Recording Treatment
Before turning off the TENS device, you may want to record the location of the electrodes,
the settings of all controls and any progress achieved. Good record keeping will help when
resuming treatment or reviewing progress with your clinician. If after several treatments you
do not achieve pain relief, consult your clinician for new electrode placement or stimulation
program alternatives.
Ending Treatment
1. Turn the device off. Disconnect the lead wires, grasping them by the
insulated connector, not the lead wire.
NOTE:
Turning the unit off will end the treatment and save the following
information for data retrieval: number of sessions, total time of all
sessions, average session length, and the average intensity used for each
channel.
2. Remove the electrodes carefully from your skin, peeling them off
gently in the direction that body hair lies. The electrodes may be left in
place if treatment will be resumed shortly.
3. After the electrodes are removed, clean the skin thoroughly with mild
soap and water. For electrode storage and care, refer to electrode
packaging for instructions.
NOTE:
The Select will automatically shut off when both channels are at a zero intensity for
one (1) minute or if the batteries are low.
Beginning Treatment
After inserting the batteries, connecting the electrodes, connecting the lead wires,
preparing the skin, and applying the electrodes, you are ready to begin your therapy
session. For button identification information, refer to
Device Physical Features
in the
System Components
section of this manual.
NOTE:
Most therapy sessions are for 30 to 120 minutes with 30 to 60 minutes between
sessions. Follow your clinician’s instructions.
1. Press the Channel 1 and Channel 2 intensity controls until the
stimulation is strong but comfortable. It is important that you can feel
the stimulation.
2. The On/Off indicator lights should be on. The LCD display will show a
low battery icon to indicate low battery status.
CAUTION:
Always turn the Select device off when changing the battery.
3. The output of the device may decrease slightly during stimulation as the
batteries wear down. If this happens, you may need to increase the intensity
slightly to maintain adequate stimulation.
Data Retrieval
When the unit is in Data Retrieval mode, the user can cycle through several codes that
contain information saved from treatments.
With the unit off, pressing the On/Off button while holding down the Mode button will
take you to the Data Retrieval screen. The “Data” text icon will appear. Pressing the Mode
button will cycle through the data saved on the unit.
•
SES
– The number of sessions (maximum 255). Sessions are counted only when
intensity is
≥
3.0. “SES” will be displayed on the left side of the screen while the
number of sessions will be displayed to the right of it.
•
HrS
– The total time of all sessions (hours – maximum 999). “HrS” will be displayed
on the left side of the screen while the time will be displayed to the right of it in the
format “hours.”
•
ASL
– The average session length (hours and tenths of hours). “ASL” will be
displayed on the left side of the screen while the session length will be displayed
to the right of it in the format “hours . tenth of hours”.
•
Channel 1
– The Channel 1 text icon will be displayed along with the average
intensity for Channel 1.
Using the Timer
Your Select device has a timer that can be set from one to 60 minutes.
1. With the device turned on, press the Set button until the screen displays “dur” to the
left and “Off” to the right. (The number of times Set button needs to be pressed to reach
this screen will vary depending on the mode selected.)
2. When this screen is displayed, press the Channel 2 up button to set the number of
minutes you want the Select to run. The timer can be set in one-minute increments, up to
60 minutes. To decrease the number of minutes, press the Channel 2 down button until
the desired timing for your treatment is reached.
3. Once the desired time is set or (the timer is turned Off), press the Mode button to
return the device to the normal treatment screen. After the treatment session has started,
the keypad will lock in 15 seconds. Pressing either the Channel 1 or Channel 2 up button
after the keypad locks will toggle the screen between the treatment screen and the
timer screen.
4. To unlock the keypad, press either Channel 1 or Channel 2 down button. To return to the
timer screen, press the Set button as in step 1. To cancel the treatment program at any
time, simply turn the device Off.
5. When timed treatment is complete, the device will automatically turn Off; remove and
store electrodes.
