At Birth & Baby, we take hygiene seriously to ensure our equipment is safe, clean, and ready for use.

Between Every Hire

Each TENS machine is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between clients using hospital-grade disinfectant on all external surfaces, including:

  • Control unit

  • Leads and connectors

  • Buttons and casing

All machines are tested between hires to ensure they are functioning correctly, with strong output and reliable performance.

Client Responsibilities

To maintain the highest hygiene standards:

  • Electrode pads are single-use only and are not reused between clients

  • Our electrode pads meet relevant safety standards for consumer TENS use.

  • Each client receives their own set of electrodes for personal use

  • Used electrodes are disposed of after hire

Storage & Handling

We ask all clients to:

  • Use the TENS machine on clean, intact skin only

  • Not share electrodes with others

  • Return the unit in its case after use

Additional Safety Measures

  • Equipment is checked after each return for cleanliness and function

  • Any item that cannot be cleaned to standard is removed from circulation

  • We do not hire out equipment that shows signs of damage or contamination
