Care and Cleaning (cont.)
Electrodes
• Factory manufactured electrodes have been designed and authorized
specifically for use with this product and must not be manipulated or
altered in any way.
• Do not use alcohol to clean skin surface.
• Apply electrodes to dry, clean, unbroken skin surfaces only, checking
all edges for proper adhesion. Prior to electrode application, the skin
should be washed with soap and water and completely dried.
• Do not apply skin lotion prior to application of electrodes.
• Electrodes should always be placed at least one inch apart.
• Do not trim electrodes, as cut edges may affect the even distribution
of stimulation.
• Remove electrodes before showering.
• Place clear plastic backing onto knee and thigh electrode for
protection when not in use.
• If you experience symptoms of skin irritation while using the BioniCare
Knee System, discontinue use immediately and in the US, contact
VQ OrthoCare's Patient Care department at 800.444.1456, or consult
your healthcare practitioner. Outside the US, please contact your
BioniCare provider or your healthcare practitioner.
CAUTION
Electrodes should be discarded and replaced if damaged or when proper
adhesive tack can no longer be obtained, the gel has separated, or you sense
a change in stimulation intensity. If in doubt about the integrity or proper
function of any electrode, replace it before proceeding with treatment. If
using pain medication and/or other pain management devices, exercise
caution when increasing amplitude on the BioniCare device.
