7.3 Custom
Programs
With the TensMed S84 it is possible to create and store 15 custom programs for patient-specific
treatment.
To create a custom program, follow the programming procedure below. To use a custom program,
follow the instructions in the CHAPTER 5.4 and 5.5
8 ACCESSORIES
The TensMed electrodes will eventually wear out and have to be replaced. It is recommended to
replace the electrodes after approximately 20–40 times of usage.
The cables are best preserved if left attached to the stimulator between sessions.

9 MAINTENANCE
Taking care of and cleaning the Enraf-Nonius equipment is simple with the following instructions:
•
Keep stimulator and accessories in the original case when they are not in use. It may,
however, be practical to allow the electrodes to remain on the body between treatments.
Carbon rubber electrodes can generally remain for 2–3 hours without the electrode gel drying
out (does not apply to adhesive gel). They must then be taken off, washed, and dried before
being applied again. This is especially important for persons with sensitive skin. In
connection with stimulation, make sure that the electrodes are firmly in place.
•
When using carbon rubber electrodes, use plenty of electrode gel and avoid drying out by
applying tape around all the edges of the electrodes. Rinse the carbon rubber electrodes and
the skin with water after use. Do not use detergent for the electrodes.
Self-adhesive multi-use electrodes are re-moistened if necessary with a few drops of water
and kept air-tight (in a plastic bag) on protective paper when they are not in use.
•
Never expose the stimulator to water. Wipe it off with a damp cloth if necessary.
•
Do not jerk cables or connections.
•
Do not bending the patient cables to mush when rolling them around the stimulator..

TROUBLESHOOTING
THE STIMULATION DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME AS USUAL
•
Check that all settings are correct (see section STEP-BY-STEP-USE) and make sure that
the electrodes are correctly placed.
•
Slightly change the position of the electrodes.
THE STIMULATION FEELS UNPLEASANT
•
The skin is irritated. For advice on skin care, see chapter PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.
•
The electrodes begin to lose their stickiness and do not stick properly to the skin. Moisten the
adhesive surface with a few drops of water before placing on the skin.
•
The electrodes are worn out and need to be replaced.
•
There is insufficient electrode gel on the carbon rubber electrodes.
•
Slightly change the position of the electrodes.
