1. INTRODUCTION
Device Description & Principles of
Design
The Eva is a powered muscle
stimulator used for body toning and
shaping, as well as for the reduction of
wrinkles.
It sends a small and gentle stimulation
(similar to your natural nerve impulses)
to the muscles being treated via two or
four auto-adhesive electrode pads, in
order to help you to firm and tone your
body, and to maintain your youthful
appearance.
We have developed bespoke
programmes dedicated to each specific
area: face, abs, buttocks & hips, thighs,
bust, arms and calves.
2. INTENDED USE
Eva is a device designed to be used in
the home environment to improve
muscle tone and bulk, and reduce signs
of ageing. It is suitable for use by all
who can control the device and
understand the instructions.
Do not use the device for any purpose
other than this intended use.
Warning: Not suitable for use
in children without supervision.
3. EVA FEATURES
•Dual Channel
Two independent channels with four
electrode pads to treat two areas at the
same time.
•Comfortable Stimulation
Gentle stimulation with 90 small steps
of intensity (about 1 mA per step).
•8 Preset Programmes
Including facial toning and firming; as
well as programmes for body toning
and shaping: abs, buttocks & hips,
thighs, bust, arms and calves.
•Memory
Features 3 functions: programme
retention (automatically starts in the last
programme used), number of uses and
time of usage.
•Open Circuit Detection
Automatically resets the strength to
zero if the electrode pads are not
correctly applied.
•Detachable Belt Clip
Enables the user to clip the unit onto a
belt.
•Large LCD Screen
Clearly shows the operation of the unit
and the programme and intensity being
used.
•Unique electrode pads
Face: Simple application to stimulate all
areas of the face in one treatment
session.
Breast*: Large surface area for
comfortable stimulation.
*Sold separately
Note: The electrode pads need
to be applied directly to the skin
before the intensity increase
buttons will operate. If the Eva detects
the unit is not properly connected to
you (for example if the electrode pads
or leads come loose) then the unit

6
switches the intensity to zero. This
safety feature prevents any unpleasant
changes in output.
4. HOW ‘EMS’ WORKS
E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle
Stimulation and has successfully been
used in rehabilitation and training in
competitive sports. EMS produces
intensive and effective muscular
contraction.
EMS is a complement to other physical
therapy and should always be
combined with active mobility, strength,
coordination and functional training.
In training, the technology for
electrotherapy is used for all kinds of
muscular exercise - warm-up, strength,
speed, power, resistance, endurance,
recovery and also for rehabilitation.
EMS is well known and works as an
excellent complement to regular
training.
Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS will help to tone and shape
the body by contracting the selected
muscle group. It is particularly
convenient for areas that are famous for
losing their shape and hard to exercise
such as the upper arms and the face.
Successful athletes all over the world
have discovered the advantages of
electrical muscle stimulation, such as
an increase of the local circulation and
the size of the muscle fibres.
How EMS Works
Muscular activity is produced by the
central and peripheral nervous systems
transmitting electrical stimuli to the
muscles of our body. EMS uses
external electrical impulses that work
through the skin to stimulate the nerves
supplying a specific muscle group.
This current then passes into the nerve
fibres controlling that part of the muscle
stimulating it to contract. So, electrical
stimulation (EMS) artificially activates a
muscle for you enabling to exercise the
muscles and, as with any kind of
exercise if performed regularly, build
strength and tone.
Different frequencies have different
effects; low frequencies (1-10 Hz)
coupled with long impulse times, for
example, have a purifying and relaxing
effect through individual contractions,
whereby the circulation in the treated
muscle is simultaneously improved and
removal of metabolic end products is
supported (lymphatic drainage).
In contrast, by means of a rapid
succession of contractions (fibrillation),
medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure.
5. HOW ‘MIC’ WORKS
MicroCurrent Stimulation (MIC) is a
type of therapy where very low current
is sent into the cells of the body. MIC is
a very faint current that is so small it is
measured in millionths of an amp
(microamps). Microcurrent has been
used for about 25 years in medicine.
Good results have been achieved in the
treatment of bell’s palsy, facial

