ELECTROTHERAPY PATIENT PREPARATION
AND ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
• Examine the skin for any wounds and clean the skin.
• Apply the electrodes to the treatment area.
• Ensure the electrodes are applied securely to the skin.
• 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 that fit the anatomy.
• View the Electrode Placement recommendations in the
Treatment Review screen for the particular modality
being used for treatment as a reference point only prior to
administering treatment.
• Follow electrode manufacturer instructions.
• Please note the smaller the electrode size the higher the
current density.
DURA-STICK® Electrodes
DURA-STICK® Electrodes are a self adhesive, disposable product
designed specifically for use with Intelect® Transport 2. It is
recommended that DURA-STICK® Electrodes be used whenever
possible to ensure the highest level of contact with the treatment
area and most uniform delivery of the prescribed electrotherapy
treatment.
For Electrotherapy operation refer to page 28.
