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 centre 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.
CHAPTER 15: APPLICATION OF RE-USABLE SELF
ADHESIVE ELECTRODES
15.1 Application
1.
Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly
with soap and water prior to application of electrodes.
2.
Insert the lead wire into the pin connector on the
pre-wired electrodes.
3.
Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and
apply the electrodes firmly to the treatment site.
15.2 Removal
1.
Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel; do not pull on the
lead wires because it may damage the electrodes.
2.
Place the electrodes on the liner and remove the lead
wire by twisting and pulling at the same time.
