HOW DOES INNOVO®WORK?
Types of Urinary Incontinence
Stress Incontinence
If you find that you leak when you cough, sneeze or exercise, this is known as stress incontinence. This happens
when the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, are weakened or damaged. Programme 1 on INNOVO®
strengthens the pelvic floor by delivering comfortable stimulation through the INNOVO®Shorts.
If you haven’t used this type of muscle stimulation before, the idea may seem a little strange and the sensation
unusual, but there is no need to be concerned - your body will soon get used to this new sensation of your pelvic
floor muscles contracting and relaxing. Regularly applying this cycle of contraction and relaxation will help to
improve your pelvic floor muscle tone, strength, endurance and overall control.
Urge Incontinence
If you find that you often experience a sudden and urgent desire to pass urine and sometimes leak, this is known
as urge incontinence. This is caused by overactivity in the muscle mechanism that controls bladder function.
Programme 2 on INNOVO® delivers a gentle signal to the nerve that controls this muscle mechanism, helping to
control the overactivity. The sensation experienced when using INNOVO®to treat urge incontinence is a tapping
sensation directly under the electrodes which are activated when using Programme 2.
Mixed Incontinence
It is common for women and men to experience symptoms of both urge and stress incontinence. This condition
is called mixed incontinence. Usually, one type is more bothersome than the other. Treatment for mixed
incontinence consists of a combination of the stress and urge programmes.
For further treatment/programme information please see page 11.
After completing your treatment plan After completing your 12 week Innovotherapy plan, you should continue to
use Innovo to help maintain a healthy pelvic floor. How frequently you should use INNOVO®will depend on your
specific condition and improvement rate. As a general guide we would recommend you continue to use INNOVO®
1-2 times a week. This will ensure that the results achieved during the 12 week program will be sustained. One of
the major advantages of using INNOVO®is that you will have an improved awareness of your pelvic floor, so you
can also maintain a healthy pelvic floor by doing daily pelvic floor exercises.

• Simultaneous connection of a patient to high-frequency surgical equipment may result in burns at the site of the
gel pads and possible damage to the controller.
• The product must not be used with any other product which delivers electrical current to the body (e.g.
interferential or another muscle stimulator).
• Stimulation should not be applied across or through the head, directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the
front of the neck, (especially the carotid sinus), or from gel pads placed on or across the chest and the upper
back or crossing over the heart.
• Stimulation applied near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation (cardiac arrhythmias), due to the
introduction of electrical current into the heart.
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
• Do not apply over areas of skin which lack normal sensation.
• Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin
eruptions (e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins), or areas that have underwent recent surgery.

STEP 1: CHARGER ASSEMBLY
Select the correct adapter for your country.
1. Align the adapter with the charger. The word “TOP” is
embossed on the charger and the adapters to show the
correct orientation (Fig. 3).
2. Place the “TOP” end of the adapter into the adapter recess,
press the other end firmly into the recess (Fig. 4). The adapter
will click into place.
3. Ensure the adapter is firmly assembled before plugging the
charger into an electrical outlet.
Important:
When disconnecting the adapter from the charger, always hold the
adapter before disengaging the “OPEN” button, to stop the adapter
springing away from the charger.
STEP 2: GETTING STARTED WITH INNOVO®
1. Before you start a treatment session, please ensure that the battery is
sufficiently charged. If the battery charge is low, connect the charger to
the controller and plug it into an electrical socket. You will need to move
the sliders inwards to enable you to do this (Fig. 5). You should charge the
battery for approximately 5 hours from flat. It is fully charged when all 5 bars
of the battery symbol ( ) on the display screen are visible. A full charge
should be sufficient to complete approximately 5 sessions.
2. Make sure your skin is clean and free from oils, lotions, moisturisers etc as these
may prevent the Shorts from functioning correctly.
3. We recommend that you wear high-thigh underwear which leaves your buttocks
exposed, as the electrodes need to be in full contact with your skin to deliver
the INNOVO®treatment programmes successfully (Fig. 6). Alternatively, you can
also use INNOVO®without underwear. It is advised that you use the toilet before
starting a treatment session.
4. Follow this instruction manual and the Quick Start Guide carefully to ensure you
set up and apply INNOVO®correctly. We strongly recommend that you review
the information on restorethefloor.com.

