How to test the conductivity of the SaeboStim MicroUpdated a year ago

If you think your SaeboStim Micro isn't working, here's how to test how conductive your unit is.

Step 1:
  • Remove the battery cover
  • Make sure the battery is inserted correctly as the diagram shows
  • Replace the battery cover

Step 2:
  • Connect the black lead to the Electro-Mesh Glove
  • Connect the red lead to the elbow Sleeve
  • Place all three pieces of the SaeboStimMicro on a flat surface

Step 3:
  • Turn on the SaeboStim Micro
  • Increase the intensity to 50-60 volts

Step 4:
  • Place a small amount of Thera-Cream on the tip of your pointer finger

  • Press the tips of your pointer fingers together spreading the Thera-Cream

Step 5:
  • Quickly, place the tips of your right and left pointer fingers on the Electro-Mesh Glove and elbow Sleeve
  • You should feel the electricity
  • If not, increase the voltage to 100 and re-test






The hand contains many nerve endings that allow you to feel the stimulation more than what you will feel in the forearm/elbow area. This does not mean you aren’t getting stimulation to those areas.

The more melanin you have in your skin (the darker your skin color), the higher you have to increase the voltage to feel the stimulation, due to the thickness of the epidural layer of the skin. Also, the older you are, the higher you have to increase the voltage.


Alternative Test


Step 1:
  • Remove the battery cover
  • Make sure the battery is inserted correctly as the diagram shows
  • Replace the battery cover

Step 2:
  • Apply the Thera-Cream to your unaffected elbow
  • Put the elbow Sleeve on to your unaffected arm (over the elbow)
  • Snap the red lead wire to the sleeve

Step 3:
  • Apply the Thera-Cream to your unaffected hand
  • Put the Electro-Mesh Glove on your unaffected hand
  • Snap the black wire on the Electro-Mesh Glove

Step 4:
  • Turn on the SaeboStim Micro and increase the intensity
  • If you DO NOT feel the electricity, increase the voltage until you do
  • When you feel the tingling sensation, this is your baseline, or what you feel “normally”. If you feel tingling sensation on your unaffected side, then you know the unit is working.






For the best results, make sure you are very well hydrated, especially if you live in warmer climates. This will keep your skin moist and you will have better results.
