How often should I replace the Xstim Spine Fusion Stimulator electrodes?

If removing the electrode temporarily for any reason, replace the plastic backing material to protect them. Before replacing them on the back, check to see that the surface is still clean and tacky. If not, apply a few drops of water to the skin-facing surface and gently rub into the gel to help rehydrate. If this does not improve the surface properties, use a new pack of electrodes as supplied. Typically, a new set of electrodes may be required after a few days of use (1-7 days). When supplies of electrodes are running low, contact Customer Service at (844) 228-2067 for additional supplies

How often should I change the Xstim Spine Fusion Stimulator battery?

Xstim Spine Fusion Stimulator provides 2 rechargeable batteries with your device. Xstim Spine Fusion Stimulator batteries are designed to deliver a minimum of 24 hours of battery life from a fully charged battery. When the battery reaches 5% remaining capacity, the battery meter will turn red on the Xstim Spine Fusion Stimulator controller and the audible (beeping) and vibration alerts will automatically activate, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a more fully charged battery immediately to avoid any chance of interruption to treatment. The best practice is to have one battery charging at all times while the other battery is connected to the controller and providing treatment. To avoid gaps in treatment, ensure that a fully charged battery is always available.
