8.3 Cleaning, disinfection and care
8.3.1 Cleaning the Device
For cleaning and disinfection of the current stimulation device and its accessories do not use any agents
containing higher portions of phenol derivatives, alcohol, compounds of chlorine or peracetic acid. It is
recommended to use disinfectants on aldehyde basis. Never use an abrasive. Fingerprints on the display
should be cleaned with a dry cloth or some isopropanol.
Warning!
Unplug the mains plug out of the socket prior to cleaning and disinfection.
Do not clean the device under running water and do not use liquid abrasive cleaner!
The device is not suited for heat sterilization or for the sterilization with gases.
The

is suited for wiping disinfection. Make sure that no liquids soak into the device. Under no
circumstances the plug or socket must get wet. Do not sprinkle the device for cleaning or disinfection. The
device is not suited for hot sterilisation or sterilisation with gases.
8.3.2 Cleaning the Elastic Straps
The elastic straps can be washed in a washing machine. Please observe the washing instructions of the
instruction label.
8.3.3 Cleaning the Electrodes
You can clean the rubber electrodes after a treatment with some warm water (appr. 40°C) and a soap suds on
the conductive (black) side. Dry the electrodes with a cleaning cloth or let them air-dry. The cleaning process
removes the film left by the Aloe spray or the contact spray and the electrodes will regain a good
conductivity.
!!
Note!
The conductivity of the electrodes is optimized by the use of a certain amount of graphite.
Consequently, when using and cleaning the electrodes, black color may come off.
8.3.4 Disinfecting the Electrodes
The rubber electrodes can be disinfected by spray/wipe disinfection. Spray onto the black side of the
electrodes, leave to soak and wipe off with a lint free cloth. (Please follow the recommendations of the
manufacturer.)
We recommend Bacillol-AF for the disinfection of the electrodes.
