Electrodes
Use only CE marked electrodes and strictly follow the user instructions
on the packaging.
The electrodes supplied by the manufacturer are top-quality, pre-gelled and
ready to be used, particularly indicated for the electrostimulation treatments.
Their wide flexibility allows an easy application over the different areas of
treatment. Take away the protective plastic, position on the skin as indicated
in the user manual and, after using, reposition the protective plastic.
The useful lifetime of an electrode is determined by the pH of the skin. THE
ELECTRODES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A SINGLE-USE. Using the same
electrodes over and over will affect the safety of the stimulation, for this reason
it is forbidden to use the same electrodes when they do not adhere anymore
on the skin; it can lead to skin redness that can last also a few hours after the
end of the treatment. In such cases consult a doctor.
Refer to the indications given on the electrodes’ packaging and at the Warnings
paragraph.
