SPECIAL CARES IN OPERATING
• Clean and dry the skin surface of the body area to be treated.
• Inspect the electrode cords and electrode pads for wear. If they are not in good condition, they
should be replaced. If they are acceptable, then insert the cord pins into each electrode pad.
Electrodes are for single patient use, and are to be used in accordance with the labeling provided
with the electrodes. Electrodes should not be used for multiple patients.
• Make sure the electrode pads are in place to obtain conduction.
• Use the electrode sites recommended by your prescribing physician.
• Increase the output level SLOWLY to that recommended by your clinician. Usually, that will mean increasing
intensity until you can feel the tingling sensation (high pulse rates) or pulsing sensation (low pulse rates) of the
stimulation. Your prescr bing clinician will tell you how far they wish you to turn up the intensity.
• If at any time the electrical stimulation begins to feel uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation
amplitude to a comfortable level and contact your physician if the problem persist.
possibility of electromagnetic disturbance from other equipment in or outside your home exist.
Use caution in using electrical stimulation in situations which may have a potential high frequency
transmitter such as in close proximity to mobile phones in use, airport security systems, or hand
held detectors.
When you are finished using the unit (prior to timer finishing), turn the device off and the LCD display
will disappear. This will conserve battery life. You may now remove the electrode pads from your body.