STEP 3: PUTTING ON THE SHORTS
Follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide.
1. Unpack all contents from box. Turn the shorts inside out. Before
applying the conductive spray, we recommend that you hang the shorts
up.
2. Remove the lid from the bottle of conductive spray. Holding the bottle
approx. 15-20 cms from the shorts, spray each electrode 2 - 3 times
to ensure an even coverage. Spray each of the 8 integrated electrodes.
Turn the shorts the right way around, so that the electrodes are on the
inside, before putting them on.
Important: Put on the shorts as soon as you have sprayed the electrodes.
3. Pull on the shorts until the waistband is sitting comfortably above your
hips. The red and blue connectors should be to the front, with the wash
label to the rear, as per Fig 9.
4. Ensure the whole surface of each electrode is in full contact with your
skin.
5. 5. When the shorts are correctly positioned, the electrodes will be in
place as shown in Fig 10.

STEP 4: INNOVO®PROGRAMME SELECTION
Remember that you can use INNOVO®to treat Stress, Urge and Mixed Incontinence. Below are suggested
weekly treatment plans for each. It is recommended that you complete just one treatment session per day and
that you follow a minimum 12-week treatment plan to achieve optimum results.
Stress Incontinence
Urge Incontinence
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Prog. 1 Prog. 1 Prog. 1 Prog. 1 Prog. 1 Off Off
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Prog. 2 Off Prog. 2 Off Prog. 2 Off Off
Mixed Incontinence
For a mixed schedule, we recommend that you alternate your use of Stress and Urge programmes every other
day, e.g. a 12-week treatment plan could be broken down into 6 treatment sessions per week (3 Stress sessions
and 3 Urge sessions) to ensure that you are achieving the best treatment outcomes.
Visit restorethefloor.com to understand how to get the best from your INNOVO®product.
After completing your treatment plan
After completing your 12 week INNOVO®therapy plan, you should continue to use INNOVO®to help maintain
a healthy pelvic floor. How frequently you should use INNOVO®will depend on your specific condition and
improvement rate. As a general guide we would recommend you continue to use INNOVO®1-2 times a week.
This will ensure that the results achieved during the 12 week programme will be sustained. One of the major
advantages of using INNOVO®is that you will have an improved awareness of your pelvic floor, so you can also
maintain a healthy pelvic floor by doing daily pelvic floor exercises.

STEP 5: GET INTO THE CORRECT
POSITION FOR YOU
Before you turn the controller on, get into the position that is most
comfortable for you. You should remain in position until your treatment
session is finished.
Position A:
To optimise the results from a treatment session, it is highly recommended
that you remain standing with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width
apart. You should tilt slightly forward and stand near a surface to lean on if
required (Fig. 11).
If standing, you may move a little during the treatment to help you remain
comfortable, but you should avoid moving too much as this may interfere
with the effectiveness of the treatment. However, if you wish to move to a
different location, you should pause the session, move to the new location
and then resume the session.
Position B:
Where standing for 30 minutes is difficult, you can carry out the treatment session in the crook lying position,
which is lying on your back with your legs bent at the knee, shoulder-width apart and with your feet flat (Fig. 12).
To help support your back while crook lying, you can relax your quad muscles by just letting the weight of your
thighs sink gently outwards into your hip sockets. This will help you to maintain a small anterior tilt of your pelvis,
which has the effect of slightly arching your lower back.
Position C:
The crook lying position can also be carried out with your back slightly raised (Fig. 13). Ensure the legs are bent at
the knee and that your feet are flat.

6.1 TURNING ON THE CONTROLLER AND STARTING A SESSION
1. Turn on your INNOVO®controller by pressing the On/Off button ( ).
2. Ensure that you have selected Programme 1. The programme number is
indicated at the top of the screen (Fig. 14). You can change programmes
by pressing the Programme button ( P) for 2 seconds.
3. Start the treatment session by pressing the Increase Intensity button (
). You will see the intensity indicator rise on screen (Fig. 15). The Intensity
buttons increase and decrease the intensity in single increments and the
range goes from 0-120. If you keep the Intensity button pressed it will
increase/decrease continuously.
4. Once you begin to increase the intensity level the treatment timer starts to
count down from 30 minutes (Fig. 16).
6.2 INTENSITY LEVELS AND WHAT TO EXPECT
DURING A STRESS TREATMENT SESSION
1. You should increase the level of intensity gradually
during your first treatment session. This gives you
time to become accustomed to the sensation. At first
you will begin to fee the stimulation in the buttock
area and as you continue to increase the intensity,
this stimulation will move forward between the legs,
giving you a ‘lifting’ sensation throughout the pelvic
floor (Fig. 17).
2. With time (usually within 1 week), you should find that
you are better able to tolerate higher intensities and are well on your way
to attaining the recommended intensity level. Once you can feel a strong
stimulation throughout the full pelvic floor you have reached a sufficient
level. However, you should never exceed your comfort level. Effective
stimulation should be strong but never uncomfortable. You should try to
minimize movement during the therapy session
Important:
You will not feel stimulation directly under the electrodes on the front or sides of
your legs.
3. If you wish, you can now clip the neck strap onto the controller and hang it
around your neck (Fig. 18). For more information refer to page 17.

