Using Your SensaTONE for PFS

PFS - Pelvic Floor Stimulation

a) Switch the unit on by pressing the Power Key

button. The SensaTONE will always start up in

Mode A.

b) The SensaTONE has four preset programmes: 

Mode A

- Urge Incontinence

Mode B

- Stress Incontinence

Mode C

- Mixed Incontinence

Mode D

- After Care

c) Select the mode most appropriate for your type

of  incontinence  by  pressing  the  ‘MODE’  key.

Please refer to page 9 if you are unsure of which

mode to use.

d) Now  begin  by  pressing  the  ‘intensity  up’  key.

Each  time  you  press  this  key,  you  will  see  the

intensity level increase on the LCD.

e) Gradually increase the ‘intensity up’ key until you

comfortably feel your muscles contracting. If the

sensation  feels  too  strong,  simply  press  the

‘intensity down’ key minimise the feeling.

f ) Modes  A,  B  and  C  all  have  fixed  programme

times. The  SensaTONE  will  automatically  switch

off  once  the  programme  is  complete.  Mode  D

does not have a fixed programme time. Refer to

page 9 for more information about Mode D.

g) After  use,  always  remember  to  ensure  that  the

SensaTONE  is  switched  off.  Remove  the

SensaTONE  probe  from  your  body,  disconnect

the leads and then clean it in accordance with the

above  instructions  found  on  page  6  or  in  the

SensaTONE probe instruction manual.

The SensaTONE should NOT be used:

• During pregnancy

• During the menstrual period

• If you suffer a urinary or vaginal infection

• At the same time as a barrier contraceptive

device such as a diaphragm or cervical cap

Before first use of the SensaTONE, please
familiarise yourself with the ‘Precautions and
Contraindications’ contained on page 4.
