Care & Maintenance - Verity Medical NeuroTrac IFC Rehab Operation Manual

Practical tips
If you find the electrodes will not stick due to oily skin, cleanse the skin with
+
soap and water, then rinse and dry the area around the electrode site. If this
does not work, try cleansing the skin with a swab impregnated with alcohol.
Clip away hairy skin using scissors; don't use a razor to remove the hairs!
+
The electrodes conductive material is water� based. If it becomes saturated
+
(e.g. from perspiration), it will lose its adhesive qualities. After use leave the
electrodes face up overnight to dry out. At some point the electrodes will
become dry. Moisten the adhesive surface with a few drops of water, and
apply onto the plastic film overnight. This procedure will give you a few more
days of electrode life.
Replace electrodes onto plastic film after use. If they drop onto the floor
+
debris will adhere to conductive gel rendering the electrodes ineffective.
7. Care & Maintenance
The Unit
y Never expose the stimulator to water. Wipe it off with a damp cloth if
necessary.
y Do not use cleaning sprays or alcohol based cleaning solutions
Batteries
y Check periodically for any discharge from the battery
y Remove battery completely from unit if not in use for any extended period
of time (typically one week)
y The battery icon is shown on TENS/NMS side of the display at all times
during operation. As the battery discharges, the five bars on the battery
icon disappear. Once all bars have disappeared (voltage below 4.4 V), the
outline of the battery icon will start to flash. This means that the battery
must be replaced.
y Preferably use AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
