Treatment Preparation 

 

Treatment Site / Skin Inspection 

Thoroughly cleanse the treated area with soap and water to remove oils, creams, dirt, and sweat; this 

will ensure uniform current conduction across the skin. After cleansing, inspect and evaluate the 

skin’s  integrity  and  sensation  prior  to  treatment.  Avoid  absent  or  diminished  sensation;  if 

unavoidable, treat with caution. Establishment of acceptable intensity levels for desensitized areas 

may be related to the intensity levels tolerated on normal skin in opposite or related body parts. 

Frequently monitor the intensity level and skin response during all treatments. 
Stinging, burning or other painful sensation under the electrodes on normal or desensitized areas 

is an indication of increased current density under part or the entire electrode surface.  In this case, 

slowly but immediately reduce the current intensity to zero; remove the electrodes to inspect the 

surface skin. Recheck your application techniques. 
Immediately after treatment, clean and thoroughly inspect the skin under the electrode. Peripheral 

vasodilatation along with systemic vasomotor responses can lead to redness (hyperemia) directly 

under both electrodes.  Inform the patient of this normal after effect and that the redness will 

disappear within an hour or two. Apply topical agents to the reddened area under the electrodes if 

needed to decrease post-treatment irritation. Persistent skin irritation could be due to repeated 

stimulation of the same electrode site or a possible allergic reaction to the conductive mediums, 

tapes, elastic wraps, and/or cleaning and disinfectant solutions. Therefore, use additional electrode 

stimulation sites to decrease or eliminate skin irritation on electrically sensitive patients. If skin 

irritation persists with alternate site applications, decrease the treatment times and lower the 

intensities; if necessary, discontinue treatment.  If an allergic reaction is suspected, attempt to 

identify and change the allergic substance(s). If skin irritation persists, discontinue treatment until 

the source of irritation is determined. 
By far the most common error with reported faulty machines is inadequate or improper conductive 

medium interface or lead wire breakage. Because of the increased current density available with 

pulsed or continuous medium frequency currents, a proportionally greater degree of conductive 

medium interface problems exists and should be monitored by the clinician. 

 

ACP Reusable Pre-gelled Surface Electrodes 

 

Remove the electrodes from their foil packaging. Connect the electrodes to the device. Cleanse 

the skin, and then apply the electrodes over the treatment site points according to the electrode 

placements  techniques  described  in  this  manual.  Various  sizes  of  electrodes  are  available 

dependent upon muscle size of the area to be treated. Follow the enclosed infection control 

procedures.  Review the warnings and application directions on the electrode packaging. 

 

Lead Wires 

Inspect the full length of the lead wires for signs of frayed or cut wires and loose connections 

where the lead wires join the jack plug and tip pins. Insert the plug completely. Allow the lead 

wires to hang freely with no excessive strain on the connector. 

NOTE: 

The use of conductive mediums other than specifically approved pre-gelled or self 

adhering electrodes such as ultrasound gel or lotion, hand or body lotion, electrolyte spray 

mist,  paper  towels,  non-approved  reusable  or  disposable  pre-gelled  or  self-adhering 

electrodes—are contraindicated for use with Omnistim
