Preparation before treatment
The treatment starts with the preparation of the patient for the actual
treatment through medicine and psychological attention. After the treatment
immunology support is suggested.
The most optimal electrode has to be chosen for the treatment. For the
suggested electrodes see Appendix 3. For smaller solid tumors, a small
applicator is suggested. Note that a small electrode with the same output
power has proportionally larger electric field surface. Do not forget about the
disinfecting the electrode before every treatment. For disinfection see
instructions in the technical description part.
The electrodes have to be positioned on the tumor area with the best
overlapping.
The waterbed offers comfortable feeling only if its temperature suits the
patient’s sensitivity. For this reason the water is preheated. It needs a few hours
to warm up such an amount of water, so switch on the heating minimum 12
hours before starting the treatment, but it is better to keep the heating
continuously on. To comply with the room temperature better, the heating
levels can be set to adjust the comfort. The required temperature of the
surface of the waterbed is adjustable with the buttons placed on the display
from the Menu. Follow the instructions displayed in the appropriate menu
point. The actual setting is displayed continuously.
Between treatments - for a few hours – do not switch off the waterbed
heating. For a longer period – 10…30 hours – set a low temperature, but do not
switch it off. If the equipment is not in use for a longer time period – e.g. to
store – do switch off the heating.
Please check before every treatment:
• water in bed: by pushing the mattress, it must be filled correctly
• vapor/water wet surfaces: sides and bottom of the mattress must
be dry (some moisture is possible)
• water in the cooling system: as well as with the other bed, the
electrode’s cooling water tube must be filled with water.
After half a year of use the water should be changed in the bed. If water-loss is
observable, call the service.
