ENGLISH 5
- determining individual treatment and adapting
settings of the TENS device by means of the
Wireless TENS Pro PC Application (PR3094 only)
The Wireless TENS Pro PC Application is only for use
by a healthcare professional in combination with the
Wireless TENS Pro device (PR3094), which enables
the healthcare professional to offer more specic
TENS treatment programs and enables the healthcare
professional to track and analyse the patient’s activity
patterns in relation to the use of the device.
The device is intended to be used and operated by
and on one single adult person. It should always be
used in accordance with the safety information and
operating instructions included in this user manual
and for the purpose for which it is designed.
TENS and pain management
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a
non-invasive pain relief method for which clinical proof
exists that it can help relieve pain. TENS is used daily
by physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals.
During TENS treatment, electrical pulses are passed
across the intact surface of the skin to activate the
underlying nerves. Clinical evidence suggests that TENS
produces pain relief in a similar way to the nervous
system’s own pain-relief mechanisms, for instance
similar to massaging a painful area.
The pulses are generated by the battery-powered
TENS units, which have to be connected to the selfadhesive hydrogel electrodes. You can choose from
a set of preset TENS programs with different pulse
settings and can adjust the intensity of the pulse
according to your own preference. This booklet
contains information on the placing of the electrodes
and the programs used for treatment.
ENGLISH6
Activity monitoring and pain management
We all want to enjoy doing our daily activities.
When you experience pain, however, the instinctive
reaction is to avoid pain by reducing your activity
level. As a result, you become less t and less able
to enjoy doing the things you like. Staying active,
without overdoing it, is important to avoid being
trapped in a persistent pain cycle. The key to selfmanaging your pain is pacing: distributing periods of
activity and periods of rest over the day in a way
that feels most comfortable for you. The key to
pacing is spreading out your activities and ‘taking a
break before you need it’. An activity monitor can
help you keep track of how well you pace your
activities over the day. The remote control of the
Wireless TENS device has a built-in activity monitor
that records your activity when you wear it attached
to your belt or waistband or when you carry it
around in the pocket of your trousers or skirt. It
can record and store the activity data of 60 days. In
this way, you cannot only check your activity pattern
over the last 24 hours, but also your activity pattern
of the previous week and the previous month. If
you want to get more tips on pacing and how to
self-manage your pain, please read the Pain Toolkit
booklet included in the packaging.*
* Note:Only the German version of the Pain Toolkit
is included in the package. If you want to have the
English, French or Italian version, please go to
www.philips.com/pain-management to
download your preferred version.

Preset programs
Program overview
The device comes standard with 8 preset programs
(PR3093) or 15 preset programs (PR3094). There
are three different TENS types: Conventional TENS,
Burst TENS and Frequency-modulated TENS. For
more details, see below.
Conventional TENS programs
Conventional TENS is a common TENS program
with high-frequency stimulation. It is based on the
Gate Control Theor y that states that this type
of stimulation will cause the transmission of pain
signals in the nervous system to be blocked. It is
comparable to ‘rubbing the pain away’. Most people
use Conventional TENS for 30 minutes per session,
but you can use it as often and as long as you
feel comfortable with. The effect is usually most
perceptible during stimulation. The effect generally
wears off rather quickly when stimulation has ended.
You should adjust the intensity of the program so that
you clearly feel the stimulation. Stimulations should
not give an unpleasant or painful sensation, however.

Burst TENS programs
Burst TENS offers a high-frequency stimulation that
comes in trains of pulses. This type of stimulation is
known to trigger endorphin release. Endorphins are
pain killers produced by the body. You can use Burst
TENS around 30 minutes multiple times a day, for
example 3 times. You are advised to adjust the intensity
of the Burst program so that you feel the stimulation
strongly. Burst programs generally give a sharper
sensation, which can feel somewhat unpleasant. It is also

advised to adjust the intensity to a level that produces
visible muscle contractions in the stimulation area.
These contractions are not harmful. If you nd these
contractions too uncomfortable, you can decrease
the intensity, choose a different program or move the
electrodes to a different place. Burst TENS should
preferably be applied while resting, since it can result in
muscle contraction in the stimulation area.

