Operating Instructions

Once the lead wires are securely connected to both the electrodes and the TENS/NMES unit, you can proceed with operating your stimulation device. Always refer to your specific TENS/NMES device's instruction manual for detailed operating procedures, intensity settings, and treatment durations.

• Ensure the TENS/NMES unit is turned off before connecting or disconnecting lead wires or electrodes.
• Gradually increase stimulation intensity to a comfortable level as per your device's instructions.
• Monitor electrode adhesion and lead wire connections throughout the treatment session.
• If you experience any discomfort or unusual sensations, reduce the intensity or stop the treatment immediately.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the lead wires with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the wires in water. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.
• Storage: Coil the lead wires loosely and store them in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal wiring.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the lead wires for any signs of wear and tear. Replace them immediately if any damage is observed to ensure safe and effective therapy.
