Prior To Electrode Placement

2. Excessive hair may be trimmed with scissors, shaving of application region is not recommended.

 

Application Of Electrodes

 

1. Clean and dry section of skin where electrode pads will be placed.
2. Insert lead wire into the pin connector in the pre-wired electrodes.
3. Remove electrodes from protective plastic liner and place electrodes on desired location of treatment.
4. Many skin irritations occur from the pulling stress that occurs 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.

 

Removal Of Electrodes

 

1. Lift at the edge of Electrode pad and pull, do not pull on the lead wire to remove the electrode this may damage the electrode.
2. When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the direction of hair growth. This lowers your risk of skin irritation.
