6. CLEANING AND CARE
6.1 Tips for Skin Care
Follow these suggestions to avoid skin irritation, especially if you have
sensitive skin:
1. Clean the treatment area with mild soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry area completely before placing electrodes on
or around the treatment area.
2. Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; DO NOT shave
stimulation area.
6.2 Cleaning the Device
1. Unplug the device before you clean the device.
2. Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly moistened cloth.
For hard to clean situations, you can also moisten the cloth
with mild soapy water.
3.
DO NOT
use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents for cleaning.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
submerse the device in liquids. Should the
unit become accidentally submersed, contact the dealer or
Authorized Service center immediately.
DO NOT
attempt to use a
system that has been submersed in liquid until inspected and tested
by a Service Technician certified by an Authorized Service center. Do
not allow liquids to enter the ventilation holes.
6.3 Cleaning the Electrodes
1. Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode
before storing.
2. It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a
few drops of cold water over the adhesive on the electrode and
turn the surface up to air dry. Over-saturation of the electrode with
water will reduce the adhesive properties. This can only be done
once, then electrodes need to be replaced. If any electrodes are
not sticking completely to the skin (no edges lifting) replace with
new electrodes, to avoid possible injury.
3. The rubber electrodes should be cleaned with lukewarm water.
To disinfect the electrodes or to remove stubborn stains of dirt, use
a 70% alcohol solution. The alcohol solution may discolor the
electrode; however, this does not aect the operation of the
electrodes.
