
Before using the unit, speak with the patient to make sure that
–
he is in a comfortable position during the entire treatment,
–
he is not in contact with the unit, the electrode connection cable, the
electrodes or other devices or metal objects and
–
he should (and can) let you know if he feels unwell!

Before using the unit, determine the maximum nominal output power of
the respective applicators in order to avoid overheating of tissue!

( 7.8 Beginning the treatment)

At regular intervals during the treatment, check
–
that the unit is functioning properly,
–
for moisture development* (perspiration) in the area of the electrodes
and
–
whether the patient feels well**!

After the treatment, ask the patient about his tolerance of the treatment
and visit the treatment environment (doctor or physiotherapist).
* The affected parts of the body should be unclothed during treatment, since
accumulation of moisture on the skin or in folds can cause local overheat-
ing of the skin. This is especially important in case of clothing made of
moisture-resistant fabric such as silk or synthetic fibers!
** The output power must always be set according to the subjective response
of the patient! Particular care is to be taken with patients who have a re-
duced capacity for heat perception!