7
paralysis, stroke, wound healing and
pain control.
Human cells generate a current that is
in the micro amp range which is why
some can’t feel it - the current is so low
it doesn’t stimulate the sensory nerves.
As we get older, the body slows down,
the muscles start to age, and the skin
begins to deteriorate. Microcurrent has
the ability to speed up the whole
metabolism of the tissue and cellular
activity. It works in two ways:
preventative and corrective. It heals the
tissues so that a visible result will be
seen after only one session. The skin
will tighten, and lines and wrinkles will
be softened because of the cellular
activity being stimulated.
In addition, because the muscle and
tissue are then in a better state of repair
to receive the body’s own natural bio-
electrical impulses, there is
preventative care as well. The ageing
process is being delayed and a healing
effect is produced.
Why use Microcurrent?
•Corrective: enhances natural
features, encourages collagen
production to plump out the tissue
•Tightens and soften lines
•Very little sensation felt: very
relaxing treatment
•Preventative: delays the aging
process and stops further damage
by stimulating the existing collagen
•Non-invasive: safer and less
intrusive than face lifting surgery
Benefits of Microcurrent:
•Lifts sagging muscles
•Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
and fine lines
•Reduces oedema: puffiness under
the eyes is reduced as is dark circles
under the eyes.
•Gives a youthful appearance to the
skin
•Tightens and reduces open pores
•Improves colours and texture of the
skin
•Tones flabby or sunken areas
•Diminishes scar tissue: although
older scars take longer
6. CONTRAINDICATIONS,
WARNINGS &
CAUTIONS
In this manual:
A Contraindication is used when
a device should not be used
because the risk of use clearly
outweighs any foreseeable benefits and
may result in serious injury or death.
Warning is used when failure
to follow the instructions may
result in serious injury or death.
A Caution is used when failure
to follow the instructions may
result in a minor or moderate
injury, or damage to the device or other
property.
Notes are used to provide
clarification or
recommendation.
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

8
operation of the device. Stimulation in
the direct vicinity of an implanted device
may affect some models.
Do NOT use during the first three
months of pregnancy. It is not known
whether TENS and EMS 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 electrode
pads, damaged leads, 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 confirmed or suspected
malignancy should be avoided as it may
stimulate growth and promote spread of
cancer cells.
Do NOT use optional 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.
Do NOT use optional 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 Eva 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 Eva 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
fibrillation.
CAUTIONS:
Caution should be used if you have a
bleeding disorder as stimulation may
increase blood flow 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 electrode
pads. It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
Caution should be used following
recent surgical procedures. Stimulation
may disrupt the healing process.

7. INFORMATION ABOUT
THE PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
7.1. EMS PROGRAMMES
The Eva unit has 7 preset EMS
programmes: FACE 1, ABS, HIP,
THIGH, BUST, ARM and CALF.
Each programme has its own
combination of Frequency and Pulse
Width settings which allow for different
muscle groups to be exercised and
toned through the electrode pads.
•Frequency (measured in Hz -
pulses per second)
Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a
purifying and relaxing effect through
individual contractions.
Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure
•Pulse Width (measured in μs -
millionths of a second)
The Eva unit has pulse widths of 80 to
600 μs. Generally speaking, the higher
the pulse width, the more "aggressive"
the stimulation feels, if the pulse width
is set high enough, it will usually elicit a
muscle contraction, which is required
for an effective toning of the muscle
group selected.
Work/Rest:
All the programmes are intermittent.
Once you have reached a comfortable
level, 5 seconds after you stop pressing
the button, the intermittent Work/Rest
phase will start.
For each programme, the unit will go
through a stimulation phase (Work) for
0-10 seconds, followed by a phase

