3) Wipe the area with the skin preparation your clinician has
recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed.
4) Many skin problems arise from the “pulling stress” from
adhesive patches that are excessively stretched across the skin
during application. To prevent this, apply electrodes from center
outward; avoid stretching over the skin.
5) To minimize “pulling stress”, tape extra lengths of lead wires to
the skin in a loop to prevent tugging on electrodes.
6) When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the
direction of hair growth.
7) It may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area
when not wearing electrodes.
8) Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.
6.2 Cleaning the device
1) Remove the battery from the device every time when you clean
the device.
2) Clean the device after use with a soft, slight moistened cloth.
In case of more extreme soiling you can also moisten the
cloth with mild soapy water.
3) Do not use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents for
cleaning.
6.3 Electrodes
1) Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided by
the manufacturer. Use only the electrode placements and
stimulation settings prescribed by your physician or therapist.
2) It is recommended that, at minimum, 1.5” x 1.5” self-adhering
electrodes should be used at the treatment area.
3) Inspect your electrodes before every use. Replace electrodes
as needed. Reusable electrodes may
cause slight skin irritation,
lose adhesion properties and deliver less stimulation if
overused.
