Maintaining your Neural Sleeve in optimal condition is essential for both comfort and effectiveness of your therapy sessions. Regular cleaning, especially when changing electrode pads, helps prevent skin irritation and ensures consistent signal quality. This guide provides a simple, step-by-step approach to cleaning your Neural Sleeve that preserves its functionality while maintaining proper hygiene. By following these instructions, you'll extend the life of your device and enhance your overall experience with the Neural Sleeve system.
How to Clean Your Neural Sleeve While Changing Electrode Pads
Materials Needed:
- Cleaning spray (50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water, or antibacterial fabric spray if skin-safe)
- Clean cloth
- Clean surface (e.g., a table or countertop)
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Workspace:
- Lay the Neural Sleeve flat on a clean surface with the electrode panels facing up.
- Remove Storage Covers:
- Carefully remove the storage covers only from the panels where you are replacing the electrode pads.
- Remove Old Electrode Pads:
- Take off the electrode pads that need to be replaced.
- Apply Cleaning Solution:
- Lightly spray the cleaning solution (50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water) onto the fabric areas and the exposed electrode panels. Avoid spraying the storage covers on the panels that are not being replaced.
- Alternatively, you can use an antibacterial fabric spray if it’s safe for your skin.
- Wipe Down the Panels:
- Spray the clean cloth with the cleaning solution.
- Gently wipe the electrode panels and fabric areas to remove any residual gel and ensure cleanliness.
- Allow to Dry:
- Let the cleaned panels and fabric dry completely before applying new electrode pads.
- Apply New Electrode Pads:
- Once dry, attach the new electrode pads to the metal discs.
- Replace Storage Covers:
- Cover the new electrode pads with their storage covers.
- Store or Reuse:
- Either store the Neural Sleeve for future use or put it back on.
By following these steps, you'll keep your Neural Sleeve clean and ready for optimal performance.
