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
