The duration of treatment during a session will remain at 30 active minutes
of stimulation. For example, if the treatment is paused for 5 minutes, the total
duration of the session would be 35 minutes.
13.2 - Pausing and Resuming a Treatment Session
It is recommended to complete each treatment in a single, continuous 30-minute session
to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.
However, the treatment session can be paused at any time by pressing the Pause Button.
The Treatment Indicator will pulse white instead of rotating around the display.
The treatment session will automatically pause if the Tonguetip loses contact with the tongue
for more than 30 seconds.
To resume treatment, press the Play Button while also ensuring that the Tonguetip is in contact
with the tongue.
If you do pause a treatment session, it is recommended that you resume again within 5 minutes.
It is also recommended that you do not pause the treatment more than once within a single
treatment session in order to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.
13.3 - Adjusting the Stimulation Levels
13.3.1 - Tonguetip Stimulation Level Control
It is recommended to leave the tongue stimulation level set to the default level unless either:
•
There is a strong sensation from the Tonguetip that causes discomfort. In this case the tongue
stimulation level can be adjusted downwards to a comfortable level.
•
There is a weaker tongue sensation than was perceived during the initial training you received
as part of the device fitting. In this case the tongue stimulation level may be adjusted upwards.
The tongue stimulation is calibrated to your sensation thresholds during
device fitting by the clinician. The treatment stimulation is then set to be
sufficient for optimum effectiveness and may not be perceptible. If the
stimulation level is set to the default level (i.e. the level that the device defaults
to at the start of each treatment session), then the stimulation is functioning
properly as long as the Tonguetip Indicator is illuminated green (i.e. when it is
not pulsing).
