Ensure good contact between each electrode and the skin.

Check the electrode contact regularly during the treatment.

Examine the skin again after the treatment.

Choose electrodes to properly fit the anatomy.

Warning: Use of rubbing alcohol on the lead wires will damage the insulation and dramatically shorten their life.

Lead wires wiped clean with a cloth dampened in a mild soap solution?

Clean the treatment area with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry area completely before placing electrodes on or around the treatment area.

Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; DO NOT shave stimulation area.

Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode before storing.

Improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of cold water over the adhesive on the electrode and turn the surface up to air dry. Over-saturation of the electrode with water will reduce the adhesive properties.

If any electrodes are not sticking completely to the skin (no edges lifting) replace with new electrodes, to avoid possible injury.

The rubber electrodes should be cleaned with lukewarm water. To disinfect the electrodes or to remove stubborn stains of dirt, use a 70% alcohol solution.

Ensure electrode is completely dry before using the treatment. Check with patient to ensure the patient is not allergic to any cleaning solution used to clean the rubber electrodes, prior to administering treatment.

Follow these suggestions to avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin:

1. Clean the treatment area with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry area completely before placing electrodes on or around the treatment area.

2. Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; DO NOT shave stimulation area.

1. Unplug the device before you clean the device.

2. Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly moistened cloth.

For hard to clean situations, you can also moisten the cloth with mild soapy water.
