ELECTRODE PADS ADVICE
• The electrode pads supplied

use. The adhesive is a peelable
hydrogel (water based).

pads always ensure that they are in
good condition and tacky.

• Before use make sure your skin
is clean and dry.
• Peel the electrode pads from
their protective plastic shield by
holding and lifting one corner of the
pad and pulling. Do not pull on the
pigtail wire of the pad.
• After use always replace the
electrode pads on the plastic liner
and replace them in the re-sealable
plastic bag.
• If the electrode pads dry out,
then it is best to buy a replacement
pack. In an emergency, it may be
possible to restore some of the
tackiness of the pad by adding a
tiny drop of water on each pad and
spreading around. If too much
water is added, the electrode pad
will become too soft. If that happens
then it is suggested in order to try
and re-establish some adhesiveness,
to place them sticky side up in a
refrigerator for a few hours.
• In very hot weather the gel on
the electrode pads may become
soft. In such cases place them, still
on their plastic liners and in their
pouch into a fridge until they return
to their normal condition.
• The electrode pads provided
are latex-free.
• Replace the electrode pads
when they lose their stickiness.
