CHAPTER 3
Customization and Testing!
This menu allows you to perform various tests. To
do this, press the Test ( ) button to the right on
the home screen on left.
Then press the desired operation (in the middle of
the screen). Depending on the operation, follow
the screen instructions or perform the various tests.
ACCESSORY TEST
Allows you to validate proper conductivity or any
accessory malfunction, such as the probeholders
A and B, the red and black wires. To perform this
test, follow the procedures listed on the screen.
When checking the probeholders, make sure that
they are properly connected to the device and that
you have removed the white plastic tip ensuring
contact in the appropriate test connection port.
TOLERANCE TEST
Allows you to measure in milliamps (mA) your
client’s tolerance to galvanic current when working
with combined currents in Blend mode.
To perform this tolerance test, the inactive electrode
(bar electrode or plate electrode) must be placed
in close proximity to the region being treated, while
in direct contact with the client’s skin. The inac-
tive electrode must first be covered with a damp
sponge-like cover and compress. The sponge-like
cover and compress should remain moist for the
duration of the test.
An insertion into a hair follicle must then be per-
formed. The current intensity gradually increases
as you press on the pedal. The pedal must be
released when your client tells you that they have
reached their tolerance level.
The current intensity indicated by the device cor-
responds to the tolerance level of your client. In
order to determine your client’s tolerance level as
accurately as possible, it is best to repeat the test
3 times.
The Apilus xCell will automatically readjusts the
intensity of the galvanic current to client’s tolerable
current level, and also for all combined current
modes in Blend.
HYDRATION TEST
Allows you to determine the degree of hydration of
your client’s skin for the area to be treated.
Before performing a hydration test, the inactive
electrode (bar electrode or plate electrode) must
be placed in direct contact with your client’s skin in
the region where you want to evaluate the degree of
hydration. It must be covered with a damp sponge-
like cover. It is recommended to wrap the sponge-
like cover with a wet compress. The sponge-like
cover and compress should remain moist for the
duration of the test.
To perform the hydration test, the active electrode
must be placed in direct contact with your client’s
skin in the area you wish to know the degree of
hydration. You can also perform an insertion if you
want to know the degree of hydration within the hair
follicle. It is important that the inactive electrode is
in good contact with your client’s skin in order to
get an accurate reading of the degree of hydration.
The Apilus xCell will graphically display the degree
of hydration on the screen. In addition, it also clas-
sifies the degree of hydration using three catego-
ries: dry skin, normal skin or hydrated skin.
