2.4.2
Capacitor-field applicators, elastic
These applicators are available in three different-sized pairs. The permanently attached, highly
flexible cable ensures maximum flexibility at the point of applicator connection and high
adaptability to bent or curved parts of the patient's body. The optimum distance between
applicator and skin is achieved with thick felt spacers that have to be placed in a cloth bag
together with the applicator. Velcro fastener or rubber bands can be used for fastening this
applicator arrangement.
2.4.3
Coil applicators
Three different sizes of different effective surfaces can be used for adjusting to size and volume
of the different treatment areas (for further information see subparagraphs 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6).
The electrode is held above the connection at the support arm (as for the capacitor-field
electrode).
The DIPLODE is designed as special electrode. Because of its swivelling side sections, it is
suitable for large-surface treatment and for treatment enclosing the area.
The twin-core electrode cable is permanently screwed to the diplode. A ball joint
(39)
in the
centre section facilitates optimum electrode application. The attachment to the support arm is by
means of the connection
(40)
into the fixing hole
(41)
of which the locking pin of the support
arm must snap. The claw
(42)
is to stabilize the electrode attachment and must enclose the
narrow side of the support-arm head.
2.4.4
Applicator connection cables
Highly flexible, low-loss special cables are used to connect the capacitor-field applicators.
To avoid any unwanted and inadmissible heat application to the patient he/she should not touch a
cable. Therefore, abundant cable length should be fed through the lower arm part
(24)
to secure
it.
2.5
Cleaning and disinfecting
Before cleaning or disinfecting the therapy unit must be switched off and the mains plug
disconnected.
For cleaning and disinfecting the therapy unit and accessories (except for the felt spacers, of
course) we recommend commercially available surface disinfectants to be used according to their
instructions for use.
