Setup Instructions
- Prepare Skin: Ensure the skin where the pads will be applied is clean, dry, and free of lotions, oils, or hair. This helps maximize adhesion and conductivity.
- Attach Pads to Wires: Connect the electrode pads to the lead wires of your TENS, EMS, or muscle stimulator device. Ensure a secure connection.
- Apply Pads: Carefully peel the protective film from the gel side of the pads. Apply the pads firmly to the desired treatment area on your body. Ensure full contact with the skin.
- Connect to Device: Plug the lead wires into the appropriate ports on your DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System or compatible device.
Operating Instructions
These gel pads are accessories for electrotherapy devices. For detailed operating instructions, always refer to the user manual of your specific TENS, EMS, or muscle stimulator device. General guidance for use with DR-HO’S systems and compatible devices includes:
- Power On: Turn on your electrotherapy device.
- Select Mode: Choose the desired therapy mode (e.g., massage, deep tissue, kneading) as per your device's instructions.
- Adjust Intensity: Gradually increase the intensity to a comfortable level. Do not set the intensity too high, as this may cause discomfort.
- Set Duration: Select the recommended treatment duration for your session.
- Pad Placement: For optimal results, place the pads on or around the area requiring therapy. Large Flex Tone pads are suitable for broad areas like the back or thighs, while small pads are ideal for more targeted areas.
- Power Off: After your session, turn off the device before removing the pads.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care extends the lifespan of your DR-HO’S Gel Pads, which are designed for 70–100 applications.
- Cleaning: If the pads lose their stickiness, gently clean the gel surface with a small amount of water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely, gel side up. Do not rub or use abrasive materials.
- Storage: After each use, reapply the protective film to the gel side of the pads. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid pulling on the wires when removing pads from your skin or device. Always peel the pads off gently from the edge.
- Replacement: Replace pads when they no longer adhere well to the skin or if they show signs of wear and tear, as this can affect conductivity and therapy effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
- Pads not sticking: Ensure skin is clean and dry. Clean pads as per maintenance instructions. If pads are old or heavily used, they may need replacement.
- Weak or no sensation: Check that lead wires are securely connected to both the pads and the device. Ensure the device is powered on and the intensity is set to a comfortable level. Replace pads if they are worn or damaged.
- Uneven sensation: Ensure pads are applied flat against the skin with no air bubbles. Check for any damage to the pads or wires.
- Skin irritation: Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Ensure pads are clean and applied to clean skin. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
