When not using the Parastep, store all components in a safe place to prevent damage.

Electrodes

• Electrodes, under normal use, are expected to provide 10 to 15 applications. The user should note the date when beginning to use each package of electrodes on the electrode package. The personeal electrodes may have a shorter expected life than the shin, quadriceps, or hip electrodes because of their positioning.
• Follow use and storage instructions on the electrode package to extend the life and improve the performance of electrodes.

Electrode Leads and Power Cable

• Record the date of first use of electrode leads on the label located in the center junction of each lead.
• Visually inspect leads, cables, locking mechanisms, and connecting plugs before each session of use.
• Always plug electrode leads into electrodes carefully, while grasping both the electrode socket and the lead pin. Make sure the connection is snug, but do not use excessive force.
• If an electrode lead or the power cable is suspected to be a source of system failure, check its output with the Paratester. If it tests defective, immediately discard it and replace it with a new lead or cable.
• If an electrode lead or power cable plug connector begins to lose its ability to lock securely into the jack in the stimulator/control unit or the battery pack, or if the lock release pin breaks, immediately discontinue using it and replace it with a new lead or cable. This situation should not occur as long as you protect the lead and cable connectors with the protective covers when you are not using the system.

Walker

• Monthly examine all joints of walker, tighten as necessary, and lubricate with 3-in-one household oil.
• Check rubber boots and wheels of walker for wear. Replace as necessary.
