Step 5: To test the unit is working – hold the probe in your hand –
hold the probe tightly, covering as much of the metal plates on the
probe with your skin as possible. Increase the intensity by pressing
the + button until you can feel the stimulation.
Note: Once you have passed 20.0mA, if you were to let go of the
probe and break the contact between the probe and your skin, an
alarm will sound and 'leads' will appear on the screen. This is a safety
feature which doesn't allow current to flow through the probe when
there is poor contact between your skin and the probe.
14.2 PREPARING FOR THE TRAINING SESSION
Caution: Ensure the "Elise" is switched OFF before
inserting the probe.
• Before using "Elise" Pelvic Floor Exerciser you will need to visit the
toilet.
• Lubricate the metal electrode surfaces and probe tip with a
proprietary jelly, such as TensCare Go Gel or waterbased lubricant, or
water.
Caution: Do not use a silicone based lubricant on the
stimulation contacts as it may decrease the effectiveness
of the Elise's muscle stimulation.
• Choose a comfortable position, such as leaning back or lying down
on your bed with your knees raised.
• After wires are securely connected, insert the probe into the vagina,
in the same way as a tampon, with the two silver plates side to side:
one plate on left and the other on the right, until only the flange at the
end is visible. The probe will naturally position itself with the widest
part of the flange vertically
The metal parts conduct the electrical
.
pulse and should be in contact with the main part of the muscle at all
times.

FLANGE
NB: The flange should not be inserted into the vagina and should
remain outside of the vagina at all times.
Caution: The Liberty vaginal probe that is supplied with the
"Elise" is intended strictly for single person use. Do not share
your probe with anyone else as cross-infection may occur.
14.3 TRAINING SESSION
1) Press and hold the "ON" button on the control unit for at least 3
seconds to switch the control unit on.
When switched on for the first time, the "Elise" will automatically
select the 'STRES' program. After that it will automatically select
the program you were using the last time it was switched off.
2) You can select from the four pre-set programs. Details in section
8 will help you identify the best program to suit you.
3) With the required program selected, you can adjust the intensity
of the muscle stimulation until you reach a comfortable level. Once
you have reached a comfortable level, 5 seconds after you stop
pressing the button, the intermittent work/rest phase will start. The
machine will take itself to 00.0mA for a rest period and then take
itself back up to the level of intensity you chose, to work the muscle.
This cycle will continue for the 20 minute program.
Note: The strength required varies widely between users - some will
use the "Elise" at full power - 99.5. The "Elise" strength will go up at
0.5 increments.
