Applying Electrodes

The iSTIM EV-805 comes with a set of reusable electrode pads. These pads are designed to conduct electrical impulses from the device to your skin, stimulating the targeted muscles and nerves. Proper application of the electrodes is crucial for effective treatment and a comfortable experience.

Before applying the electrodes, clean the skin area with soap and water and ensure it is dry. This helps to improve the conductivity of the electrodes. Once the skin is clean and dry, remove the protective film from the adhesive side of the electrode pads and gently place them on the target area. Ensure that the electrodes are placed in accordance with the instructions provided in the user manual, as specific placement recommendations may vary depending on the targeted condition.

Once the electrodes are in place, press them firmly against the skin to ensure good contact. Avoid applying the electrodes on broken or irritated skin. It is also advisable to rotate the electrode placement for each treatment session to prevent skin irritation or discomfort. After each use, carefully remove the electrodes and store them in a cool, dry place. The electrode pads are reusable and can be used for multiple sessions, but it is recommended to replace them periodically for optimal performance.
