N602 Accurate TENS

The N602 Accurate -TENS  is a user-friendly portable analogue TENS machine.

TENS can be used for :

• pain relief
• treatment of bladder and bowel urgency and frequency

• If you have been prescribed a TENS machine for treating OAB (overactive bladder) or FI (faecal incontinence or urgency) you may find THIS VIDEO helpful.
• In the video our Physiotherapist, Fiona, demonstrates how to set up and use your TENS machine for TTNS - Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation. 
  External adhesive electrodes are attached to the inside ankle to gently stimulate the tibial nerve, helping to reduce urinary and faecal urgency.
• If you are using your TENS machine for pelvic pain, you may find THIS VIDEO helpful to guide electrode placement for best results

The N602 Accurate-TENS model  allows you to adjust the:

• pulse width (uS) 
• frequency (Hz)
• timer (continuous, 15 min or 30 min) 
• mode  
  B : burst : low and high frequency (combination of A-L and Conventional TENS) 
  N : conventional TENS ( high frequency) with the ability to control all parameters
  M : modulated pulse width
  Intensity controls ( on top of machine) and parameter controls (on front of machine) both have  covers to prevent unexpected changes in any of the settings during use whilst allowing you to see at a glance what settings you are on.

Small, light-weight but durable, the N602 Accurate-TENS is an ideal choice for pain relief and treatment of bladder and bowel urgency.

What you get:

• TENS unit
• 9 volt battery 
• 2 x leads

This unit will also run on a rechargeable 9V battery, please follow instructions in the manual for use.

IMPORTANT when using your Accurate TENS machine.

• turn dial clockwise to turn on and to increase intensity
• turn dial anti-clockwise to turn off or decrease intensity
• you should hear a click when you turn on and you must turn far enough to hear a click when turning off - failure to do so will mean the battery is still discharging current and will be flat when you try to use it again.
• do NOT force the dial
• once on, an orange light will flash or flicker beneath the dial for frequencies below 20Hz
• it flashes at the same rate as the frequency (Hz)
• if the frequency is set around 20Hz or higher the light will appear to stay on
