The FPC is designed to be used more than one time, and remain effective. The number of uses per FPC depends upon the amount of time each FPC is used. If the FPC is worn all day, the chip can be used for up to two (2) days and should be discarded after the second day of use. If the FPC is worn for shorter periods (like during a workout, sports practice, or other strenuous activity), the FPCs can be used up to three (3) times effectively. In between uses, the FPCs can be effectively stored by leaving the underside of the chip (the adhesive part) exposed and away from contact with another surface - similar to the way one might set aside a DVD or CD. When athletic tape is used to keep the FPC in place on the body, simply tear off the portion of tape around the FPC and discard the remainder.

There are many different meridians on the human body that are ideal for FPC placement. Some of places are better for all-day use while others are more beneficial for short-term physical activity such as a football practice, tennis match, or workout. The best (and most convenient) placement for short-term use during intense physical activity is on each wrist (Pericardium 6), and secured with athletic tape.

You want to wear The S.W.A.T.S FPC whenever you are doing any type of physical activity - like yardwork, golfing, sports practice or game, workout, or training. For three to four days out of the week, wear the FPC all day long to help promote energy flow and all the recovery properties that are beneficial to athletes and the everyday consumer. Athletes want to wear the FPCs during all strenuous physical activity. The FPCs are most effective during intense workouts, practices, and games - the athlete will notice instant and significant gains in strength, stamina, endurance, and recovery on the field, in the gym, or on the court.