11
without stimulation (Rest) for a similar
time.
This is to allow your muscles to recover
from exercise and avoid fatigue.
During the Work period (W), the unit will
generate contractions, try to contract
the muscle voluntarily at the time to get
the best possible results.
This cycle Work/Rest will continue for
the duration of the programme
selected.
Wand Rare displayed on the screen.
Each programme is a balanced mix of
toning, firming, and shaping specifically
designed for the designated muscle
group.
All the programmes except FACE 1 &
FACE 2 consist of seven phases, with
a combination of settings optimised for
each part of the body selected from the
following.
•Capillarization (3 Hz to 8 Hz)
Treatment at these frequencies
significantly increases arterial flow in
the area treated. This is useful for
recovering after intense work and
improves local microcirculation.
•Tissue Elasticity (5 Hz to 15 Hz)
Stimulates the surface muscle fibres.
These frequencies facilitate the
removal of substances accumulated on
the surface and improve the dynamic
appearance of the skin.
•Micro lifting (12 Hz to 20 Hz)
Toning facial muscles to improve both
the appearance and the dynamism of
facial muscles.
•Modelling (12 Hz to 30 Hz)
Due to a combination of capillarizing
and toning impulses, this frequency
range helps mobilise fat in areas where
it tends to accumulate.
•Firming up (20 Hz to 30 Hz)
Firming up muscles working mainly on
slow-twitch fibres.
•Lipolysis (30 Hz to 40 Hz)
This frequency range is used in
electrolipophoresis treatments to
improve the appearance of the skin.
•Toning (40 Hz to 50 Hz)
Toning up working mainly on fast-twitch
fibres.
•Definition and bulk (60 Hz to 100
Hz)
Defining muscles in the arms and bust
working mainly on explosive fibres.
Grows muscle size.
For all programmes except FACE 1 &
FACE 2, follow the guidelines below to
set the intensity level.
Phase 1 - Preparation: Turn up the
stimulation gradually, until you feel an
intermittent tingling.
Phases 2 to 6 - Activation: Increase
the intensity until you feel a very smooth
tensing under the pads, there should be
little visible movement.
Use a low intensity for the first session
to help you to understand how the
machine works.
During the programme and over the
next few days the intensity should be
increased gradually to produce marked,
but not painful muscle contractions.
Phase 7 - Cool down: Turn down the
intensity gradually until you can only
feel a mild tingling pulse.
For the programme FACE 1, which has
just one phase, increase the intensity to
the point where you can just see the
muscle moving.

12
Note: The stimulation should
remain comfortable and
relaxing at all times.
7.2. MIC PROGRAMME
The FACE 2 programme is a
microcurrent programme and therefore
uses specific settings. Intensity is fixed,
and the programme starts when you set
display above zero.
Phase 1 – Circulation: This part of the
treatment stimulates the epidermal and
dermal blood circulation. It also has an
activating effect on the lymph
circulation.
Phase 2 – Superficial lift: This part of
the programme lifts the superficial facial
muscles.
Phase 3 – Deep facial toning: This
phase gives a lift to deep facial
muscles.

8.3. USING THE
PROGRAMMES
FACIAL PROGRAMMES:
The FACE 1 and FACE 2 programmes
are a non-invasive option for helping lift
and/or tighten the soft tissues of the
face, improving facial muscle tone and
reducing the signs of ageing.
Recommended use: One treatment
session daily, 5 days/week, for 12
weeks. You may notice some positive
effects after just one session, but
normally it will take about 6 weeks
before you notice a difference.
FACE 1 PROGRAMME:
Take care when adjusting the intensity
as facial muscles are particularly
sensitive; intensity should be increased
gradually, starting with a very low level
of stimulation (just above perception)
and increasing with care until you reach
a good level of stimulation, represented
by good muscle activation.
On the face, it is not necessary to reach
levels of intensity capable of causing
discomfort! Great and significant results
are obtained through consistency and
patience.
Warning: Use these
programmes only with the face
electrode pads included in the
kit (see E-CM3050).
Warning: a minimum distance
of 3 cm. must be kept between
the electrode pad and the
eyeball.
The TensCare face electrode pads (see
E-CM3050) are designed to reduce any
risk to a minimum. Some secondary
effects may subsist but they should be
temporary.
Note: You might notice mild
skin redness at the site of the
electrode pads after the
treatment session. It should fade within
10 to 20 minutes.
Note: Very rarely temporary
after-effects, such as mild
eyelid flutter, have been
reported after facial stimulation. This
has always resolved within a few days.
FACE 2 PROGRAMME:
The intensity is set by default at 300 µA
in phase 1, 250 µA in phase 2 and 80
µA in phase 3. Microcurrent will often
not generate any sensation or only a
gentle tingling sensation. If you find the
tingling sensation uncomfortable, you
can reduce the intensity in steps of 10
μA in each channel.
Warning: Use these
programmes only with the
circular electrode pads
included in the kit (see E-CM25).
ABS, HIP, THIGH PROGRAMMES:
These programmes help improving
body toning and body shaping by
generating passive muscle contractions
in the selected area.
It may improve your general fitness
levels as well as achieving a thinner
silhouette by building up the muscles.

