4.3 Placing and connecting the accessories
warning:
 Be sure that before you start treatments you completely understand
everything explained in § 1.1.1
Make always use of an echography-imaging device to identify the injury and to define the
precise location of the pathologic area. Disinfect the skin surface at the pathologic area.
Once the treatment location is defined you need to place the surface electrode & sponge as
close as possible to the pathologic zone.
Connect the easy fix rubber electrode and sponge to the 1-pole patient cable which functions
as the positive electrode in the electrical circuit. See § 4.3.1 for preparations.
Verify that the accessories are correctly connected to the device.
warning:
 Do not use adhesive electrodes because the applied current has a galvanic
component that might cause skin etching and burns under the electrode area.
warning:
 Check the patient’s reaction. Repeat this check regularly during the treatment.
 When with the guidance of the echography-imaging device, during the treatment is
verified that the electrolysis effect covers the whole intended pathological area
becoming hyperechogenic, the treatment must be stopped
 Remove the needle safely and take care of proper disposal
 Place the hand piece immediately in the hand piece holder after use
 Remove the rubber electrode & sponge from the patient
 For maintenance and cleaning see § 5
4.3.1 Prepare the easy fix rubber electrode & sponge
warning:
 Prior to initial use thoroughly rinse the sponge pads in warm tap water to remove the
impregnating agent.
 Moisten the sponges thoroughly with water. In case of poor conduction, use water with
a saline solution to improve the conductivity of the sponges.
Procedure
1. Fixate the wet sponge on the black side of the rubber electrode
2. Braid the fixation strap on the rubber electrode to get an easy fix combination
3. Fasten the easy fix combination with the wet sponge directly on the patients’ skin.
4. It is advised to place it as close as possible to the treatment location to shorten the
interpolar distance.
