6. CLEANING AND CARE
6.1 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 clinician 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.
6.2 Cleaning the device
1) Remove the battery from the device every time when you clean.
2) Clean the device after use with a soft, slight moistened cloth.
In case of more extreme soiling you can also moisten the cloth
with mild soapy water.
3) Do not use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents for
cleaning.
6.3 Electrodes
1) Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided by
the manufacturer. Use only the electrode placements and
stimulation settings prescribed by your physician or therapist.
2) It is recommended that, at minimum, 1.5” x I .5” self-adhering
electrodes should be used at the treatment area.
