Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long should I use it for?
It is recommended that you use it for 30 minutes to begin with. You may
then increase the duration and frequency depending on your comfort
level.
Q.
A.
At what intensity level should I use it?
It is advisable to start with a low intensity and increase it gradually,
depending on your comfort level, until you see or feel your foot
and leg muscles contracting and expanding, or feel mild tingling
sensation in your feet.
Q.
A.
Do I need any prescription from a doctor for using the product?
You do not need any prescription from a doctor as it is a safe product
available over-the-counter.
Q.
A.
Can I use the device with pain relief methods?
Yes. You may continue using any other pain relief method or prescription
along with Foot Pulse.
Q.
A.
Are there any side effects of using this product?
The mild current penetrates the body through the skin only to a depth of
1-2 inches. Such a small electrical impulse does not pose any danger nor
does it cause any side effects.
Q.
A.
Can it cause skin irritation?
It is unlikely, but possible in case of certain sensitive skin types. If that
happens, it is advisable to use it for a lesser duration and / or reduce the
intensity.
Q.
A.
What are the patches for?
The patches can be used along with the foot pads to reduce pain or
improve muscle movement in other parts of the body such as shoulders,
back, knees, calves, biceps, triceps and elbows.
Q.
A.

The patches should not be attached to the head, chest, throat, neck and

have been taking medicines prescribed by your doctor then please
continue to do so as per the prescription because this is not intended
to replace any medication.
Q.
A.
Does the Foot Pulse vibrate?
As the Foot Pulse is not a massager, it does not vibrate. Instead, it sends
mild current that stimulates the nerves in the soles of the feet. This
causes normal contraction and expansion of muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is there something wrong with me or the device if one foot feels a
stronger stimulation than the other?
The impulses sent to both the feet are always of the same intensity.
However, sensitivity of both feet is never exactly the same. When
one foot is discernibly more sensitive than the other, the user
experiences a disparity in sensation. In such cases, the intensity should
be kept at a level that makes the more sensitive foot comfortable. The
other foot will be receiving the impulses irrespective of your feeling it.
Q.
A.
Can I use foot pads and electrode pads at the same time?
Yes, you can use them simultaneously or independently.
Q.
A.
My foot is too small or too big for the foot pad on the device. Does this
matter?
No, it does not matter. Just ensure that you place maximum portion of
the soles of your feet on the pad and the device will take care of the
rest.
Q.
A.
Do I need to apply any special cream on the sole before using the
device?
It is recommended to hydrate / moisturise your feet before using the
device. A heel balm is preferable.
Q.
A.
Earlier I could feel the stimulation at much lower intensity but now I
have to increase the intensity a lot more. Is something wrong?
No, nothing is wrong. It is expected that with regular use as your feet
become used to the sensation, you will need slightly higher intensity
of stimulation. However, you need to ensure that you are properly
hydrated and your sole is not dry. So do not forget to apply the heel
balm before using the device.
Q.
A.
Do I need to drink water before using the device?
Yes, it is advisable to keep yourself properly hydrated during the therapy.
So drink sufficient water before and after the therapy.
Q.
A.
What technology is this device using?
The maxmedix Circulator uses EMS, or electromyostimulation. EMS elicits
muscle contraction with electric currents through appropriate body parts,
and has been used by healthcare professionals and athletes around the world.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution Problem Possible Cause Solution
The device does not
vibrate
The electrode pads do
not stick on the body
now
The device is not
designed to vibrate Please refer the FAQs section.
You may have set the
( ) intensity too high for
your own comfort
Adjust and set the
intensity ( )
at a lower level
You are using the device
too frequently Keep sufficient gap between two consecutive
treatments
My legs are aching
after treatment
The device is not being
used correctly Check whether your
hands can feel the
stimulation. To test this,
place both your bare
hands on both the
footpads and increase the
intensity. If you feel the
stimulation then the
device is working fine but
if you do not feel it even
at the highest intensity
then please contact your
authorised dealer.
The device is on (lights
are on) but I cannot
feel anything through
the footpads
Not placing both bare
feet on the foot pads
at the same time
Ensure that both your feet
are bare and they are
placed properly and
simultaneously on the
foot pads. Then
increase the intensity ( )
until you feel the
stimulation.
Your feet may be dry Moisturise the soles of
your feet, preferably with
heel balm to improve its
conductivity with the
electrical impulses.
You may be dehydrated Drink sufficient water
before and after the
treatment. Water being
excellent conductor of
electricity, dehydrated
body (under 60% water)
reduces the impact of
electrical stimulation.
The ( )
intensity level may
be too low
Keep in creasing the
intensity and take it to
the maximum level until
you feel the stimulation.
Do not compare yourself
with other people
who feel the stimulation
at lower level of intensity
because everyone is
different.
The electrode pads will
undergo wear and tear
with regular use. To
improve their longevity,
please ensure that
the skin on which they are
applied is dry, clean and
free of lotions.
Put a few drops of water
on the sticky side of the
pad and rub it on the
surface. This should
improve its stickiness.
Also ensure that the
electrode pads are stuck
on the protective plastic
after use.
If the pads still do not
stick then contact the
authorized dealer to get
them replaced.