17
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
BUST PROGRAMME:
Electrical Stimulation can build,
strengthen, and firm the pectoral
muscles giving bulk and lift.
•Exercise and massage therapy to
enhance the size and shape of your
breasts
•Natural method to enhance your all-
natural body
Recommended use:
Generally, three sessions per week,
over a period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives
good initial results depending on the
body shaping, toning, sports training or
rehabilitation and recovery needs.
Note: For improved comfort,
use this programme with the
breast electrode pads* (see E-
CMR60130).
*Sold separately.
ARM PROGRAMME:
The upper arms often get saggy and
flabby especially in women with the
triceps (back of the upper arm). It is
commonly referred to as “Bingo Wings”
or “Bat Wings”. It is tricky to tone this
muscle group and some women find
this area ungraceful or even
embarrassing.
Eva helps to tone, firm and lift the
triceps and the biceps as it allows you
to generate contractions in this specific
muscle group.
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
CALF PROGRAMME:
Most people are aiming for thin but
muscly legs with a harmonious balance
between the size of the thighs and the
size of the calves. Often, the calves are
either too skinny with only little muscle
mass or too big with a long muscle
mass especially around the ankle.
The aim of this programme is to tone,
shape and lift the calves’ muscles to
achieve slender legs with improved
definition of the muscles as well as a
slimming effect on the ankles.
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
GENERAL ADVICE:
Ideally, use Eva once every two days
for each muscle with a day of rest in
between. It is possible to work on pairs
of muscles, for example thighs and
abdominal muscles, treating one set
one day and the other the next day.

18
Warning: Working on too
many muscles at the same
time is not recommended.
Once good results have been obtained
the sessions may be reduced to once or
twice a week until the user feels that
optimum body shaping has been
achieved.
9. ELECTRODE PADS
9.1. PAD POSITIONING
The electrode pads must always be
used in pairs (two electrode pads on
each channel), so that the signal can
flow in a circuit.
Note: The face electrode pad
acts as a pair of standard
electrode pads. Connect both
pigtail leads to the same channel on the
unit.
Electrode placement for EMS is very
important for obtaining the best
results.
Place two electrode pads over the bulk
of the muscle, with one electrode over
the muscle’s motor point. The motor
point is the area on the skin that is
located closest to the motor nerve’s
entry into the muscle – about 1/3 of the
way down the muscle from the spine.
Here, it is easiest to trigger a
contraction by electrical stimulation.
Experiment by moving the electrode
pads across the skin until you locate the
point over the muscle that gives the
cleanest contraction. In the examples in
section 8.3., the electrode pads are
marked +ve (red) and -ve (black) to
match the red and black leads. One of
the electrode pads should be
positioned over the motor point.
Large muscle groups may require
stimulation with two channels, that is,
four electrodes simultaneously.
When exercising smaller muscles, take
care to adjust the intensity level slowly
as the motor nerves may be more
sensitive and using smaller electrode
pads increases the current density.
You may feel more sensation in one
pad than the other. This is normal – it
depends on where the electrode pads
are in relation to your nerves.
Use the square electrode pads (see E-
CM5050) for all areas except the face
where specific electrode pads are
required (see E-CM3050).
For the bust area, it is recommended to
use the optional breast electrode pads for
improved comfort (see E-CMR60130).
Always check that the unit is OFF
before attaching or removing
electrode pads.
Eva resets strength to zero if the pad
or lead is disconnected from your
body. This is to prevent sudden
changes in sensation when the pad
is re-connected.

9.2. PAD ADVICE
•The electrode pads supplied are
reusable but for single patient use.
The adhesive is a peelable hydrogel
(water based).
•In order to obtain the best
conductivity through the electrode
pads always ensure that they are in
good condition and tacky.
•Before use make sure your skin is
clean and dry.
•Peel the electrode pads from their
protective plastic shield by holding
and lifting one corner of the pad and
pulling. Do not pull on the pigtail wire
of the pad.
•After use always replace the
electrode pads on the plastic liner
and replace them in the re-sealable
plastic bag.
•If the electrode pads dry out, then it
is best to buy a replacement pack. In
an emergency, it may be possible to
restore some of the tackiness of the
pad by adding a tiny drop of water on
each pad and spreading around. If
too much water is added, the
electrode pad will become too soft. If
that happens then it is suggested in
order to try and re-establish some
adhesiveness, to place them sticky
side up in a refrigerator for a few
hours.
•In very hot weather the gel on the
electrode pads may become soft. In
such cases place them, still on their
plastic liners and in their pouch into
a fridge until they return to their
normal condition.
•The electrode pads provided are
latex-free.
•Replace the electrode pads when
they lose their stickiness.
Poor connection may cause
discomfort and skin irritation.
•Storage life of an unopened pack of
electrode pads is 2 years. This may
be affected by very high
temperatures or very low humidity.
