Tips
• If using an internal electrode, after use always wash it in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly and carefully store it for your next
treatment session.
• Never let anyone else use your electrode.
• Follow all instructions provided with the electrode.
• If using self adhesive electrodes always cleanse the skin with soap
and water, then rinse and dry well in order to ensure good adhesion
of the electrodes.
• Clip away hairy skin using scissors, do not shave the area
• After using surface electrodes, place them back on the plastic film
they were packaged in and store them in a cool place i.e. the fridge.
• After repeated use, the sticky surface on the electrode will eventually
become dry. This surface is water based so by adding a few drops
of water will give you a few extra days of electrode life back!
• If you find the electrodes will not stick due to oily skin, cleanse the
skin with soap and water, then rinse and dry the area around the
electrode site. If this does not work, try cleansing the skin with a swab
impregnated with alcohol.
• The electrodes conductive material is water- based. If it becomes
saturated (e.g. from perspiration), it will lose its adhesive qualities. After
use leave the electrodes face up overnight to dry out (replace on plastic
film in the morning). At some point the electrodes will become dry.
Moisten the adhesive surface with a few drops of water, and apply onto
the plastic film overnight. This procedure will increase the electrode life
by few more days.
