The MEDISANA TDP can be used for all kinds of pain or for building up mus-
cles, for long-term therapy as well as for acute treatment.
PLEASE NOTE!
• Observe your doctor's precise instructions and let him show you where
to apply the electrodes. For a successful therapy, the correct position
of the electrodes is an important factor. Carefully write down the set-
tings of frequency, pulse width and current selection your doctor recom-
mended. For this, you should take your MEDISANA TDP to the doctor
so that he can show you the settings.
Special textbooks provide you with detailed information concerning the subject
"pain, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)", concerning indica-
tions and the exact electrode application for an effective success of treatment
as well as recommendations for the programs to use and notes on the settings
of frequency, pulse width, time of therapy and current selection.
At the upper side of the device there are two sockets for the connection of elec-
trode lines. The left socket
Connect at least one of the lines by putting the cable tightly into the socket. At
the other end of the cable, you fasten one electrode each.
Place the electrode(s) according to your area of pain (observe your doctor's
instructions).
The device must be deactivated before applying the electrodes!
• Before applying the electrodes, remove residual skin cream or ointment.
The skin has to be dry and free of fat.
• Do not place the electrodes on injured or infi amed skin areas (wounds,
pimples, skin rashs, reddenings etc.).
• Always place the electrodes according to the doctor's instructions be-
fore you switch on the device.
In most cases, the electrodes are placed near the area of pain or directly on
the aching spot.
• For the muscle stimulating program, observe your doctor's instructions con-
cerning the polarity.
• If you are not sure how to place the electrode's polarity, exchange the red
(positive pole, anode) and white (negative pole, cathode) connectors at the
electrodes after half of the therapy time.
Feel for the area of pain, place one electrode directly on it and the second one
to the periphery of the area of pain or, on arms and legs directly opposite.
