4.5 Applying the Suction Electrodes
1. It is important to select the proper electrode size, depending on the body part to be treated. As a rule, use
small-size electrodes for high-flexion body parts (such as the arms) and large-size electrodes for low-
flexion parts (such as the back).
2. Prior to starting the treatment, always thoroughly rinse the sponges in luke-warm water, then squeeze
the water out and insert the sponges into the electrodes.
3. To moisten the sponges, use tap water.
4. Always verify that the edge of the electrode will not get deformed in the course of application.
(Accordingly, the sealing lip must lie flat on the skin.)
5. Apply the electrodes to the skin and hold them in place until the sucking action sets in.
!!
Note!
Each suction electrode can easily be taken off by raising the electrode, e.g. for changing their the
position on the body.
6. After switched off, all electrodes applied will come off automatically.

Then take the electrodes off the patient’s skin. For this, lift the edge of suction electrode. The electrode will
