Suggested Electrode Placement Chart
The sticky electrode pads need to be
placed in the correct position for
maximum pain relief. It is preferable to
obtain assistance from either your
birthing partner or medical adviser when
positioning the pads. Please read the
following instructions carefully:
1. Carefully peel the pads from the
plastic backing using your forefinger and
thumb. Do not pull on the lead wires.
2. Position the top two pads (connected
to the left socket CH1) approximately 4cm
either side of the spine and 4-5cm above
the imaginary navel line as seen in the
diagram.
3. Position
the
bottom
two
pads
(connected to the right socket CH2)
approximately 4cm either side of the
spine and 4-5cm below the imaginary
navel line as seen in the diagram.
