1. Introduction
The Ova 3 Menstrual Pain Relief device uses TENS technology
to provide instant and lasting pain relief. Small and discreet,
the device can be worn all day under clothing to provide
safe and effective period pain relief whilst maintaining a
normal, active lifestyle.
Ova 3 also combines soothing heat therapy alongside pain
relief programmes. Heat therapy helps to improve blood
circulation and relaxes muscles for soothing relief.
2. Intended use
Ova 3 has been designed to be used in the home healthcare
environment to treat symptoms of primary menstrual pain
(dysmenorrhoea).
The Ova 3 may also help to relieve the pain of secondary
menstrual pain due to conditions such as endometriosis,
broids,orpelvicinammatorydisease.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than this
intended use.
Warning: If you are unsure of the cause of the pain,
then you should seek medical advice to establish the
cause and identify the correct treatment.

4. Safety guidelines
Contraindications
Do not use if you have a pacemaker (or if you have a heart
rhythm problem) or with any electronic medical devices.
Using this unit with electronic medical devices may cause
erroneous operation of the device. Stimulation in the direct
vicinity of an implanted device may affect some models.
Stimulation on the front of the neck can affect your heart
rate. Very strong stimulation across the chest may cause an
extra heartbeat.
Donotuseduringtherstthreemonthsofpregnancy;orin
therst6-8weeksafterchildbirth.Itisnotknownwhether
TENS may affect foetal development.
Do not use on the abdomen in the later stages of pregnancy.
Stop using immediately if you experience unexpected
contractions.
Warnings
Do NOT use when driving, operating machinery, or similar
actions needing muscular control. Loose electrodes, or
sudden changes in contact may cause brief involuntary
muscle movements.
Do NOT use to mask or relieve undiagnosed pain. This may
delay diagnosis of a progressive condition.
Do NOT use if you have, in the area being treated: active
or suspected cancer or undiagnosed pain with a history
ofcancer.Stimulationdirectlythroughaconrmedor
suspected malignancy should be avoided as it may
stimulate growth and promote spread of cancer cells.
Do NOT use electrodes on the front of the neck. Stimulation
on the front of the neck can affect your heart rate or cause
contraction of the throat.

8 9
Do NOT use electrodes across the chest. Very strong
stimulation across the chest may cause an extra heartbeat
and/or rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be
lethal.
Do NOT use while simultaneously connected to high
frequency surgical equipment as it may result in burns at
the site of stimulator electrodes and possible damage to the
stimulator.
Do NOT use in close proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or
microwave as this may produce instability in the stimulator
output.
Do NOT use electrodes near the thorax as this may increase
theriskofcardiacbrillation.
Do not use the heat function if you cannot sense
temperature.
Do not use the heat function on any muscle or joint which
has swelling or edema. Heat may worsen the pain and/or
condition.
Do not use if you experience any adverse reactions from the
device and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Cautions
Caution should be used if you have a bleeding disorder
asstimulationmayincreasebloodowtothestimulated
region.
Caution should be used if you have suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy as electrical stimulation may affect seizure
threshold.
Caution should be observed when using the device at the
same time as being connected to monitoring equipment
with body worn electrodes. It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
Caution should be used following recent surgical
procedures. Stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
Not intended for use in an oxygen rich environment.

5. Using OVA 3
Preparing for a session
Applying the hydrogels
For best results, wipe clean and dry the targeted area of the
body.
Remove the hydrogels from their foil bag.
Removethecolouredplasticlinersrstandapplytothe
bottom face of the electrodes.
Note: Ensure to align the Hydrogel correctly before
applying to the bottom face of the electrodes. Please
see the image below.
Leave the transparent plastic liners on the gels until you are
ready to place the pads on the body.
Note: It is important the liners are removed in this order.
Ensure to keep one of the liners to re-apply onto the gel
once your session is complete.
Applying the electrodes
Remove the transparent plastic liners labelled 2 and apply
the electrodes to the body.
We recommend placing the electrodes in one of three
positions.
TENS stimulation will work differently depending on the
location of your nerves therefore It is important to try all
thesepositionstondwhatprovidesyouwiththemostpain
relief.
On the front, in a vertical format
In the vicinity of your groin, place the pads vertically, about
10cm (4 inches) apart.

