Reliefband Classic Wristband Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Reliefband Classic Wristband is an FDA-cleared, drug-free wearable solution designed for the effective relief of nausea and vomiting. It works by stimulating the median nerve on the underside of the wrist, sending signals to the brain that normalize nerve messaging to the stomach, thereby rapidly relieving symptoms without side effects.

This device is clinically proven to provide fast-acting relief for various conditions including motion sickness (car, air, train, sea), morning sickness, migraines, and post-operative nausea.

What's Included

• 1 x Reliefband Classic Wristband (with pre-installed batteries)
• 2 x Hypoallergenic Conductivity Gel Tubes (7.5ml / 0.25 fl. oz. each)
• 1 x Adjustable Nylon Strap

Setup and Application

Proper placement and application of the conductivity gel are crucial for the Reliefband Classic to function effectively.

1. Find the Area: On either wrist, locate the area between the two central tendons. This spot is approximately two finger-widths from the first crease of your wrist.
2. Apply the Gel: Clean the identified area on your wrist. Apply a small drop of the hypoallergenic conductivity gel and spread it in a circular motion, covering an area about the size of a large coin. This gel ensures optimal conductivity between the device and your skin.
3. Place and Fasten: Position the Reliefband Classic directly over the gelled area. Secure the adjustable nylon strap snugly around your wrist.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Reliefband Classic, consider the following:

• No Sensation or Weak Sensation:
  • Ensure sufficient conductivity gel is applied to the skin and spread evenly.

• Skin Irritation:
  • Ensure the conductivity gel is hypoallergenic.
  • Clean the skin thoroughly before application.
  • If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Note: Some users with metal allergies (e.g., nickel) have reported skin reactions; the specific metal content of conductors is not always listed.
• Device Not Powering On:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed.
  • Replace batteries if they are old or depleted.
