BioniCare Generator
The case of the BioniCare Generator may be cleaned with a cloth and cotton
swab. The BioniCare Generator should be turned "OFF" and not connected
to the Wire when cleaning. Do not use liquids for cleaning; the BioniCare
Generator is not waterproof. The BioniCare Generator case must not be
opened by removing the screws, because there are no operator serviceable
components inside. Always store the BioniCare Generator in a clean, dry
area between 0° and 140°F.

original battery supplied or an exact replacement battery.

conductive strands are exposed.

Brace Knee Wrap/Thigh Liner and Night-Wrap
To clean the above soft goods, the electrodes should first be removed and
the brace liner/wrap should be removed from the brace. They should be
hand washed in cold water with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air-
dry (do not machine dry). Never machine wash the soft goods. Never use
bleach, fabric softener, or harsh detergents. The other brace liners and straps
should be washed in the same manner.
