desired depth.
Note: Sometimes the wearing
of tight fitting undergarments or
a tight pair of jeans will help to
keep the probe in place and maintain
correct contact during the programme.
For Faecal incontinence, the aim is to
stimulate the external sphincter and/or
pubo-rectal muscle,
electrodes should be placed so that the
external ring is just inside the sphincter.
For Urinary Stress incontinence, the
aim is to stimulate the levator muscles
and the probe should be inserted
deeper.

14. CLEANING

It is important that the probe is cleaned
after each use. Clean with either an
alcohol-free antibacterial wipe such as
TensCare Wipes (see X-WIPES) or by
wiping with warm soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly and return the unit
to the storage pouch. Do not immerse
the probe in a liquid.
Clean the case of the unit and lead wire
at least once a week using the same
method.
• Do not immerse your Elise unit in
water.
• Do not use any other cleaning
solution.
