INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
General: KickStrip should be attached one
on each leg, just prior to "lights off", while already
lying in bed. The following instructions refer to a
single leg.
1. Remove KickStrip and green sticker from
plastic wrapper.
2. Using the alcohol prep (removed from its
individual wrapper), firmly wipe circular display
area (see arrow in figure 1).
3. Using both hands, gently peel green sticker from
its white protective paper and attach sticker firmly
onto the KickStrip display area, as shown in figure 2.
A red light will turn on underneath the white
sensor body, indicating that the sticker is properly
placed on the display area.
4. The sensor body should be placed on the lower
front of the leg, just above the joint. The green
sensor tail should extend to the top center of the
foot (see figure 3). Remove the three paper
adhesive covers and attach the device securely
in place. Stretch foot forward while attaching the tail.
5. To ensure proper placement, note that the tail
forms two small "waves" when the foot is relaxed
or contracts upwards(see figure 4). The red light should
blink with each foot movement, indicating good placement.
These blinks will stop after about 20 minutes.
6. Repeat sections 1-4 for other leg.
7. Have a good night!
8. Upon awakening, KickStrip should be removed
from legs, and the tails cut off with scissors (at any
point along the tail). Note that the red light turns
ON after the tail is cut off.
8. Return KickStrip to your physician for interpretation
of the results.
