TensCare ibelt User manual

Product Description
Back pain is a common (and often debilitating) condition which
causes difficulty with movements and flexibility. This makes it
extremely difficult and painful to ensure proper placement of
electrodes used with standard TENS units.
The iBelt uses conductive silver mesh electrodes which have been
built-in to a flexible, material belt to provide easier placement for
those wishing to use TENS for relief from back pain.
The iBelt is designed to position the electrodes on the correct sites
for treatment of lower back pain with no adhesive. You simply need
to place it around your waist and the electrodes should be
positioned for you.
The iBelt makes it easy for people lacking flexibility to position
lower-back electrodes without the painful twists and
contortions commonly associated with electrode
placement.
Use at Home, Work, or On-the-Go
The iBelt’s thin and discreet design allows you to wear it underneath clothes for hours of
targeted, drug-free pain relief for your lower back. This flexibility means you can wear the
iBelt around the house, at work and during activities associated with leading an active
lifestyle.
Instructions for Use
1. Ensure your skin is clean, dry, and free from lotion or
oils.
2. With the TENS unit switched OFF, connect the electrode
lead wires to the standard TENS unit leadwire, and
connect these to the TENS unit (if required).
3. Place the iBelt around your waist, ensuring that the
electrodes are correctly positioned at the centre of your
lower back.
4. Close the inner velcro then tighten the elasticated
outer strap using the separate outer velcro fasteners.
5. Adjust to ensure that the electrodes are correctly
positioned.
6. Turn on your TENS unit and select the required
program.

FOR LOWER BACK PAIN

7. If the stimulation feels “prickly” on the skin, tighten the iBelt or slightly dampen the
electrode pads with a small amount of water.
8. When you wish to remove the iBelt, ensure that the TENS unit is turned OFF.
Disconnect the TENS leads by holding the connector plugs, NOT by pulling on the leadwires.
Cautions
If you feel uncomfortable or unwell in the course of treatment, turn the TENS unit off
and contact your physician.
Do not apply to broken skin. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and contact your
physician.
Do not use the electrode if it is damaged.
Adjust your TENS unit settings according to the instructions accompanying the device
or as advised by your physician.
Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage
To clean the iBelt, disconnect from the TENS unit and remove all lead wires. Wash gently
with mild soap in warm (not hot) water. Rinse thoroughly in clean warm water to remove all
traces of soap.
Do not wring or squeeze to dry. Instead, wrap in a towel to remove excessive moisture,
remove from the towel and allow to air dry at room temperature and away from heat and
sunlight.
