What to do if stimulation is not felt with Pierenkemper Medical Equipment?

  Billy GreerAug 4, 2025
  If you're not feeling the stimulation or it's not strong enough with your Pierenkemper Medical Equipment, first ensure the electrodes are correctly placed on your skin, maintaining a minimum distance of 2 cm between them to avoid contact. If the intensity is too low, increase it using the appropriate keys until you feel the stimulation well, but without pain or discomfort. Also, weak batteries can cause this issue, so try inserting new batteries or accumulators.

  Jennifer KelleySep 12, 2025
  If the intensity on your Pierenkemper Medical Equipment cannot be set above 4 mA, it could be related to the electrodes or cables. Check that one or both electrodes are correctly placed on the skin and that the cables are properly connected to both the device and the electrodes. Also, ensure all cables are in working order.
