Cleaning; Emc; Disposal Of Waste Electrical And Electronic Products (Weee) - TensCare Alivia Gebrauchsanweisung

Note: Sometimes the wearing
of tight-fitting undergarments or
a tight pair of jeans will help to
keep the probe in place and maintain
correct contact during the programme.
For Faecal incontinence, the aim is to
stimulate the external sphincter and/or
pubo-rectal muscle,
electrodes should be placed so that the
external ring is just inside the sphincter.
For Urinary Stress incontinence the aim
is to stimulate the levator muscles and
the probe should be inserted deeper.

16. CLEANING

It is important that the probe is cleaned
before using for the first time and after
each use. Clean with either an alcohol-
free antibacterial
TensCare Wipes (see X-WIPES) or by
washing with warm soapy water. Rinse
in clean water and dry thoroughly and
return the unit to the storage pouch. Do
not immerse the probe in a liquid.
Clean the case of the unit and lead wire
at least once a week using the same
method.
• Do not immerse your Alivia unit in
water.
• Do not use any other cleaning
solution.
