4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
ELECTROvet EZ generates high voltages. Users must read and apply
following recommendations.
General recommendations
-
Before using the device for the first time, clean, decontaminate and sterilize the electrode.
See Section - Maintenance.
-
Before the ELECTROvet EZ is used for the first time, it is essential to carry out tests on a
plastic surface to determine how pulses are sent and to help to adopt the right clinical
procedure. Repeat these exercises as many times as necessary.
-
The disassembly of the device is strictly prohibited. To maintain LEROY Biotech product
warranty, it must not be altered or modified in any way. Changes or product modifications will
void your warranty.
The device
-
Make sure the device is properly plugged in. The use of the electrical socket with its grounded
connection is mandatory.
-
Check the accessories and cords regularly to locate any insulation fault and replace them if
necessary.
-
Do not use the device if it occurs to be defective in any way. In the event of a malfunction,
contact the supplier.
The electrodes
-
It is essential to replace used or damaged ELECTROvet EZ accessories with the appropriate
new ELECTROvet EZ accessories to avoid damaging or burning out the device.
-
Prior to each use, needle electrodes must be cleaned, decontaminated and sterilized.
Connected electrodes that are not being used temporarily must be kept well away from the
patient.
-
The patient should never come into contact with grounded metal parts (operating table,
support, etc.) during the use of the device. If you want to minimize the motion of the patient
when the pulses are delivered, try the following tips:
-
use ropes,
-
protect the down side eyes,
-
avoid the nerves.
-
Direct contact between the practitioner’s skin and the patient’s should be avoided when the
pulses are being delivered.
-
ELECTROvet EZ has a safety system that limits the intensity delivered. If the device detects
that intensity is too high, it stops sending pulses. This occurs when the resistance of the
treatment area is too weak (too much pressure applied with the electrode, too much gel, liquid
or blood on the treatment area, i.e., in a conductive environment).
