Cleansing of the skin
It is important that you give the proper care to your skin. Cleansing
your skin properly will ensure good contact with the electrodes and will
help you to prevent irritation to the skin. Carefully clean your skin with
a mild soap. It is advised that you remove all body hair on the location
where the electrodes are to be placed, as they may cause irritation. To
ensure that the electrodes stick to your skin properly, please make sure
that your skin is not oily or greasy. Furthermore, with proper cleansing
the electrodes and patches will be easier to remove.
Placing the electrodes
Follow the instructions on the packaging of the electrodes or on their
instructions for use. Place and connect only one pair of electrodes at
the time, to avoid confusion.
Keep to the instructions of your treating specialist when
placing the electrodes.
Setting up the stimulator
After the electrodes are placed properly, you can activate the device.
The device starts up with the pre-set you used last. During the trial
period, you and your treating specialist have decided which pre-set(s)
is best suited for you. Chapter 9 gives an overview of all the standard
pre-sets.
Select pre-set
Every time you press the pre-set button the next pre-set will appear
(it is an ongoing list; you will reach your starting position eventually).
When holding the pre-set button for 2 seconds, it will switch back to
the last used pre-set.
Set timer
Check if the timer is set properly for the duration of the therapy. By
tapping on the Timer button the time increases. By holding the Timer
button for 2 seconds, the timer will be disabled.
Once the pre-set is started, this timer value will be saved and used
automatically when you select that pre-set again.
