Do NOT place electrodes on top of the head.
Do NOT place electrodes over open wounds, broken skin, rashy skin or sensitive areas.
NOTE: Electrodes MAY BE PLACED directly over or in the proximity of implanted metal hardware including total joint replacements, rods, plates, screws, anchors and pins. See User’s Manual for more information.
ELECTRODES (PADS) MUST NEVER TOUCH EACH OTHER DURING THE TREATMENT
- 1.0 inch (2.6 cm) is the minimum spacing between Pads.
- There is NO maximum spacing between any Pads.
- If the edges of the Pads touch during the treatment, it may cause a burn.
- Pads typically can be reused about 8-10 times.
Warning: Electrodes must never touch each other
Minimum Spacing Between Electrodes = 1 inch
No Maximum Spacing Between Electrodes
Do NOT use electrodes if:
• The metal portion of the wire is exposed; or
• The gel has peeled apart from the black carbon surface
BioWaveGO Pro Tips
Body position during treatment
Position of the body during treatment is important. Generally, the tissue being treated should be a little taut or in a stretch position. Generally, sitting in a supported position in a chair, couch, or bed is best for most treatment locations on the body. See User’s Manual for more detailed information on optimal Body Position for different treatment locations.
Motion during treatment
The sensation from the treatment is a deep smooth tingling and pressure sensation as the muscle is held in tension in the volume of tissue being treated. Motion may cause a stonger or weaker sensation and will cause the location of the internal electrical field to shift slightly. Shifting of the electrical field is most prevalent when treating the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, and feet.
The goal is to gently move the joint at the location to shift the sensation caused by the electrical field so that it focuses directly onto and encompasses the primary location of pain. This is a fine tuning of the treatment that will provide the best treatment results.
Electrode Placement Rationale
BioWaveGO electrode placements are different from conventional electrical stimulation. The mixing of the patented therapeutic signals occurs in a 3.5-inch hemishpere, not along the surface of the skin between the electrodes. As a result, electrodes need to be placed directly over locations of pain, or one electrode over a single location of pain and a second over a comfortable location to recieve stimulation – typically over a bony prominence near the treatment site.
