Precautionary Statements
Nuprep is an abrasive gel and should be used with care not to over-abrade the skin.
Nuprep gel is not recommended for use with current inducing electrodes such as defibrillator or neuro-stimulating equipment. NuPrep gel is to be used topically on intact skin only. This product is not to be used on or near skin sites that are injured, including open wounds, bruised skin, or skin that is weakened because of injury or the medical condition of the patient.