12 13
On the front, in a diagonal format
In the vicinity of your groin, place the pads in a V-shape,
narrowing to about 10cms (4 inches) apart at the lower end
of the pads.
On the lower back
Place the pads vertically either side of the spine,
approximately 10cms (4 inches) apart, with the bottom of the
electrodes no higher than the top of your buttocks.
As each person’s body is different, the Ova 3 is supplied with
electrodes which are large enough to be effective even if not
located exactly over all three dermatomes. When the pads
are placed correctly the Ova 3 will work very well.
Therefore, if after thirty minutes considerable relief has not
been achieved, either move the pads slightly or try one of
the other pad positioning areas.
Connecting the stimulators
Once the electrodes have been attached to the body,
connectbothstimulatorsviathemagneticxingpoint.
Note: The stimulator must be connected to the
electrode in the correct orientation. If you feel
magnetic resistance, rotate the stimulator 180° and try
connecting again.

14 15
Controls and Interface
Ova 3 comes with two stimulators both with separate LED
displays.
TheLEDdisplaysarespecictothebuttonsoneach
stimulator.
Note: When switching between modes to adjust
programmeparametersthewhiteLEDswillashonce.
Note: All LED’S on both stimulators will automatically
turn off after 10 seconds if no buttons are pressed. To
re-activate the LED’s, press any button.
Completing a session
1) Turning Ova 3 on
To turn the unit on, press the Power button on the device for
approximately 1 second until the LED display shows. The unit
will start with the programme you used last.
Note: Ova 3 will automatically turn off if both strength
controls are set to zero for 1 minute.
2) Programme Selection
To select your desired programme, press the programme
button once to enter programme selection mode. (See
section 6 Pain Relief Programmes)
Once in programme selection mode, repeatedly press
the programme button to cycle between available
programmes.
This is indicated by a short beep as well as shown on the LED
display.
Note: When turning on Ova 3, the last programme and
timer settings will be set as default.
Note: If the programme button is pressed during a
session, the selected programme will change, and
intensity will be reset to 0.

16 17
3) Treatment time selection
To adjust the treatment time of the session, press the
treatment time button once to enter treatment time
selection mode.
Once in treatment time selection mode, repeatedly press
the treatment time button to cycle between available
treatment times.
Note: Ova 3 is set to a continuous treatment time by
default.
4) Setting the intensity
When adjusting intensity, ensure to reach a sensation that
feels strong but comfortable.
Adjust intensity by repeatedly pressing the + or - buttons. To
increase the intensity quickly, hold the + or - buttons.
Once you have increased the intensity, the session will begin.
The4whiteLEDsontheleftstimulatorwillashonceand
then display treatment time remaining.
LED’s will turn off at 15-minute intervals in descending order.
If continuous treatment time is selected, the upper most LED
willashforthedurationofthesession.
Note: At low intensity levels, it is common for no
sensation to be felt. Your body can also become used
to the sensation. Continue to increase the intensity until the
sensation is strong but comfortable.

18 19
Note: You may feel more sensation in one pad than
the other. This is normal – it depends on where the
electrodes are in relation to your nerves.
Connection error display
When attaching the stimulators to the electrode, intensity is
always reverted to 0.
If a stimulator is removed from an electrode whilst it is active
or if there is poor contact with the skin, a connection error
will occur, and intensity will be reverted to 0.
A connection error is indicated by 3 beeps and the LED
display;allwhiteLED’swillashquickly.
To restart the session, ensure the stimulators and electrodes
are attached correctly and increase the intensity within 10
seconds to resume the session.
Note: During a connection error, all controls will not
operate unless the Ova 3 electrodes and stimulators
have been properly re-connected.
Note: If a connection error occurs and no action has
been taken after 1 minute, the device will automatically
turn off.
5) Activating heat therapy
Heat therapy can be used in parallel with TENS pain relief
programmes.
To activate heat therapy, press the heat button once to enter
heat therapy mode.
Once in heat therapy mode, repeatedly press the heat
button to cycle between the available heat modes.
Ova 3 has two heat modes, low and high.
Note:Ensuretoallowsufcienttimeforthedeviceto
heat up before increasing temperature further.
This is indicated by a short beep as well as shown on the LED
display.
Heat therapy will run for 10 minutes before automatically
deactivating. If the TENS programme being used has a
remaining treatment time of less than 10 minutes, the heat
therapy will deactivate when the TENS session ends.
It is recommended to use heat therapy once at the
beginning of your session for soothing relief.
Caution: If at any time during use the heat therapy
feels painful or uncomfortable, deactivate the heat.
Note: Heat mode may not be able to be turned on due
to overheating or not enough battery life. If heat mode
cannot be turned on, the orange LEDs on each stimulator
willquicklyash3times.Thiswilloccurrepeatedlyuntilthe
device has reached a suitable temperature or the device
has been recharged.
After your session
Upon completion of the session Ova 3 will automatically
switch off.
To turn the device off manually hold the power button for 3
seconds.

