Warnings
•This unit must be used with the guidance of a Physiotherapist,
Doctor or Continence Advisor.
•Type BF equipment, Continuous Operation.
•Do not insert lead wires into a mains power supply.
•Do not immerse the unit into water or any other substance.
•Do not use the PERITONE in the presence of a flammable
anaesthetic gas mixture and air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
•If using rechargeable 9 Volt PP3 Nickel Metal Hydride batteries,
be sure to use a CE approved battery charger. Never connect the
PERITONE directly to a battery charger or to any other
mains powered equipment.
We advise not to use Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries.
•Patient Electrodes including all skin surface electrodes, vaginal and
anal electrodes are for single patient use only.
•Use only CE approved vaginal or anal electrodes i.e. PERIFORM®+
or ANUFORM®.
•Keep out of reach of children.

Equipment
Do not dispose in normal
dustbin (see page 26 for the
disposal instructions)
•To avoid the effects of electromagnetic interference never use the
PERITONE device, within 4 meters of a cellular telephone or near
any other powerful radio interference producing equipment
that produces electrical sparks etc. In the electromyography
(EMG) mode, the PERITONE device may be susceptible to strong
interfering radio type emissions that may lead to temporarily
increased EMG microvolt readings. The reading will immediately
return to the correct value when the interference ceases.
(Remember that a relaxed muscle should read below 3.5 µvolts)
•No modification of this equipment is allowed!

Introduction
EMG (Electromyography) biofeedback is a method by which muscle
activity is recorded and displayed on a unit to assist in the retraining
of muscles. The PERITONE is a simple to operate, single channel
EMG unit. It has been designed for use in a variety of applications,
in particular for diagnosing continence problems and for
biofeedback of pelvic floor muscles. It can also be used very
effectively for Sports and General Physiotherapy applications.
The PERITONE is an accurate and sensitive single channel EMG
unit that measures muscle activity down to as low as to 0.2 µV
(microvolts) and up to 2000 µV. The diverse range enables the
unit to measure even very weak muscle activity. It displays the
biofeedback by way of bright LED lights on the front of the unit
and also gives audio feedback.
As well as measuring muscle activity, it is important to follow an
individual patient’s progress. By locking the unit, it records the
average work/rest, onset and muscle release parameters and time.
All session data will be added together to form the overall average
reading for the given period. This includes the number of trials
performed and average muscles activity, ideal for when patients
take PERITONE home and return to clinic.
Conditions known to respond to EMG:
•Incontinence •Pelvic pain •Patella femoral pain
•Neck and shoulder girdle pain •Lower Back pain
•Spinal conditions •Chronic tension headache
•Phantom limb pain •Asthma •Post-traumatic stress disorders
•Neuro feedback •Repetitive strain injury

Contraindications & Precautions
Read this operating manual before using the PERITONE
EMG should not be used:
•During menstrual period (when using a vaginal probe).
•If symptoms of bladder infection are present.
•During pregnancy (unless medically advised).
•With patients who have diminished mental capacity or physical
competence who cannot handle the unit properly.
•Do not place electrodes inside mouth.
•The patient should use the unit only as prescribed.
•Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.
•If in doubt about the use of the PERITONE unit, call your Doctor,
Physiotherapist, Continence Advisor or your distributor for advice.

Quick Start Instructions
1. Insert a 9 volt PP3 Alkaline battery into the battery compartment.
Can also use a rechargeable Nickel Hydride battery which has
a longer life than the Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries.
2. Insert the EMG reference and EMG lead wires into the labelled
sockets at the top of the unit as shown on page 9.
3. For pelvic floor muscle biofeedback - remove the surface
electrodes and/or PERIFORM®+ or ANUFORM®from their
outer packaging. For the time being, do not remove the surface
electrodes from the clear plastic film.
4. Connect one surface electrode to the pin connector at the end
of the EMG reference lead wire. The reference lead wire only
requires one surface electrode. Attach the PERIFORM®+ or
ANUFORM®cables to the pin connectors at the end of the EMG
lead wire.
5. For general muscle biofeedback – instead of attaching the
PERIFORM®+ or ANUFORM®electrode to the EMG cables attach
2 surface electrodes.
6. Make sure your skin around the treatment area is free from
grease or oil.
7. Carefully peel the electrodes from the clear plastic film -
Do not throw this plastic film away.
8. Attach the electrode(s) to the appropriate muscle and insert the
PERIFORM®+ or ANUFORM®if you are using it. The reference
electrode should be placed over a bony point i.e. for pelvic floor
retraining place on the hip area.
9. Turn the unit on by pressing ON/OFF button once.
