Electrode Pads - TensCare perfect mamaTENS Instructions D'utilisation

8. ELECTRODE PADS

The electrode pads must always be
used in pairs (two electrode pads on
each channel), so that the signal can
flow in a circuit.
The electrode pads need to be placed
over the junctions of the nerves joining
the womb and birth canal to the spinal
cord. Correct positioning of the pads will
give maximum pain relief so please
study the images in section 11 and then
follow these instructions.
Always check that the unit is OFF
before attaching
electrode pads.
Perfect mamaTENS resets strength
to zero if the pad or lead is
disconnected from your body. This
is to prevent sudden changes in
sensation when the pad is re-
connected.
ELECTRODE PADS ADVICE:
• The electrode pads supplied are
reusable but for single patient use.
The adhesive is a peelable hydrogel
(water based).
• In order to obtain
conductivity through the electrode
pads always ensure that they are in
good condition and tacky.
• Before use make sure your skin is
clean and dry.
• Peel the electrode pads from their
protective plastic shield by holding
and lifting one corner of the pad and
pulling. Do not pull on the pigtail wire
of the pad.
• After use always
electrode pads on the plastic liner

If using before or after labour:
• If the electrode pads dry out, then it
is best to buy a replacement pack. In
an emergency, it may be possible to
restore some of the tackiness of the
pad by adding a tiny drop of water on
each pad and spreading around. If
too much water is added, the
electrode pad will become too soft. If
that happens then it is suggested in
order to try and re-establish some
adhesiveness, to place them sticky
side up in a refrigerator for a few
hours.
• In very hot weather the gel on the
electrode pads may become soft. In
such cases place them, still on their
plastic liners and in their pouch into
a fridge until they return to their
normal condition.
• The electrode pads provided are
latex-free.
• Replace the electrode pads when
they lose their stickiness.
