3.2 Electrotherapy
Electrode positioning and the selection of treatment parameters should always be coordinated
to the treatment specifications.
For currents for which there is a risk of chemical burns (for example, galvanic current,
diadynamic currents, currents with a galvanic component), the recommended maximum
current density is 2 mA eff/cm² electrode surface.
If the current density exceeds 2 mA eff/cm², increased attention on the part of the user is
necessary.
When using different electrodes, be aware that in the case of a smaller electrode surface, a
higher current density may be reached.
Stimulation current treatment should not be performed on the head or directly on the eye.
In combined operation, the ultrasound head can be used as a dynamic electrode in connection
with a stationary electrode which is connected via the electrode cable. In such a case, the
ultrasound and electrode channel constitute an applied part. Please be advised that in this
operation, therapeutic currents flow through the ultrasound transducer.
