Number of uses:	The number of uses depends on what type of skin you have and how dirty or oily your skin is. It is recommended you clean your skin with soap and clip away any hairs you have on the electrode site. With care you should be able to achieve a high number of uses, maybe up to 30 to 40 uses depending on your skin type.

Electrode Life:	You can increase the life of the electrodes by putting them back on to the plastic film and returning them to their plastic bag. You can put them in the fridge to increase the life. If the electrode dries up, wet it with a few small drops of water to increase its life.

Hypoallergenic:	Yes, our electrodes are hypoallergenic which will reduce the chance of skin irritation and allergic reactions. If you have an allergic reaction or your skin starts to itch when using our electrodes please cease use immediately.

Skin Irritation:	If skin irritation occurs, try reducing the amount of stimulation and moving the electrodes slightly. Ensure that your skin is not broken and it may cause a reaction with the gel.

Number of Patients:	Skin electrodes are for single patient use only! There is a risk of spreading skin infections if skin electrodes are shared between patients.
