Q
volts:
A
110-120V
3
Q
wavelength
A
1ms
4
Q
tx time
A
20-30 min
5
Q
____: when the 2 freq meet they cancel each other out
A
deductive interference
6
Q
difference btw quad polar and bi-polar
A
quad: 4 electrodes- cross endogenously
bipolar: crosses in the machine exogenously
7
Q
3 benefits of using vacuum electrodes
A
suction
causes superficial cap. dilation
decrease skin resistance
