7.2. Use of self-adhesive electrodes
7.2.1. Application
• Clean the skin thoroughly with soap and water before application of the elec-
trodes
• Excessive hair should be cut, but not shaved
• Connect the wires to the electrodes
• Pull the safety cover off the electrodes and apply firmly to the skin area by pressing.
7.2.2. Removal
• Lift the electrodes at the corner and gently pull off. Do not pull at the electrode
wire, as this might damage the electrodes
• Re-glue the electrodes to the safety cover and then remove the wires by carefully
turning and pulling.
7.2.3. Care and storage
Your sanowell Life Tens will only achieve best results when electrodes and wires are
cared for accordingly.
• Clean the wires with a damp cloth; slight powdering with talcum (f. ex. baby pow-
der) will prevent tangling of the wires and improves their durability
• After each application please store the electrodes in their re-closeable bags in a
cool dry place (f. ex. the refrigerator)
• Life time of the electrodes is improved by applying a drop of cool tap water (please
do not use distilled water) to the adhesive area and air drying the surface turned
up. Moistening the adhesive area too much may spoil the adhesive capability.
8. General safety and precautionary measures

manual.
• Only employ accessories recommended by hofmann gmbh.

by TENS without prior permission of their physician.
