Applying the
electrodes
Only use the original
MEDISANA electrodes
that are enclosed to the
device.
Use separate electrodes
for each user. They can
be reordered as electrode
set in differenz sizes at
MEDISANA.
Before placing the electrodes, remove residual skin cream or ointment. The skin
has to be free of fat.
Do not place the electrodes on injured or inflamed skin (wounds, pimples, skin
rashs, reddenings etc.). Always place the electrodes according to the doctor's
instructions or the TENS therapy booklet, before you switch on the device.
• In most cases, the electrodes are placed near the area of pain or directly on
the aching spot.
• For the pain and acupuncture program of the MEDISANA TDD device, you
don't have to pay attention to the polarity of the electrodes.
• For the muscle stimulating program, observe your doctor's instructions
concerning the polarity or the explanation in the enclosed TENS therapy
booklet.
• If you are not sure how to place the electrodes, exchange the connectors red
and white at the electrodes after half of the therapy time.
• If you don't find your case in the TENS therapy booklet, feel for the area of
pain, place one electrode directly on it and the second one to the periphery
of the area of pain or, on arms and legs directly opposite. In the head area,
place the electrodes only on the regions specified by the doctor or the enclosed
TENS therapy booklet and perform therapy with very low current intensity.
• After application, stick the electrodes back to the carrier paper. This way, you
prolong the electrodes life. Electrodes that do not stick anymore can be cleaned
under cold running water. After cleaning, leave the electrodes for 24 hours
on the carrier paper so that the adhesive strength is restored.
CAUTION
Make sure that the electrodes cannot fall off during
therapy. This can cause an unintentional electric shock.
Switch off the device immediately, if an electrode comes
off the skin during treatment.
