7.3 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, 4cm*4cm self-adhering based, square electrodes
are used at the treatment area.
3. Inspect your electrodes before every use. Replace electrodes as needed. Reusable
electrodes may cause slight skin irritation, lose adhesion and deliver less stimulation if
overused.
Lead Wire Pin
Adhesive Pad
Reusable, Self-adhering Electrodes
To use these electrodes:
1. Attach the electrode to the lead wire.
2. Remove the protective backing from the electrode surface. Do not throw away the
protective backing because it is reused after the treatment session has been completed.
3. Place the tacky surface to the prescribed skin area by pressing the electrode firmly against
the skin.
To remove your electrodes:
1. Lift the corner of the electrode and gently remove it from the skin.
2. Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode. Place the electrode on the
side of the protective backing that is labeled with the word on.
3. It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of cold water
over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over Saturation with water will
reduce the adhesive properties.
4. Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a cool dry place.
Caution:
• Do not pull on the electrode wire. Doing so may damage the wire and electrode.
