Electrode Maintenance
With proper care, the electrodes should last for about 20 therapy sessions before they should be replaced. The electrodes are reusable as long as they are clean, retain their sticky or tacky texture, and are without any visible sign of damage. To maximize their life, follow these tips:
- Cover Electrodes – To prolong the life of the electrodes, replace the Electrode Covers after EVERY use.
- Hydrate Electrodes – Applying a small amount of electrode gel every time will help effectively deliver the activation current to your muscles as well as maintain the tacky feel of the electrodes.
- Clean Electrodes – The tacky surface of the electrodes may pick up small amounts of debris after use. To clean the electrode surface, place a small drop of water or electrode gel with the Controller OFF onto the surface of the electrode and gently rub with your fingers to remove the debris.
