After detaching the sensor, the Oxa shirt, band, and bra are easily washable, and the electrodes continue to measure your vitals accurately after many washes. Proper care will help you get the most out of your Oxa garment
To wash the garment:
- Remove the sensor before washing the garment.
- Place the garment in the wash bag (provided) before washing. (Do not wash the garment inside out – the electrodes should not be directly exposed so as to avoid wear and tear.)
- Use gentle detergent.
- Wash the garment in a standard washing machine at a temperature of up to 30 °C (90 °F or warm/cold).
- Lay the shirt and band flat, or hang the bra to air dry. Do not tumble dry the Oxa garments.
Recommendations
- A quick wash cycle of 30 minutes at 800 rpm or less.
- Wash the garment regularly to keep the electrodes clean and sticky.
- Use a lint roller or gentle water rinse between washes to remove any debris on the electrodes.
- Avoid damaging the black surface of the electrodes with your fingernails or accessories such as belts or rings. The garment should still function properly with minor scratches, however major damage to the electrodes can affect the ECG signal.
