About the Electrodes

The output electrode plate and the 0V electrode plate are important accessories that affect the performance of the electron therapy device; they are consumable parts. Please be sure to replace the electrode plates at the appropriate time and handle them properly.

Replacing the Electrodes

The output plates AC and ACs are consumable parts that degrade over time. As wear progresses, it becomes difficult to maintain the product’s performance; therefore, Reltech recommends replacingthem annually.
The 0V plates BD and YD do not show any degradation over time, so annual replacement is not necessary.

Handling of Electrodes

Exposure to moisture accelerates the deterioration of the plates.

  If the area where the electrodes are attached becomes damp due to perspiration during use, be sure to dry it thoroughly.
  Replace any damp electrode covers.
  When not in use, store the device so that the surfaces of the output electrodes (AC and ACs) do not come into contact with those of the 0V electrodes (BD and YD).

The output plate and the 0V plate have no front or back.

  By alternating between the two sides, you can minimize moisture and deterioration.

Do not bend the electrodes to treat the patient.

  Stress is placed on the curved sections, causing them to deteriorate.

Do not apply power while the output plates AC and ACs are in contact with the 0V plates BD and YD.

  Before applying power, make sure that these output plates and the 0V plate are not in contact.

Regarding Broken Pole Plate Cables

If a continuous force in the same direction is applied to the electrode cable—particularly around the connection between the cable and the plate (the part worn on the body)—or if a large force is applied even for a short time, the electrode cable may break as shown in the figure below.

To prevent cable breakage, please observe the following precautions.

1. Do not bend the cable sharply, especially around the connection between the cable and the plate, and do not use it while it is bent.
2. Do not place heavy objects on the cable.
3. Do not twist the cable or pull on the connection between the cable and the plate.
4. Do not coil the cable too tightly (do not bundle it into a small diameter).

If the cable or plate is even slightly torn or damaged, do not use it; replace it with a new one.

What to Do If a Plate Comes Loose from the 0V Electrode BD/YD Cable

If the plate comes loose from the 0V electrode BD/YD cable, as shown in the image above, please contact us.
