Electrode positioning and choice of treatment parameters should always be adapted 

to the treatment guidelines. 

 

 

 

For currents in which a chemical burn is possible (e.g. galvanic current, diadynamic 

current, currents with galvanic share), the recommended maximum current density is 

2 mA rms/cm² electrode surface.  

 

 

 

If the current density exceeds 2 mA eff/cm², an increased attention from the user is 

required.  

 

 

 

Note that with a smaller electrode surface a higher current density is achieved by 

using different electrodes. 

 

 

Caution

The Tens treatment should not be used on the head or directly on the eye. 

 

 

Caution

!

 

In simultaneous operation, the ultrasonic head may be used as the dynamic electrode 

in connection with a stationary electrode, which is connected to the electrode cable. 

The ultrasonic and electrode channels form an application part. Please note that 

therapeutic currents flow in this mode via the ultrasound head.
