The two electrode plates are put on the sanitary cloth with the plates’ upper edge 5 cm from the sanitary cloth edge and with the wire edges of the two electrode plates slightly far than the opposite ends of the two plates, actually showing “八” shape.
Put the well-heated medicine bags on the two electrode plates respectively, isolating with sanitary cloth in the middle.
Press the two medicine bags with your hands to make the surface flat.

The specific way is to turn the amperage knob gradually from left to right until you feel comfortable when the body get used to certain amperage, and keep certain amperage, then increase to appropriate amperage according to one’s bearing capacity.
Time control for electrotherapy. Each period for the osmoscope is expected to last 45 minutes and patients can take 1-2 periods each time according to his feelings (i.e. 45-90 minutes each time). They can take a rest during the process and listen to gentle music to relax themselves.
