Q. How frequently should I reorder electrodes?
A.
You should reorder your electrodes before you need them so you can
continue your regular treatment. Electrodes should be replaced after
10 to 14 days of use at 8 hours per day. This time may vary. Routine
visual inspection of electrode condition is recommended, and changing
electrodes in a timely manner ensures optimum performance.
Q. How do I get new supplies of electrodes and batteries?
A.
In the US, just call our Patient Services Center toll-free at 800
Mon - Fri , 7 a
. . .
Outside the US, please contact your BioniCare provider or your
healthcare practitioner.
Can the knee wrap and liners be washed and dried?
Q.
Yes. You can hand wash and air dry the knee wrap. Make sure to
A.
remove electrodes before washing. Use only mild soap, such as Ivory
or Woolite ; never use bleach, detergent or fabric softener. Air dry.
®
Never run any of the System's component through the washer or dryer.
Never place your Wire, BioniCare Generator, battery or battery charger
in water; these items can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or cotton
swab. Electrodes may be rehydrated with water by dabbing them with
a wet, lint-free cloth.
Q.
I can't feel the tingle during setup, what do I do?
A. It's OK and quite normal to not feel the tingle. If this occurs, set the
voltage to 8.4 volts. This will provide your BioniCare treatment while
maintaining battery life. Your voltage level to produce a tingle may also
vary daily. Ramp up the voltage until you feel it, and then back it down
a few tenths of a volt until you don't feel it. Run it at this level. You
should not feel a constant tingle when treating.
Q.
Once symptoms improve, can I stop using my Knee Device?
A.
Once you have been pain free for three months, we recommend a
maintenance regimen where BioniCare is used for 8 hours per week.
Q. How long will my symptoms remain improved?
A. Symptom improvement varies, so it's best to use the recommended
maintenance regimen of one 8 hour treatment per week.
