APPLICATION OF RE-USABLE SELF ADHESIVE ELECTRODES

Application

  • Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly with soap and water prior to application of electrodes.
  • Insert the lead wire into the pin connector in the pre-wired electrodes.
  • Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply the electrodes firmly to the treatment site.

Very Important!

  • Do not apply to broken skin.
  • The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
  • The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
  • If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician.
  • Read the instruction for use of self-adhesive electrodes before application.

Care and Storage

  • Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealed bag in a cool dry place.
  • It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over Saturation with water will reduce the adhesive properties.

Removal

  • Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel; do not pull on the lead wires be cause it may damage the electrodes.
  • Place the electrodes on the liner and remove the lead wire by twisting and pulling at the same time.
