actiTENS is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS), operated via a mobile application and based on the TENS principle to relieve pain in adults.
Back to an Active Life
Specifically designed to offer an ergonomic and discreet solution, the device adapts to various body types and different areas of the body and can be worn under clothing. actiTENS comes with a wide range of accessories, including specialized electrodes and various fastening supports, all designed to optimize pain management during daily activities.
One app, two functions
The actiTENS app is a personalised treatment tool that allows users to both control the device via the integrated remote control function and access the list of programmes. The app also serves as a therapy monitoring tool through the “My Health” menu, and supports mobility tracking thanks to the built-in pedometer.
Patient Account Creation and Cloud Security
For an even more personalized experience, actiTENS offers the option to create a patient account. This account not only saves preferences and tracking data in a secure cloud. Creating an account ensures information portability, regardless of the smartphone used. This functionality ensures continuity in treatment monitoring, promoting optimal care.
Recommendation from Healthcare Professionals
Despite the customization available through the application, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended. This ensures proper electrode placement and the selection of programmes most suitable for each user's specific situation.
actiTENS represents a innovative and discreet solution for pain management. With the integration of a pedometer and the option to create a patient account, it provides a comprehensive approach to well-being while ensuring the security and continuity of treatment monitoring.

- Use Statement
- The actiTENS Mini is a connected medical device for transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation designed to treat pain in adults. The intended patient population for actiTENS Mini medical device is adult patients (persons over 18 years of age with unimpaired intellectual abilities) suffering from pain, and being mentally and physically capable of placing the electrodes and adjusting the intensity, or capable of expressing pain or wishes regarding treatment modifications or treatment termination.
- Safety Information
- 1. CONTRAINDICATIONS
actiTENS Mini should not be used on the following patients without medical advice:
• Patients with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, or other similar
electronic implantable devices.
• Patients at risk of heart problems.
• Patients with epilepsy.
• Patients with decreased or impaired sensation or sensibility on the area to be
treated, for example patients suffering from allodynia (pain triggered by a
normally painless stimulus).
• actiTENS Mini should not be used on pregnant women without medical advice.
The electrodes must not be placed on the abdomen of a pregnant woman.
Failure to respect these contraindications may have serious consequences and be
harmful to the patient.
2. RESIDUAL RISKS AND UNDESIRABLE SIDE EFFECTS
• Use of the actiTENS Mini may in certain cases cause hyperalgesia (abnormally
amplified pain caused by a painful stimulus). It is recommended to stop using the
device and to consult a healthcare professional.
• Use of the actiTENS Mini may in certain cases cause erythema (redness), skin
irritation, inflammation, allergy or burns in the area where the electrodes are placed
or the area where textile accessories are fixed. In case of skin irritation after a
stimulation session, you should stop the treatment temporarily and consult a
healthcare professional.
• If the electrodes start to peel off, this may cause a slight electric shock. Make sure
you change your electrodes regularly to limit peeling off (see section 12).
• Using the actiTENS Mini may cause temporary muscular pain or involuntary muscular
contractions. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before using
the device and stop using it if these effects happen.
• Some accessories (cables, AC charger and textile accessories) may present a risk of
strangulation.
All serious incidents related to the use of the device must be declared to the
manufacturer at the address contact@subli-med.com and the competent authority
of the member state where the user lives (cf list on the back of the instructions).
3. WARNINGS
• Always keep the actiTENS Mini and its accessories out of reach of children, animals
and persons of impaired intellectual ability, to avoid any risk to them or damage to
the equipment.
• Do not position the electrode and the neurostimulator on the front of the neck
(especially the carotid sinus) as this may cause adverse effects on heart rate or blood
pressure or cause severe muscle spasms resulting in airway closure, difficulty
breathing.
• Do not place the electrodes on either side of the heart. Putting the electrodes near
the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
• Do not use the neurostimulator for transcranial stimulation (electrodes on either
side of the head), the effects of transcranial stimulation on the brain are unknown.
• Do not place the electrodes directly over the spinal column.
• Do not place the electrodes on a pathological limb (active phlebitis). Never place the
electrodes inside body openings; they are designed solely for external application.
Do not apply stimulation directly to the eyeballs or mouth.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes must only be used by a single patient.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the actiTENS Mini neurostimulator; there is a risk
of electric shock.
• Do not use the neurostimulator when the patient is connected to high frequency
surgical equipment (e.g. an electrical scalpel). The simultaneous use may cause
burns under the electrodes and the neurostimulator may be damaged.
• Do not use the actiTENS Mini neurostimulator in the immediate vicinity (e.g. 1 m)
of shortwave or microwave devices. The output power of the device may be
affected, which may turn into painful reactions.
• Do not use the actiTENS Mini neurostimulator near electronic surveillance
equipment (e.g. cardiac monitors, ECG, EEG), as there is a risk they may not work
properly whilst the neurostimulator is being used.
• Keep the actiTENS Mini neurostimulator away from water and any other liquids as
this may cause unpredictable current flows and damage the product.
• Do not use the actiTENS Mini in an explosive environment (e.g. a filling station).
• Do not use the actiTENS Mini device in emergency medical services.
• We recommend that you do not use the actiTENS Mini neurostimulator while
driving a vehicle or handling dangerous equipment (saw, lawnmower...) because of
the risk of uncontrolled muscle contractions if the intensity is too high. An accidental
change in stimulation could divert attention and cause a dangerous situation.
• We recommend not to use the actiTENS Mini neurostimulator while sleeping, as
pain may be felt too late.
• Caution should be taken in the case of patients with psychological disorders or
electrophobia.
• Do not use several actiTENS Mini neurostimulators simultaneously on the same
