Electrodes
The electrodes are designed to operate
consistently for up to 2 weeks. With repeated use,
the electrode gel may peel and/or dry out thereby
losing some of its adhesion, but the electrode is
still usable.
Electrode Removal
You should be careful to not damage the electrode
when you remove it from your upper calf area.
Slowly peel the electrode from your skin, while
making sure that each of the gel pads does not
separate from the electrode. Avoid touching the
gel with your fingers as that can damage the
gel and decrease the life of the electrode. After
removal of the electrode, you should cover it with
the liner.
If you have difficulty removing the electrode, refer
to Chapter 8 for tips on skin care to ease electrode
removal.
Electrode Storage
Electrodes should always be stored with the
liner covering the gel pads. Place the liner with
graphic side up so the paper does not stick to the
gel. Electrodes should be stored in a sealed bag
at room temperature out of direct sunlight. You
may also snap the electrode into the device for
convenient storage.
Electrode Replacement
The electrode should be replaced prior to two
weeks if stimulation becomes painful despite
positioning the device so that the entire electrode
is making smooth contact with the skin. You can
order electrodes at www.quellrelief.com/replace
or from the location where you purchased your
device.

Helpful Tips
• The entire electrode should contact the
skin.
• To get the most use of your electrode,
put the liner back on the gel pads when
electrode is not on skin.
• Air-out skin or switch legs during the
day or after overnight use. After 4
hours of wear, device will pulse on and
off for 1 minute as a reminder.
• Change the electrode every 2 weeks.
