for persons with sensitive skin. In connection with stimulation, make sure that the electrodes are firmly in
place.
• When using carbon rubber electrodes, use plenty of electrode gel and avoid drying out by applying tape
around all the edges of the electrodes. Rinse the carbon rubber electrodes and the skin with water after
use. Do not use detergent for the electrodes.
• Self-adhesive multi-use electrodes are re-moistened if necessary with a few drops of water and kept
airtight (in a plastic bag) on protective paper when they are not in use.
• Never expose the stimulator to water. Wipe it o with a damp cloth if necessary.
• Do not jerk cables or connections.
• The cables are best preserved if left attached to the stimulator between sessions.
• No other maintenance of the device is required. Service life of the device can vary depending on usage
conditions. Typical service life ifs 7 years.
• Never service the device while in use
• The device should be operated in temperatures between 10°C and 40°C, atmospheric pressures between
50 and 106 kPa, and relative humidity between 30% and 75%.
• The device should be transported and stored in temperatures between -40 °C and 70 °C, atmospheric
pressures between 50 and 106 kPa and relative humidity between 10% and 90%.
• Contact manufacturer for assistance in setting up, using or maintaining the equipment or report events.
