about 10 cm, above the negative
electrode as shown below.
Choose the programmes 11 or 12
(
TIBN 1 or TIBN 2 ). Adjust intensity
level until you see your toes moving,
then reduce 1 or 2 mA. Use for 20
minutes once or twice daily.
The Sure PRO will send an electrical
impulse to the nerve. This nerve
impulse is then transmitted to the sacral
plexus which regulates the control of
bladder and pelvic floor muscles.
Warning: The TIBN 1 and
TIBN 2 programmes are
designed to be used only with
self-adhesive electrode pads. Using
these programmes with a vaginal probe
could produce a too strong and
unpleasant stimulation.
When you select the TIBN 1 or TIBN 2
programmes, the intensity freezes to 1,
the warning triangle flashes and the
buttons
Ch1
▲ and
Ch2
▲ are locked.

10.4. MANUAL PROGRAMMES
Warning: Consult your
healthcare professional before
using
these programmes.
Correct settings depend on your muscle
tone and exercise goals. Inappropriate
settings could cause discomfort or
muscle
injury or aggravate Urge
incontinence.
The programmes 13, 14 and 15
(respectively
CSTM 1 , CSTM 2 , CSTM
3 ) are the manual programmes.
The effect of electrical stimulation on
the body depends on a number of
settings. In these programmes you can
adjust the following:
Pulse waveform
This describes the time function of the
excitation current which may be either
monophasic
or biphasic. With
monophasic pulse trains, the current
flows in one direction. With biphasic
pulses, the excitation current alternates
its direction. The
Sure PRO uses only
biphasic pulse trains as they reduce the
strain on the muscle, leading to less
muscle fatigue as well as safer
application, and reduce the risk of skin
irritation under the electrode.
Pulse Frequency
Frequency indicates the number of
individual pulses per second and is
indicated in Hz (Hertz= pulses per
second). It can be calculated by
working out the inverse value of the
periodic time.
Different types of muscle fibres react
preferentially to different frequencies:
Slow-response fibres tend to react to
lower pulse frequencies up to 15Hz,
while fast- response fibres only
respond to frequencies over approx.
35Hz.
