Can I Shower?
When wearing the Universal Pendant
with the Electrode Patch you can shower with the
Pendant and patch on. When done in the shower gently pat (not rub) the face of the patch and
the Pendant dry. Remove the Pendant from the patch cradle to dry behind the Pendant, then
reinsert in the cradle immediately.
When wearing the Cable Cradle with cable DO NOT wear the Cable Cradle or cable in the
shower.
1. Disconnect the cable from the Pendant and set the unit aside.
2. Unsnap the wires from electrodes. A diagram in the Patient Guide will help you to
replace them correctly when re-connecting.
Remove electrodes if skin is very irritated or if it has been 72 hours or more (per electrode
manufacturer's directive) since the last electrode change. If you don't need to remove the
electrodes, just make sure that water does not fall directly on them.
Tip For During Shower
The Electrode Patch and Pendant are water resistant. They will withstand brief periods in
contact with water – such as when showering. You can and should wear the Electrode Patch
and Pendant while showering but do not submerge or soak the devices in water.
If it is time to remove the electrodes, try removing them during your shower after they have
become thoroughly soaked with water. This will make removal easier.
Tip For After Shower
Please make sure to dry both the pendant and the cradle that holds the pendant after getting
wet.
If you are replacing Electrode Patch or single electrodes: After showering, determine where
electrode will be placed (refer to the diagram in the Patient Guide for placement) and dry your
skin well in those areas.
If wearing the Cable Cradle with individual electrodes: Snap the wires onto the electrodes. Now,
carefully remove the back plastic cover from each electrode in turn and press the electrodes to
your skin so that complete contact is made with the adhesive backing. Plug the cable into the
Cable Cradle if it has been unplugged. Make sure the Pendant is turned on. The Handset will
resume receiving data from the Pendant.
