Programme C - TensCare perfect mamaTENS Instructions D'utilisation

Note: If the lower electrode
pads feel stronger then the
upper ones then the leads have
probably been incorrectly inserted into
the Perfect mamaTENS. To correct
this, change over the leads as per
section 6, and reset the intensity.
Again, there are two modes, B1 and
B2.
The second mode B2 is triggered by
pressing the BOOST button when you
experience a strong contraction. This
mode provides a constant tingling
sensation. When
passes, press the BOOST button once
more and your Perfect mamaTENS
unit will change back to mode B1.

7.3. PROGRAMME C

If you find programs A and B do not
meet your needs for pain relief there is
a third program C, which provides a
higher level of pain relief.
Press the programme button P again
and this will take you to programme C
which will be displayed on the screen as
C. To avoid discomfort with the change
in programme, the set intensity will drop
by half. This programme has 60 steps
of intensity. Press and release the ▲
button until you reach a comfortable
intensity setting. This is a very natural
way for you to control your pain as you
rapidly increase and decrease the
intensity to match the strength of your
contractions.
Again, there are two modes, C and C
UP (Active Power Ramp mode).
However, this time mode C is constant.
Pressing the BOOST button starts the
the contraction
12
Active Power Ramp mode which
ramps the power or level of intensity
during the final contractions to give the
additional "Brief intense" pain relief.
In between contractions use the ▲ and
▼ buttons until you reach a comfortable
level. When you
contraction just press the BOOST
button down and HOLD IT.
The intensity will increase until you
release the BOOST button because the
intensity may become too much to bear.
When you release, the intensity will
drop rapidly and
background setting you pre-selected.
As it falls, you can press and hold the
BOOST button again to keep the
intensity at a fixed level to the end of
your contraction.
When instructed to start 'pushing' you
can use the programme button P to
switch Perfect mamaTENS back to
programme A.
Just remember the three programmes
A, B and C which you can choose at
any time as your labour progresses,
and when you need a boost, just press
the BOOST button.
TENS can be used for as long as it is
necessary. Continuous treatment is
fine, but, except during labour, the
electrode pads should be repositioned
regularly (about every 12 hours) to
allow the skin to be exposed to the air.
