9.1.6 Vacuum electrodes and sponges
The vacuum electrodes and sponges should be cleaned with lukewarm water. In the case of persistent
dirt, and for disinfection, a 70% alcohol solution may be used.
Sponges should be replaced regularly. It is recommended to keep sponges and a spare electrode in
stock.
Calcium scale can be deposited on the metal surfaces of the electrodes. This has an insulating effect. In
order to maintain optimum conductivity, these surfaces should be regularly cleaned and polished.
9.1.7 Vacuum cables
Clean the vacuum cable with a damp cloth. Use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive household cleaning
agent. Do not use an alcohol solution. Check the cable regularly for damages and/or bad electrical
contact. We advise, keeping a spare vacuum cable in stock.
9.1.8 Cleaning the water reservoir and hoses:
• Detach the vacuum cups from the vacuum cables.
• Place a container filled with a cleaning liquid
(1)
below the system.
• Place the peripheral ends of the cables in the container.
• Go to System Settings and select Tank Cleaning.
• The water reservoir will be filled with the cleaning liquid until the water reservoir is full.
• Empty the water reservoir as described in 9.2.4.
(1)
The following registered products may be used for disinfecting the water reservoir:
BAKTOLAN to 5%, CHINOSOL to 1%, CHLORAMIN solution, ELMOCID Gamma to 2%, MEFAROL to
1%, MERCKOJOD to 1%, MERFEN, PERHYDROL, PERODIN, SAGROTAN to 2%, ZEPHIROL to
5%.
9.2 Warning Messages, Error Messages and Troubleshooting
9.2.1 Error code
When the apparatus is turned on, it will first execute a self test. When an error is detected, both during the
self test and during normal operation, a pop-up screen will appear on the display. When the error is
displayed, all outputs will be disabled. When this situation occurs, remove all cables and switch the
apparatus off and switch it on again. When the error re-appears, stop using the device and contact your
supplier.
9.2.2 Patient Circuit Interrupted
There is insufficient or no output current available at the outputs. Possible causes:
• Poor electrical contact or broken patient cable.
• Insufficiently moistened sponges. If necessary, use a saline solution to improve the electrical
conductivity of the water.
• Too high current amplitude with self adhesive electrodes. Try to continue the treatment with
flexible rubber electrodes.
If the problem occurs in CC mode, the current amplitude will ramp down to 0 and will have to be
readjusted when the problem has been solved.
If none of the above scenarios appear to be the problem, stop using the device and contact your supplier.
9.2.3 Battery Low
The battery is insufficiently charged to complete the treatment at the currently set therapy levels. Reduce
the therapy levels or connect the apparatus to the mains supply.
