the initial results are not positive, speak to your physician about al-
ternative stimulation settings and/or electrode placements. Once an
acceptable placement has been achieved, mark the electrode sites
and the settings, so that effective treatment may effectively continue
at home.
Chapter 18: TIPS FOR SKIN CARE
To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow
these suggestions:
1. Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the electrodes,
using mild soap and water before applying electrodes, and after
taking them off. Be sure to rinse soap off thoroughly and dry
skin well.
2. Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; do not shave
stimulation area.
3. Wipe the area with the skin preparation your physician has
recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed.
4. Many skin problems arise from the “pulling stress” from adhesive
patches that are excessively stretched across the skin during
application. To prevent this, apply electrodes from center
outward; avoid stretching over the skin.
5. To minimize “pulling stress”, tape extra lengths of lead wires to
the skin in a loop to prevent tugging on electrodes.
6. When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the
direction of hair growth.
7. It may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area
when not wearing electrodes.
8. Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.
Chapter 19: APPLICATION OF RE-USABLE SELF
ADHESIVE ELECTRODES
Application
1. Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly with
soap and water prior to application of electrodes.
2. Insert the lead wire into the pin connector on the pre-wired
electrodes.
3. Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply the
electrodes firmly to the treatment site. Make sure that the unit is
turned off prior to applying the electrodes.
Removal
1. Turn off the unit prior to removing the
electrodes.
2. Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel;
do not pull on the lead wires because it
may damage the electrodes.
3. Place the electrodes on the liner and
remove the lead wire by twisting and
pulling at the same time.
Care and Storage
1. Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a
cool dry place.
2 . 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.
Important
1. Do not apply to broken skin.
2. The electrodes should be discarded and re-ordered from your
physician when they are no longer adhering.
3. The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician.
5. Read the instructions for use of self-adhesive electrodes before
application.
