Cleaning the L300 Plus Components
All L300 Plus components may be cleaned by carefully wiping them with a
damp cloth. The electrical components are not waterproof. Do not immerse
them in water.
The L300 FS Cuff is the only component that can be immersed in water to
clean.
To clean the L300 FS Cuff:
1.
Remove the L300 RF Stim Unit and, if appropriate, the large cloth electrode.
2.
If using the L300 hydrogel or cloth electrodes, gently remove the electrodes
from the electrode bases. Do not remove the electrode bases. For hydrogel
electrodes, replace the electrode covers.
3. Immerse the L300 FS Cuff for 30 minutes in lukewarm water and mild
detergent. Do not use a washing machine.
4. Rinse the L300 FS Cuff thoroughly under running water.
5.
Immerse the L300 FS Cuff for an additional 15 minutes in clean, lukewarm
water.
6. Rinse the L300 FS Cuff again under running water.
7. Gently blot excess moisture from the L300 FS Cuff with a towel. Do not
wring the L300 FS Cuff. Lay the L300 FS Cuff flat in the shade to dry.
(Do not hang dry.) Drying time will vary from 4 to 12 hours depending on
temperature and humidity. For faster drying, place the L300 FS Cuff in
front of a circulating cold-air fan. Do not use a hot-air dryer or other heat
source to dry.
8. When the L300 FS Cuff is completely dry, insert the L300 RF Stim Unit
and attach the electrode(s).
