NOTE
please follow the Garment and Garment Electrode instructions.
1. Peel off the electrodes from the plastic film and apply them on the appropriate body area. Follow your Clinician's
recommendation and Section 6.4 for proper electrode placement. Always ensure the electrodes are fully in contact with
the skin. If the adhesion of the electrodes is not good, use new electrodes.
At the end of the treatment, first disconnect the lead wires from the electrodes. Next, peel off the electrodes from the skin

and place them back on the plastic film. Put them back into the plastic bag and reseal it.

electrodes if their bonding power becomes poor. Contact Empi to order additional electrodes.
To maximize service life for electrodes:
• Clean the skin application sites with mild soap water before attaching the electrodes. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse
with water and dry the skin carefully.
• Dry electrodes with poor adhesion can be reconditioned. See electrode packaging for complete instructions.
• If you encounter contact with the skin or repeated open lead detection, replace the electrodes.
• Remove electrodes by pulling on their edges. Do not pull on the lead wire.
• After use, reattach the electrodes to their protective plastic film. Store the electrodes in their bags.
• Store the electrodes in a cool place.
• We recommend clipping excess hair from sites where electrodes will be applied. Trim the hair with scissors; do not
shave.
• Do not leave the electrodes attached to your skin for a prolonged period of time. Remove the electrodes after each
use. To avoid skin irritations, apply the electrodes to different areas and clean the skin thoroughly after treatment. If
you observe skin irritations, consult your Clinician and discontinue therapy until the irritation subsides.

7.3.4 Connection of the lead wires to the electrodes

shown in Section 6.4 and the indications given in Section 2.1.
