Introduction

Intended User

Device can be used by persons aged 15 and above. Maximum Foot Size: UK-12 or EU-47.

Known Characteristics of Repeat Application of the device

The device can be used not more than 30 minutes, twice daily. The foot pads come in direct contact with the skin.

The electrode patches also come in direct contact with the skin and the patches can be used up to 30 applications.

Principle of Operation

The Circulator works on the two principles i.e. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation).

  • Denotation: P1

    EMS is a protocol that elicits a muscle contraction using electrical impulses that directly stimulate motor neurons. This stimulation creates muscle contractions that can be quick and frequent, fast with long pauses, or contractions that are held for several (uncomfortable) seconds or minutes at a time. Normally, it is your body that fires your muscles by sending electrical impulses from brain through central nervous system (CNS). But an EMS device allows to engage in deep, intense, and complete muscular contractions without actually activating (or stressing) CNS.
  • Denotation: P2

    TENS is a method of electrical stimulation which primarily aims to provide relief by exciting sensory nerves and thereby stimulating either it's gate mechanism and/or the opioid system. The type of stimulation delivered by the TENS unit aims to excite (stimulate) the sensory nerves, and by doing so, activate specific natural relief mechanisms. The unit sends light electrical pulses into the body through the skin via footpads and electrode patches which are placed over peripheral nerves. This device is designed with specific pulse frequency and pulse length that are suitable for its intended use.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Leg pain after use of device You may have set the intensity too high. Adjust and set the intensity at a lower level (where you can feel the mild electrical stimulation & it is comfortable).
You are using this device too frequently. Keep sufficient gap between two consecutive treatments to allow the muscles to recover. Reduce the duration until your muscles have acclimatized to the stimulation.
The device turns on, but does not generate electric impulse
The device is not being used correctly. Check whether your hands can feel the stimulation. To test this, place both your bare hands on both the footpads and increase the intensity. If you feel the stimulation then the device is working fine but if you do not feel it even at the highest intensity then please contact your authorised dealer.
Not placing both bare feet on the foot pads at the same time. Ensure that both your feet are bare and they are placed properly and simultaneously on the foot pads. Then increase the intensity until you feel the stimulation.
The intensity level may be too low. Keep increasing the intensity and take it to the maximum level until you feel the stimulation. Do not compare yourself with other people who feel the stimulation at lower level of intensity because everyone is different.
Electrodes patches cable broken. Replace the cable.
Electrodes patches cable not connected properly. Connect the cable properly.
The device turns on, but does not generate electric impulse Your feet may be dry. Moisturize the soles of your feet to improve conductivity and stimulation and try the procedure again. You may also have to increase the intensity level.
You may be dehydrated. Drink plenty of water before and after using the device. The device uses your body to create the electrical circuit. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and if your body is less hydrated (below 60%) then the stimulation may be less, therefore it is important to always remain well hydrated.
The device does not turn on/ No indication of light Batteries not recharged. Recharge the batteries.
The device does not vibrate The device is not designed to vibrate.
The device turns on and then goes off again Batteries not recharged. Recharge the batteries.

FAQs

Q. How long should I use it?
A. It is recommended that you use it for 30 minutes to begin with. You may then increase the duration and frequency depending on your comfort level.

Q. At what intensity level should I use it?
A. It is advisable to start with low intensity and increase it gradually depending on your comfort level or until you see or feel mild tingling sensation in your feet.

Q. Are there any side effects of using this product?
A. The mild current penetrates the body through the skin only to a depth of 1-2 inches. Such a small electrical impulse does not pose any danger nor does it cause any side effects.

Q. Can it cause skin irritation?
A. It is unlikely, but possible in case of certain sensitive skin types. If that happens, it is advisable to use it for a lesser duration and / or reduce the intensity. If the problem persists, please consult with your doctor.

Q. Are there any areas where I should not use the patches?
A. The patches should not be attached to the head, chest, throat, neck and face as it is unsafe.
Also, do not use them on open wounds, broken or bleeding skin and directly on the bones.

Q. Is there something wrong with me or the device if one foot feels a stronger stimulation than the other?
A. The impulses sent to both the feet are always of the same intensity. However, sensitivity of both the feet is never exactly the same. When one foot is discernibly more sensitive than the other, the user experiences a disparity in sensation. In such cases, the intensity should be kept at a level that makes the more sensitive foot comfortable. The other foot will be receiving the impulses irrespective of your feeling it.

Q. Earlier I could feel the stimulation at much lower intensity but now I have to increase the intensity a lot more. Is something wrong?
A. No, nothing is wrong. It is expected that with regular use as your feet condition improves, you will need slightly higher intensity of stimulation. However, you need to ensure that you are properly hydrated and your sole is not dry. So do not forget to apply the heel balm before using the device.

Q. Can I use foot pads and electrode pads at the same time?
A. Yes, you can use them simultaneously or independently. Follow the steps for using the foot pads and then follow the steps for using the electrode patches.
