TheraTouch® CX2/CX4/EX4

•
Apply electrodes to normal, healthy, dry,
clean skin (of adult patients) because
it may otherwise disrupt the healing
process.
•
If the patient experiences any skin
irritation or redness after a session,
DO
NOT
continue stimulation in that area
of the skin.
DO NOT
bend or fold the
electrode because it may not function
properly. Place the self-adhesive
electrodes onto the plastic film and
then store into the sealed package
when not in use.
•
DO NOT
apply ointment or any solvent
to the electrodes or to the patient’s skin
because it will disrupt the electrodes
from functioning properly
•
The electrodes are already pre-gelled
and will adhere to clean skin.
•
To avoid damage to the adhesive
surface of the electrodes, put them
only on the skin or on the plastic film
provided.
•
Make sure the components are
connected well and the electrodes are
fixed on the part of the body you wish
to treat or the therapy may not be
effective.
DO NOT USE ELECTRODES THIS WAY:
•
Self-adhesive electrodes are for single-
patient use only.
DO NOT
use electrodes
on several different patients to avoid
transferring any contamination.
•
Electrodes should not touch each other
when placed onto patient’s skin. Keep
them at least 1 1/2" apart but no more
than 6" per channel. Electrodes too
close together or touching could result
in improper stimulation or skin burns.
•
DO NOT
place on patient’s spine or
backbone.
•
Electrodes should not touch any metal
object, such as a belt buckle
or necklace.
•
Electrodes should not be placed
simultaneously on both appendages
(i.e. both legs, both arms).
•
DO NOT
place or relocate the
electrodes while the device is on.
•
Always turn the power off before
removing or changing the
electrode location.
•
DO NOT
leave electrodes attached to
the skin after treatment.
•
DO NOT
lean against or lay on
electrodes while administering
electrotherapy as this could cause an
increase in stimulation.
