Using ActiPatch Therapy

The ActiPatch Therapy is a compact, lightweight, portable, and battery operated pulsed electromagnetic therapy device. This device can be easily put on and removed for treatment or can be affixed to traditional bandages.

1. To turn on ActiPatch, grasp the patch firmly as
shown and pull out the white tab protruding from the patch. The red indicator light confirms
that the device is operating properly. This device is designed to deliver 720 hours of effective therapy. To avoid sleep disruption, the brightness of the red indicator light is minimized and is only visible in a dark location.

2. Place ActiPatch directly over the injured tissue as instructed by your health care professional. Place the Actipatch so that the area for treatment is located below and inside of the antenna perimeter as shown by blue dots and raised area. The patch should be placed so that the flatter side is toward the skin.

3. Using Medical Grade Tapes
• Place ActiPatch directly over the injured tissue as instructed by your health care professional.
• Tape ActiPatch in place to hold in the proper position. You may use cloth, paper, transparent or wound closure tape as instructed by your physician or health care professional.
Using Elastic Bandages or Cohesive Wraps

• Place ActiPatch in exact location instructed by your health care professional.
• Wrap ActiPatch in place to hold in the proper position. You may use elastic bandage or cohesive wrap around that area, being careful not to over-tighten.

Caution:

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the Elastic Bandage or Cohesive Wrap as this may cause por circulation.