20 21
Remove the stimulators from the electrodes by carefully
lifting the stimulator from its magnetic port.
Remove the electrodes from your skin by peeling from the
corner of the electrode. Make sure the hydrogel is removed
from the body and remains attached to the electrodes.
Re-apply the liners onto the hydrogels on the rear of the
electrodes. Return the electrodes and stimulators to the
storage case. Good storage will help maximise the life of the
gel.
Ensure to replace the Hydrogel pads when they lose their
stickiness.
Remove the Hydrogels from the electrodes by peeling them
away carefully. Poor connection to the body may cause
ineffective treatment, discomfort, and skin irritation.
6. Pain Relief Programmes
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) provides
a natural solution to pain relief in one of two ways:
Pain Gate
Stimulates sensory nerves to block pain signals from being
received from the brain. Pain Gate stimulation provides pain
relief whist being used.
Endorphin Release
Low frequency TENS promotes the release of endorphins,
the body’s natural pain killer. Endorphin Release builds up
over 40 minutes and will last several hours after stimulation
is ended.
The Ova 3 offers four pre-set clinically tested programmes.
Itisimportanttotryallfourprogrammestondwhichsuits
you the best.
Note: It is sensible to change from one programme
to another regularly to prevent your body
accommodating to one programme.
Programme Type of Relief Sensation
1Pain Gate Smooth, constant
sensation
2 Pain Gate Smooth, constant
sensation
3Pain Gate + Endorphin Pulsing
4Endorphin Tapping
Frequency of use
TENS can be used for as long as it is necessary. Continuous
treatment is safe, but electrodes should be repositioned
regularly (at least every 12 hours) to allow the skin to breathe.
7. Hydrogels Advice
The electrodes and hydrogels supplied are reusable but
for single patient use. The hydrogels should provide 10-20
applications per gel. However, this will vary depending on
the user’s skin condition and how the hydrogels are stored
between use. Try to limit the amount of time the gels are
exposed to the air.
The adhesive is a peelable hydrogel (water based).
It is possible to restore some of the adhesion of the hydrogel
by adding a tiny drop of water on each gel and spreading
itaroundwithyournger.Iftoomuchwaterisadded,the
hydrogel will become too soft. If that happens, place the
electrodes and hydrogels sticky side up in a refrigerator for a
few hours. This should help restore some adhesion.
The hydrogels provided are latex-free.

22 23
The shelf life of an unopened pack of hydrogel pads is 3
years. This can be affected by very high temperatures or
very low humidity.
Hydrogels Cautions:
Do not ignore any allergic reaction to the hydrogel pads:
If a skin irritation develops, stop using TENS, as this type of
electrode may not be suitable for you.
Do not use this device with gels or electrodes other than
those recommended by the manufacturer. Performance
mayvaryfromspecication.Electrodeswithsmallersurface
area may cause tissue irritation.
DO NOT PLACE ELECTRODES:
On skin, which does not have normal sensation. If the skin is
numb too great a strength may be used, which could result
inskininammation.
On broken skin. The electrodes could encourage infection.
Over the eyes. May affect eyesight or cause headaches.
Across the front of the head. Effect on patients who have had
strokes or seizures is not known. May affect your sense of
balance. The effects of stimulation on the brain are unknown.

electrónicos puede provocar un funcionamiento erróneo
del dispositivo. La estimulación cerca de un dispositivo
implantado puede afectar a algunos modelos. La
estimulación en la parte frontal del cuello puede afectar al
ritmo cardíaco. Una estimulación muy fuerte a través del
pecho puede provocar un latido cardíaco excesivo.
No utilizar durante los tres primeros meses de embarazo
ni en las 6-8 primeras semanas después del parto. Se
desconoce si la TENS puede afectar al desarrollo del feto.
No utilizar en el abdomen en las últimas fases del
embarazo. Deje de utilizarlo inmediatamente si experimenta
contracciones inesperadas.
Advertencias
