Accessories
•
Check the electrode cables and the electrodes at least once
a month. Check whether the insulation is still intact. See
§5.1.
•
Use always demineralized water with vacuum electrodes to
avoid lime deposits in the watertank, the tubes and the
sponges.
•
Use only moisten sponges. Too dry sponges can cause
burning of the skin under the electrodes.
•
Do not use vacuum electrodes with DC currents. The DC
currents cause damage to the vacuum cups by ionization.
