feel the stimulation in their hand at around
25.0 mA.
ii) If the LEADS alarm shows and the unit will not
allow you to pass 20.0 mA. The lead wires
need to be replaced.
If you have tried the test
above and DO have
sensation when the probe is
in your hand, then it may be
that:
2. The skin is dry, meaning
poor conductivity between
the metal plates on the probe
and your skin.
If this happens, you can try the below solutions:
i) Using a water–based lubricant such as
TensCare Go Gel (see K-GO ), which will
improve conduction.
ii) Crossing your legs and squeezing to
increase pressure on the probe, which
should improve the connection. If this
enables you to use the unit, you should find
that in a few weeks of stimulation the contact
improves. If it does not, this unit may not be
suitable for you. You may need to contact
your healthcare professional to discuss
other suitable options.
iii) The probe supplied with the unit has a 28
mm diameter. An optional 32 mm probe, part
no. X-VPM , is available.
No sensation
and no LEADS
alarm showing
Intensity level is not high
enough and/or reduced
sensitivity in the area being
treated.
i) Please make sure you are increasing the
intensity high enough. Most people will start
to feel the stimulation in their hand at around
25.0 mA and with the probe inserted you will
need to increase the intensity higher to
around 40.0 mA – 60.0 mA. Max power is
99.0 mA. Everyone is different so just keep
increasing the intensity until you can feel it.
The intensity increases in very small steps of
00.5 mA.
ii) You may have reduced sensitivity due to
previously damaged or desensitised
pudendal nerves (this can happen in
childbirth or some surgical procedures).
Please consult your healthcare professional.
No sensation
on one side of
the probe (or
electrode)
Position is not optimal –
needs adjusting.
The current flows from one side of the probe to
the other, so it is not possible to have one side
“not working”. However, the strength of the
sensation depends on how close to the nerve
the current flows, and also in which direction it
flows relative to the nerve. You can try slightly
adjusting the position on the probe, or
exchanging the connection of the wires in the
probe.
