10 Device Setup 10.1 Face, Forehead, Neck and Universal Electrode While the textile electrode (face, forehead, neck or universal electrode) constitutes an electrical contact surface with the device, your hands or feet (treatment tray) are required to serve as second contact surface in order to facilitate the flow of electricity through the body.

Tip: Use warm tap water. It is much more pleasing to the skin. Counter electrode 4.1. In case you intend to use either both your hands or only one hand as counter electrode, place the treatment tray on a table in front of your body.

Tips: Use your feet as counter electrode. This frees both hands to change the current strength, correct the position of the textile electrode or initially press it down against individual areas. Use a mirror to check and optimize the fit of the textile electrode or ask a second person for assistance.

Use warm tap water. It is much more pleasing to the skin. Skin contact with the electrodes should be as even as possible in order to facilitate extensive homogenous current feed-in. The wet, heavy electrodes best attach to the skin when in a vertical position. You best lie down for a treatment session so that the electrodes are positioned on top.
11 Conducting the Treatment Basically, treatment with a textile electrode resembles that of hands, feet and armpits. Since the treated body sites or skin, respectively, might react with a more sensitive current perception and might be prone to dehydration, special precautions and recommendations should be observed, particularly at the outset of treatment.

Should you experience any skin changes, wait until they have completely abated until you re-initiate the treatment with a lower current strength. Treatment Current [mA] Current sensitivity greatly differs from person to person and usually also changes in the course of the treatment (habituation effect). We categorically recommend the use of current strengths above 10 mA for direct current or 15 mA for pulsed current only after you have gained some previous experience (at least 10 sessions).
11.2 Treatment ® (see instructions for the Saalio sets) Important note: When initiating a therapy session, the first thing to do is always power up the control device. Only then you put on the textile electrode or place your hands or feet in the basin. Once the treatment is finished, you first remove the textile electrode or take your hands/feet out of the basin and as a last step you turn the control device off.
Make sure you avoid vigorous wringing of the textile electrode, as this could harm it. Put the (still) wet textile electrode in a warm, dry location to ensure it can dry quickly. During the drying phase, the textile electrode shrinks and becomes stiff.
17 Warranty ® The Saalio textile electrodes, just as sponge pockets and foam inserts, are wear parts and thus excluded from any warranty claims. Should you, however, detect any material or manufacturing defects prior to your first use, please get in touch with us, using the contact information specified in the user manual.