6.3 HOW TO PAUSE A TREATMENT SESSION
It is recommended to pause the stimulation if you are changing body position during a
treatment session. If you wish to pause a treatment session, simply press the On/Off
button ( ) briefly. The stimulation will stop and the display will indicate that the
controller is paused (Fig. 19). To resume the session, briefly press the On/Off button
again. The display will return to the timer countdown and the stimulation will begin
again. However, if the session is paused for 2 minutes or more, the intensity will be
halved when the session is resumed. This safety feature ensures that stimulation does
not feel uncomfortable when you resume treatment.
You may switch off your controller at any time during a treatment session by
pressing the On/Off button for two seconds. The controller will power off and your
session will terminate.
6.4 FINISHING A TREATMENT SESSION
1. The treatment session is completed when the counter reaches zero. The display will
flash “00:00” (Fig. 20), stimulation is reduced to zero and the controller will beep to
indicate the end of the session.
2. Once the session is complete, switch the controller off by pressing the On/Off
button ( ) for two seconds.
3. Disconnect the leads from the controller and the shorts (Fig. 21).
4. If you are using the neck strap, you can remove the controller from around
your neck.
Note: If you do not switch the controller off, it will do so automatically after 10
seconds. However, if another button is pressed within this 10-second period, the
controller will remain on for 2 minutes, at which point it will switch off automatically.
6.5 REMOVING THE SHORTS
1. Remove the shorts by pulling the waistband down. The shorts will be inside out

from 30 minutes as the programme is running (Fig. 26).
7.2 INTENSITY LEVELS AND WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN URGE
TREATMENT SESSION
1. You should increase the level of intensity gradually during your session. This gives
you time to become accustomed to the sensation. At first you will begin to feel a
slight tapping sensation under the 2 electrodes positioned on your buttocks (Fig.
27). Continue to increase the intensity until you feel a strong tapping, but only to a
level you find comfortable.
2. You can now clip the neck strap onto the controller and place it around your neck
if you wish (Fig. 28). For more information refer to page 19.
3. You may move a little during the treatment to help you remain comfortable, but
you should avoid moving too much as this may interfere with the effectiveness
of the treatment. However, if you wish to move to a different location, you should
pause the session, move to the new location and then resume the session.
Complete Steps 1-5 and, when in position, you are ready to begin your Urge treatment.
7.1 TURNING ON THE CONTROLLER AND STARTING A SESSION
1. Turn on your INNOVO®controller by pressing the On/Off button ( ).
2. Ensure that you have selected Programme 2. This programme number is indicated
at the top of the screen (Fig. 24). You can change programmes by pressing the
Programme button ( P) for 2 seconds.
3. Start the treatment session by pressing the Increase Intensity button ( ). You
will see the intensity indicator rise on screen (Fig. 25). The Intensity buttons increase
and decrease the intensity in single increments and the range goes from 0-70.
If you keep the Intensity button pressed it will increase/decrease continuously.
4. Once the intensity level is increased, the treatment timer starts to count down from
30 minutes as the programme is running (Fig. 26).

