Babycare TENS Electrodes 4 Pack

• Make sure your TENS unit is switched off before you attach, move or remove the pads.
• Clean and dry the skin. Do not use creams, oils or lotions where the pads will go.
• Plug the lead wire pins firmly into the electrodes, then peel each pad off its backing film. Hold it by the edges so the gel stays clean.
• Press the pads onto the skin in the positions shown in your TENS instructions. For labour, the usual position is two pads either side of the spine at bra-strap level and two lower down, just above the buttocks.
• After use, switch the unit off, peel the pads off by their edges and put them back on the backing film. Store them in the resealable pack in a cool place.
• Replace the pads when they no longer stick well, usually after 20 to 30 uses.

Safety information

Who should not use it

Do not use TENS if you have a pacemaker or any other implanted electrical device, a heart condition or heart rhythm problem, or epilepsy, unless your doctor says it is safe. Do not use the pads if you are allergic to adhesive or hydrogel.

Warnings & precautions

Only place the pads on clean, healthy skin. Never place them on broken, irritated, numb or sunburnt skin, on the front or sides of the neck, on the head or face, or across the chest. Do not use TENS in the bath or shower, or while driving or operating machinery. The pads are for one person only. Keep them and the TENS unit out of reach of children.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Do not use TENS during pregnancy before labour starts, unless your midwife or doctor advises it. Do not use it in water (for example, a birthing pool). If you are unsure, ask your midwife or pharmacist.

Possible side effects

Some people get mild redness or itching under the pads. This usually fades soon after the pads come off. If you get a rash, blisters or a burning feeling, stop using them and seek advice.

Always read the label

This is a medical device accessory. Always read the label and the instructions that come with your TENS unit before use. If you have any concerns, talk to your midwife, doctor or pharmacist.