Using the device
Attaching the electrodes and TENS units
1 Make sure the skin you want to place the
electrodes on looks healthy and is free from
wounds or rashes.
Note: Do not place electrodes on red or inamed
skin and skin with open wounds, cancerous lesions or
rashes.
2 Clean the skin with a moist cloth and dry it.
The skin you want to place the electrodes
on must be dry, clean and free from cream or
lotion.
Note: Dirt, grease or particles left on the skin may
lodge themselves in the hydrogel of the electrodes. This
has an adverse effect on the adhesive power of the
electrodes.
3 Take the electrodes from the plastic bag and
check them for damage and signs of wear.
Caution: Do not use electrodes whose use-by
date has expired. The use-by date is shown on the
resealable plastic bag.
Note: Replace the electrodes when they are damaged or
dirty, when they have lost their adhesive power or when
the stimulation becomes uncomfortable, i.e. when you
experience an unpleasant stinging or biting sensation.
4 Pull the electrode off the liner and place it on
the skin at the place you want to treat. See
section ‘Electrode placement’ below and the
placement guide at the end of this manual.
ENGLISH26
5 Place the second electrode on the body part
you want to treat. In the case of PR3094, you
can also place a third and fourth electrode on
the body part you want to treat.
Note: Always place the electrodes on the skin before
you connect the TENS units
Note: Do not place the electrodes on top of each other
or so close to each other that they touch each other.
6 Attach the TENS units to the electrodes.
The TENS units have magnets in the centre
to ensure easy connection to the metal
connectors of the electrodes. When the TENS
units lock onto the electrodes properly, you
hear a click.
Note: You can wear the electrodes with the TENS units
attached to them under your clothes, also during
treatment.
Note: During many treatment programs, you can
perform all activities allowed as intended use and not
warned against in chapter ‘Important’ when you wear
the TENS units on your body. You can also continue
to wear the TENS units on your body in between
treatments.
Note: If you want to treat with four electrodes (PR3094
only), you rst attach the TENS units to two electrodes
and then you attach the connectors of the extension
cable to the other two electrodes.
7 Press the on/off button to switch the TENS
units to standby.
, The treatment status indicator on the TENS
units ashes green to indicate that they are in
standby and ready for treatment.
ENGLISH 27
, If you do not start the treatment within 5
minutes, the TENS units switch off automatically.
If this happens, you rst have to press the on/off
button again to start a treatment.
Electrode placement
To receive maximum results from your stimulation, it
is important to place the electrodes correctly. Always
make sure that you have normal skin sensation in
the place you want to treat before you attach the
electrodes. The optimal place may vary slightly from
person to person, so try moving the electrodes
around until you get the most effective results. In
some cases it can be helpful to mark the spot for
future use. For suggestions regarding placement
of the electrodes, see the placement guide at the
end of this manual. Please note that you may need
assistance to place the electrodes on certain spots
on your body.
As a rule, the electrodes should be placed on or
near the painful area. Stimulation may result in
visible muscle contraction in the stimulation area.
This is not harmful, but if you nd these contractions
uncomfortable, move the electrodes to a different
place.
Do not place electrodes on your neck or across
your chest. Do not place electrodes on red or
inamed skin and skin with open wounds, on
cancerous lesions or rashes.

Starting and stopping a treatment (PR3093)
To star t a treatment, you rst have to switch on the
TENS units with the on/off button and then you
press the + side of the intensity button to increase
the intensity.
1 Press + side of the intensity button to set the
intensity. The intensity always starts to increase
from 0 mA. The treatment starts and the timer
starts to count down as soon as the intensity
is higher than 0 mA. The higher the intensity,
the stronger the pulse in the area to which the
electrodes are attached.
, Hold down the + side of the intensity button
to increase the intensity constantly and slowly.
Release the intensity button when you feel you
have found the right level of stimulation.
Note: For Conventional TENS and Frequency-modulated
TENS, you should clearly feel the stimulation, but this
should not be an unpleasant sensation and should not
be painful.
Note: For Burst TENS, you should feel the stimulation
strongly, which generally gives a sharper sensation and can
feel somewhat unpleasant. It is also advised to adjust the
intensity to a level that produces visible muscle contractions
in the stimulation area. These contractions are not harmful.
If you nd the contractions too uncomfortable, you can
decrease the intensity, choose a different program or move
the electrodes to a different place.
, The intensity level is shown in numbers above
the intensity button. The intensity ranges from 0
mA to 60 mA. The intensity level is shown by the
intensity level bar on the right side of the screen.
The higher the bar, the higher the intensity.