7.3 HOW TO PAUSE A TREATMENT SESSION
If you wish to pause a session before it is finished, simply press the On/Off button ( )
briefly. The stimulation will stop and the display will indicate that the controller is paused
(Fig. 29). To resume the session, briefly press the On/Off button again. The display will
return to the timer countdown and the stimulation will begin again. However, if the
session is paused for 2 minutes or more, the intensity will be halved when the session
is resumed. This is a safety feature to ensure that the intensity you had previously
reached is not excessive once you have become unaccustomed to the sensation.
You may switch off your controller at any time during a session by pressing the On/Off
button for two seconds. The controller will power off and your session will terminate.
7.4 FINISHING A TREATMENT SESSION
1. The treatment session is completed when the counter reaches zero. The display will
flash “00:00” (Fig. 30), stimulation is reduced to zero and the controller will beep to
indicate the end of the session.
2. Once the session is complete, switch the controller off by pressing the On/Off button
( ) for two seconds.
3. Disconnect the leads from the controller and the shorts (Fig. 31).
4. If you are using the neck strap, you can remove the controller from around
your neck.
Note: If you do not switch the controller off, it will do so automatically after 10
seconds. However, if another button is pressed within this 10-second period, the
controller will remain on for 2 minutes, at which point it will switch off automatically.
7.5 REMOVING THE SHORTS
1. Remove the shorts by pulling the waistband down. The shorts will be inside
out once removed.
2. Fold the Shorts in half to ensure that the electrodes
remain flat when packed away in the pouch supplied
with your INNOVO®.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT FUNCTIONS
Using the Neck Strap
1. When using the neck strap, attach the clip to the connector at the top of the
controller (Fig. 34). Ensure the controller is attached with the screen facing
away from your body.
2. The neck strap is equipped with a safety-clip which pops open if there is a
sudden, forceful pull on the neck strap. If this happens, align the two halves
of the clip (Fig. 35) and simply push them back together until the oval button
clicks into place. If it does not “click” together, you may have one side of the
clip back-to-front. Turn it around and try again.
Using the Keylock Function during your treatment session
When you have set the intensity to a level you find comfortable, press and hold the
Information Button ( ) for two seconds to activate the Keylock Function (Fig. 36).
This “locks” the Increase and Decrease Intensity buttons, so the intensity cannot
be changed accidentally. The other buttons will still function as normal. If you wish
to increase or decrease the intensity, you can deactivate the Keylock Function by
again pressing the Information button for two seconds. This function only remains
active during the session in which it is activated. Once the treatment session is
complete, the Keylock Function deactivates automatically.
Note: Keylock cannot be activated while the controller is paused.
Mute Function
If you want to switch off your controller’s sound effects, press and hold both the Up
( ) and Down ( ) Scroll buttons for 1 second (Fig. 37). This will activate the
Mute Function. Deactivate the Mute Function by again pressing both the Up and
Down Scroll buttons for 1 second.
Note: The Mute Function is overruled if there is an electrode contact problem (see
page 21) or if there is a controller error message (see page 8).
Reset Data
The INNOVO®controller can store the data from 90 treatment sessions to enable
you to review your treatment progress. Once this is reviewed, the controller can
be reset and the data cleared by pressing and holding the Decrease Intensity
button ( ) and the Information button ( ) for 4 seconds (Fig. 38). After 2
seconds, the Total Treatment Time will begin to flash on screen and when this
resets to 00:00, your data has been cleared. This function will not work while a
treatment session is in progress. If you don’t reset the data after 90 sessions, you
can still continue to use your product: in this instance the data from the 91st and
subsequent sessions will be written over the data for session #1, #2 etc.

IN-PROGRAMME INFORMATION
Your INNOVO®controller stores three pieces of data from every session you run. This allows you to monitor your
treatment progress if you wish:
a) The maximum intensity for each session.
b) The average intensity for each session.
c) The duration of each session.
This information can be reviewed in 2 different ways - either by reviewing all 3 parameters in a single session or by
reviewing one specific parameter over a number of sessions.
Note: This information cannot be accessed while a programme is running.
Review by Session
1. Access the list of treatment sessions by pressing either the Up or Down Scroll buttons
(Fig. 45).
• By pressing the Scroll Up button ( ) you will access the list of sessions from the
oldest to the most recent, starting with the first treatment session you completed,
then the second, then the third etc.
• By pressing the Scroll Down button ( ) you will access your most recently
completed treatment session first, then the session completed before that, then
before that again, etc.
2. When you have highlighted the session you wish to review, the maximum intensity
level for that session appears on screen (Fig. 46). This information remains on screen
for 3 seconds and will then revert back to the start screen, unless you press the
Information button again.
3. Press the Information button once to display the average intensity of the selected
session (Fig. 47).
4. Press the Information button twice to display the duration of the selected session (Fig.
48).
5. Press the Information button three times to display the programme used for the
selected session (Fig. 49).
Review by Parameter
1. Access the list of treatment sessions by pressing either the Up or Down Scroll button.
• By pressing the Scroll Up button you will access the list of sessions from the
oldest to the most recent, starting with the first treatment session you completed,
then the second, then the third etc.
• By pressing the Scroll Down button you will access your most recently completed
treatment session first, then the session completed before that, then before that
again, etc.
2. When you have highlighted the session you wish to review, press the Information
button until you find the parameter you wish to review. For example, Fig. 50 shows the
maximum intensity in session #1.
3. Next, press the Up Scroll button to display the same parameter in the next session
(i.e. the maximum intensity in sessions #2, #3 etc.- Fig. 51 & Fig. 52). Or press the
Down Scroll button to display the same parameter in the previous session. This
information remains on screen for 3 seconds and will then revert back to the start
screen, unless you press the Scroll Buttons or the Information button again.
Note: If you wish to review the average intensity for each session instead of the
maximum intensity; when you have highlighted the session you wish to review,
press the Information button twice to see the average intensity for session #1.
Then use the Scroll Buttons to see the average intensity in session #2, #3 etc.
Press the Information button three times to see the duration of each session you
wish to review.
