Are the electrode pads reusable?

Yes, these electrode pads are reusable. They can be used multiple times before needing replacement.

How do I store the electrode pads?

Can I use these pads with any TENS unit?

What should I do if the pads irritate my skin?

If you experience skin irritation, remove the pads and discontinue use. Clean the area with mild soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

How do I clean the pads?

How often should I replace the pads?

Replace the pads when they lose their adhesion, no longer adhere effectively to your skin, or if you notice any physical damage.

Troubleshooting

The TENS unit is not working.

Check the connection between the electrode pads and the TENS unit leads. Ensure the TENS unit has sufficient battery power. Verify the pads are correctly placed on the skin, following placement guidelines for your treatment.

The pads are not sticking to the skin.

Clean the skin thoroughly to remove any oils or lotions before applying the pads. Make sure the pads are not dried out. If the pads are old, it may be time to replace them.

I am not feeling any stimulation.

Increase the intensity level on your TENS unit. Make sure the pads are making good contact with the skin and are not too dry or worn out.

I am experiencing skin irritation.

Check the skin for redness or irritation. Remove the pads and discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure that you are not allergic to any of the pad materials. Consult a healthcare professional if the irritation is severe or does not improve.
