The TensCare Perfect TENS is a dual channel TENS.
It has:
• twoindependentstrengthcontrols
• 60mAoutputover500Ohmload
• 8pre-setmodesincludingBurst,Strengthand
FrequencyModulation,andHan
• Manual programme giving range of 2-150Hz in steps of 1;
50-250uSinstepsof10
• ProgrammeTimer10-60minutes
• ComplianceMemory
2. HOW “TENS” WORKS
T.E.N.S. stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
T.E.N.S. stimulates your body’s own natural defences against
pain,namelythereleaseofendorphins.TENSistotallysafeand
has been used successfully by thousands of pain sufferers.
TENS sends a gentle stimulation through the skin which
works in TWO ways:-
Pain Gate
It stimulates the sensory nerves, which carry touch and
temperature signals. These nerves go to the same connections
12
the unit is switched on. You can
useTENSseveraltimesaday,for
as long as you like.
Endorphin Release
At low frequency settings, and
slightly stronger outputs, TENS
drives the motor nerves to
produce a small repetitive muscle
contraction. This is seen by
the brain as exercise, and this
promotesreleaseofendorphins-
your body’s own natural pain killer.
The relief builds up and normally
takes about 40 minutes to reach a
maximum level which can last for
ENDORPHINS
PAIN
hours after the machine is switched off.
ByusingTENSyoucanexpecttoachieveasignicantreduction
in pain if not complete relief from pain.
• TENS is effective for pain from a very wide range of causes.
• It doesn’t appear to provide relief from internal pain other than
period pain.
• Youcanuselowfrequency(<10Hz)programmesonacupuncture
points,toachievesimilareffectstoacupuncture.
• With neurogenic pain (caused by inamed nerves) such as
shinglesandneuralgia,TENSmaystartbyincreasingthepain.
We recommend that you only use TENS for these conditions
under medical supervision.
• You can safely use TENS as long as it gives you pain relief.The effect
maywearoffafterafewhours(thisiscalled“accommodation”).
Ifthishappens,takeabreakofanhourorsobeforetryingagain.
If you use settings that cause muscle movement for more than
about 40 minutes, you may experience aching muscles a few
hours later.

6. BELT CLIP
A belt clip is provided to allow you to attach the Perfect TENS
to your clothing. It can be inserted either way up. Slide the clip
along the base of the unit until it locks in position.
You can also hang the unit from your neck using the holes on each
shoulder of the unit. For safety use thread or wool that will snap
easily if the unit snags on something.
7. THE PROGRAMMES
Thereisnooneprogrammeforaparticularcondition,andthe
bestchoicevariesfromonepersontoanother,eveniftheyhave
the same type of pain.
Each user needs to select both the programme and the positioning
of the pads that is best for them. You may need to try a few
positions/programmesbeforendingtheonethatsuitsyou.
IfyouareusingTENSforthersttime,itisrecommendedthat
youstartwithProgrammeA,whichgivesthegentleststimulation.
ThePerfectTENShas8pre-setpainreliefprogrammes.
Research has shown that some programmes are particularly
effective for certain pains. These have been indicated under the
“SpecicUses”section.
The following grid summarises the programmes available and
how they vary.
* F-Theuserincreasesthestrengthtothedesiredlevelintherst7seconds.Thestrength
drops down 90% over a period of 6 seconds and then gradually starts increasing again to the
original setting over a period of 6 sec.
* G-Thefrequencystartsat2Hzandafterevery3minutesshiftstothenextfrequencysetting.
After21minutesitreturnsbackto2Hzandstartsthecycleoveragain.NBSpecicationsare
nominal and subject to variation from the listed values.

9. CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
USAGE - TENS can be used for as long as is necessary.
Continuous treatment is ne, but electrode pads should be
repositionedregularly(atleastevery12hours)toallowtheskin
to be exposed to the air.
The Endorphin Release programmes work better when the
strength is high enough to cause small muscle contractions. Best
results are achieved at between 20 and 40 minutes. Longer use
may cause muscle ache.
8. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAMME SETTINGS
• Frequency (measured in Hz - pulses per second)
PAIN GATE: A high frequency of 110Hz is good at blocking
pain signals.
ENDORPHINERELEASE:Alowfrequencyof4or10Hzallows
forthereleaseofendorphins,thebody’snaturalmorphine-like
substances.
• Pulse Width (measure in μS - millionths of a second)
The Perfect TENSunithaspulsewidthsof50to250μS.Higher
pulse widths are more likely to cause muscle contractions.
Smaller muscles will contract at lower pulse widths.
• Constant and Burst Modes
Constant mode is when the sensation is continuous versus
Burstmodewhenthesensation,isitsnameimplies,isoneofon
and off. Burst gives a combination of Pain Gate and Endorphin
Release,butthesqueezingfeelingmaynotbeascomfortable.
• Modulation Modes
Modulation is when either the frequency or pulse width sweep
across range of settings. This enables the body to receive many
differentsignalsandcanbeverybenecialandlessenany
effect of accommodation. See programmes F and G.
• HAN Stimulation
InventedbyaProfessorHan,thisalternatesbetweenhighand
lowfrequenciestogive-intheory-thebestpainrelief.

13. POSITIONING OF ELECTRODE PADS
• TENSworksonevertebraatatime.Youneedtostimulatethe
sensory nerves that enter the spine at the same level as the
nerve carrying your pain. Since you don’t know exactly where
yournervesare,thesimplestthingisapplythepadsaround/
near to the source of the pain.
• TENS activates the nerves best if it travels along the nerve
rather than across it. So place one pad farther from the spine
thanthesourceofthepain,andonecloser.
• Thenerveswraparoundthelimbsandtorso,soyoumayhave
to try a few positions before you get the best effect.
• Ifthepainisin,orcloseto,yourspineyoucanplaceonepad
either side of the spine.
• Youmayfeelmoresensationinonepadthantheother.Thisis
normal – it depends on where the pads are in relation to your
nerves.
The following pictures show some typical pad positions for a
range of common complaints.
NOTES: For symptoms not illustrated, seek advice from
your doctor or physiotherapist.
The electrode pads must always be used in pairs (two pads on
eachchannel),sothatthesignalcanowinacircuit.
Always check unit is OFF before attaching or removing pads.
Perfect TENS 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.
Forareasthataredifculttoreach,whynotaskafriendtohelp
you attach the pads?
See Section 17 for information on where you should not
place pads.
Whereonlytwopadsareshownonthearm,shoulder,andleg,use the
other two pads either on the opposite limb or place all four pads on the
same limb in a square pattern with each pad being 4 inches apart.

15. TROUBLESHOOTING
If your TENS machine is not working properly please check
the following:
17 18
If the above review has failed to resolve your problem, or to
report unexpected operation or events, call TensCare or your
localdealer(addressonbackcover)foradvice.
16. CLEANING
Clean the case and lead wires at least once a week by wiping
with a damp cloth and a solution of mild soap and water. Wipe dry.
Do Not immerse your TENS machine in water.
Do Not use any other cleaning solution than soap and water.
14. GENERAL PAD ADVICE
• The electrode pads supplied are reusable but are for single
patient use.
• Inordertoobtainthebestconductivitythroughthe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 pads on the plastic liner and
replaceinthere-sealableplasticbag.
• Ifthepadsdryoutthenitisbesttobuyareplacementpackof
electrodes. 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
pads will become too soft. If that happens then it is suggested
inordertotryandre-establishsomeadhesiveness,placethem
sticky side up in a refrigerator for a few hours.
• Inveryhotweatherthegelonthepadsmaybecomesoft.In
suchcasesplacethepads,stillontheirplasticlinersandintheir
bag into a fridge until they return to their normal condition.
• Thepadsprovidedarelatex-free.
• Replacepadswhentheylosetheirstickiness.
Poor connection may cause discomfort and skin irritation
• 
Storage life of an unopened pack of electrodes is 2 years. This
may be affected by very high temperatures or very low humidity.

19. DISPOSAL OF WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
PRODUCTS (WEEE)
One of the provisions of the European Directive 2002/96/CE
is that anything electrical or electronic should not be treated
