electrodes.
3. Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply the
electrodes firmly to the treatment site.
Removal
1. Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel;
do not pull on the lead wires because
it may damage the electrodes.
2. Place the electrodes on the liner and
remove the lead wire by twisting and
pulling at the same time.
Care and Storage

few drops of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface
up to air dry. Over saturation with water will reduce the adhesive
properties.

2. The electrodes should be discarded and re-ordered from your
physician when they are no longer adhering.
3. The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician.
