Abstract
The hazards accompanying the increasing use of line-operated electrical devices for diagnosis and therapy as well as the more common hospital appliances such as electrically operated beds, television sets, radio sets, and so forth have been recently reemphasized.1 Most physicians are aware of the dangers of alternating current (60 Hz AC) or of high voltage direct current (DC) , especially in relation to cardiac function. However, few physicians seem to be aware of the hazards of low voltage direct current. A standard text2 on laboratory safety fails to mention the subject. Low voltage direct current is used with many different types of miniature electronic devices and iontophoresis.
