Therapy Belt Care, Maintenance  
and Storage

Always detach the Duo-T

ENS

 device from the Therapy Belt before cleaning. 

As  the  connection  cables  are  integrated  into  the  belt,  do  not  pull  on 
the  cables  but  on  the  connectors  attached  to  the  ends  of  the  cables  to 
disconnect the belt from the TENS device.

Clean the therapy belt using a sponge lightly dampened with water. 

!

   Do not wash the belt in water either by hand or machine.

 

Do not use bleach when washing the belt.

 

Do not dry clean your belt.

Do not dry the therapy belt with strong heat (eg. a heater), by tumble drying 
or by ironing as it contains plastic parts which could be damaged.

If the therapy belt becomes damp during use, let it dry naturally, by laying 
the belt out flat or hanging it up to dry completely, before further use. 

Store the therapy belt, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children, and 
away from prolonged heat exposure, dirt and extreme humidity. Ensure the 
therapy belt is properly folded during storage, as shown in Figure 6, to avoid 
damaging the connection cables integrated into the belt.

Don’t fold
