Noninvasive
Electrodes will ensure that the patient can obtain up to 12 or more
treatments from one set of electrodes. Remove both electrodes, place
back onto their respective plastic release liners, and return the electrodes
into and reseal the resealable bag. Adding 3 to 6 drops of saline to
the hydrogel surface of the Biowave

Percutaneous Electrodes are sterile single-use electrodes and
must be disposed of in sharps disposal immediately following a treatment.
• Do not expose the BiowavePRO

Neurostimulator to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or direct sunlight. Store at room temperature. The stimulator may
not operate properly if it is exposed to extreme conditions.
• Cleaning should only be done after making sure that the AC Charger
is not plugged into the stimulator. The cleaning solution could wet the
AC Charger, which will damage the AC Charger and the BiowavePRO
®
Neurostimulator.
7.2 Disposal of Waste Products
• Biowave Percutaneous electrodes are sterile, single-use electrodes which
should be disposed of in a manner similar to other sharps and/or infectious
medical waste.
• When the Li-ion battery system is replaced in the BiowavePRO Stimulator,
the old battery should be recycled appropriately. Similarly, at the end of its
useful life disposal of the BiowavePRO Neurostimulator and power supply
must comply with local regulations.
