that the electrodes are present and correctly applied to the body (continuous yellow indicator light on)
and once this test is completed the treatment starts (flashing yellow light).
The correct operating condition is indicated by the flashing yellow led "
yellow light indicates the correct therapy mode.
Once the treatment session is over, the patient should simply switch off the generator moving the switch
in "O" position; all the indicator lights will be off.
3.3 Recommendations for the correct use of the electrodes
1. Use only electrodes of type and dimensions as those supplied with the appliances; the
manufacturer guarantees the efficient functioning of the device only if used with its original
electrodes and no others.
2. The electrodes should be placed directly on the skin, to the sides of the vertebral column, at a
distance of about 10 cm from each other. In the butterfly electrode the distance is already correct.
3. Before positioning the electrodes clean the skin using a normal detergent (soap and water or neutral
soap) and then dry.
4. Never apply the electrodes on damp skin; otherwise there is a risk that it will not adhere sufficiently.
5. Never apply the electrodes to damaged skin; in the event of any damaged skin in the area, move
the electrodes so as to avoid contact between the electrode and the damaged skin; in the event of
extensive skin damage seek medical advice.
6. Avoid pulling or stretching the cable which comes out the electrode, as there is a risk of irreparable
damage to the electrode itself.
7. Do not use the electrodes should they, or the cables which come out of them and to which the
generator is connected, show obvious signs of wear or damage; electrodes worn or lacking in good
adhesion to the skin may limit the effectiveness of the treatment.
8. The electrodes can be re-used for subsequent treatment sessions, generally a further 3-4 sessions:
the possibility of use however always depends on the actual application area and the typical skin
characteristics of each individual undergoing treatment, therefore the number of subsequent
sessions for which it can be re-used will vary from one person to the next.
