Precautions
1.
After removing the electrode from the packaging, check to ensure it is
not damaged.
2.
For the application of the electrodes, select muscles which are well
perfused.
3.
Ensure that the application surfaces are thoroughly clean and dry.
4.
Ensure that the electrodes have secure, even contact with the skin and
smooth down all edges. Prevent liquids from getting into the contact
area.
5.
Connect the electrodes with the plug connector of the cables to the tab
provided.
6.
Connect the cables to the connection ports on the device.
7.
Remove the electrodes from the skin after use by slowly pulling them off,
starting at one corner. Tearing the electrodes off the skin quickly can
lead to skin damage.
Inadequate skin contact over the entire adhesive surface of the electrode
can lead to skin burns or a decreased emission of power.
The emission of very high power can lead to problems.
Verify that patient skin contact is even and check clips, connection cable
and connections.
Check all of the accessories you are using to conduct the therapy for
functionality. If no problem can be identified, replace the active
accessories prior to treatment.
The electrodes should in no way be cut or modified.
Store the electrodes dry, out of direct sunlight. The recommended
temperature for storage is between 5°C and 30°C.
Do not use the electrode after the expiration date!
