CAUTION:
The electrodes are intended for single patient use only .
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.
Always use the electrodes with CE mark, or are legally marketed in the US under
510(K) procedure.
9.1.4 Cleaning the lead wires and cables
Periodically wipe the lead wires clean with a cloth dampened in a mild soap solution, and
then gently wipe them dry . Use of rubbing alcohol on the lead wires will damage the insula-
tion and dramatically shorten their life.
9.1.5 Ultrasound applicator
To prevent corrosion,clean and dry the contact surface immediately after use.Make sure that
no ultrasound gel remains on the applicator.We further recommend cleaning the applicator
and cable daily,using lukewarm water.The applicator can be disinfected using a cloth moist-
ened with a 70% alcohol solution.Check the applicator and cable regularly for damage.
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 elec-
trode in stock.
Calcium scale can be deposited on the metal surfaces of the electrodes. This has an insulat-
ing 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 house-
hold 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.
