Putting On and Taking Off the FS Cuffs
Preparing the Skin
Before you put on the FS Cuffs, you must prepare the skin where the electrodes
will adhere.
To prepare the skin:
1. Clean the skin where the electrodes will touch with a wet washcloth. If any
lotions are on the skin, clean the skin with soap and water. Rinse well.
2. If necessary, trim excess body hair from the area using scissors. Do not
use a razor. A razor can irritate the skin.
3. Check the skin for signs of irritation. If any irritation is present, stop using
the NESS L300 Plus System. Contact your clinician, and wait for complete
healing before re-using the system.
Checking and Wetting the Electrodes
Before you put on the FS Cuffs, make sure the cloth electrodes are wet and
the covers have been removed from the hydrogel electrodes.
To prepare the electrodes:
1. Check the electrodes for signs of wear. Make certain the electrodes are
not worn out, damaged, or old.
2. Wet the cloth electrodes.
3. If using hydrogel electrodes with the L300 FS Cuff, make certain the
plastic covers have been removed.
