Adjusting Intensity During
Therapy Session
Frequent adjustments should not be necessary;
however, if the sensation is not strong, if it feels
uncomfortable, or your calf muscle is twitching,
please follow the instructions below:
Decrease Intensity:
Click the button.
Each click
decreases intensity. Lights will flash and then go
down to indicate intensity has decreased.
Increase Intensity:
Hold button down
until you
see the lights run up and go off to increase the
intensity. Intensity increases until you release the
button or for a maximum of 20 seconds. If you still
need to increase intensity after 20 seconds, hold
the button down again.
You may adjust intensity as needed at any time
during a therapy session.
Maximum pain relief will be obtained at the
highest intensity that is also comfortable.
To learn how to control your Quell device with your
smartphone app, please review Chapter 9, Using
the Mobile App.
Ending Therapy Session
Therapy sessions will run automatically 60 minutes
on then 60 minutes off unless you manually turn
off therapy during a session or recalibrate.
To manually stop therapy during a session, click
the button four times in sequence.
You should
not remove the device while it is stimulating,
so
make sure that the indicator light is not blinking
white before removing the device and electrode
from your leg otherwise you may experience
an uncomfortable sensation when you touch
the electrode.
After completing a therapy session, you may
either leave the device on your leg or remove
it. If you remove the device, be careful not to
damage the electrode and remember to reapply
the liner (see page 14 for instructions on
removing electrode).
If you leave the device on your leg for long periods
of time, you should check your skin frequently to
make sure that it does not get irritated. Chapter 8
provides information on skin care.
If a problem arises during a therapy session,
stimulation will stop and the indicator light will
blink orange for 2 minutes. Refer to APPENDIX B
for troubleshooting assistance.
Air-out skin after wearing several hours or
overnight. After 4 hours of wear, device will pulse
on and off for 1 minute as a reminder.
