• Only use the nerve stimulator on account of a medical prescrip-
tion; never lend out your TENS device.
• Do not place electrodes on damaged or irritated skin.
• Do not use electrodes with a surface area smaller than 5 cm²,
as there will be a risk of suffering a burn injury. All electrodes
supplied by Van Lent Systemss fulfill this requirement. Caution
should always be exercised with current densities greater than
2 mA/cm².
• Irritation of the skin can be caused by “lengthy” use of small
electrodes and/or an electric current that is too high.
• Do not use on the skull area.
1.7 Maintenance
The i-Pulz stimulator requires little to no maintenance.
• If needed, clean the device with a damp cloth. Never use aggressive
detergents like ether, alcohol or abrasives.
• Never submerge the device in water or in any other liquid. In case it
does get submerged, get the device checked by the manufacturer
or distributor before you use the i-Pulz again.
• The manufacturer advises a technical check up of the device every
5 years.
• You can clean the cables with a damp cloth. The use of aggressive
detergents is not advised, because the cables can get damaged or
rigid, which increases the likelihood of the cables breaking.
• Store the nerve stimulator and its accessories in the original casing.
• If the i-Pulz is to be used on multiple patients then it is necessary to
use new cables and pads each time. Professional hygienic mainte-
nance prior to re-use is not required for the i-Pulz device.
