Before using the unit, speak with the patient to make
sure that he is in a comfortable position during the entire
treatment, he is not in contact with the unit, the electrode
connection cable, the electrodes or other devices or metal
objects and he should (and can) let you know if he feels
unwell.
Before using the unit, determine the maximum
nominal output power of the respective accessory
in order to avoid overheating of tissue.
Refer to
Beginning the treatment.
At regular intervals during the treatment, check
that the unit is functioning properly, for moisture
development* (perspiration) in the area of the
electrodes and whether the patient feels well.**
After the treatment, ask the patient about his
tolerance of the treatment and visit the treatment
environment (Licensed Practitioner).
* The affected parts of the body should be unclothed
during treatment, since accumulation of moisture on the
skin or in folds can cause local overheating of the skin.
This is especially important in case of clothing made of
moisture-resistant fabric such as silk or synthetic fibers.
**The output power must always be set according to the
subjective response of the patient. Particular care is to be
taken with patients who have a reduced capacity for heat
perception.
