Is the insulated plastic covered cord considered critical or non-critical?

The insulated plastic covered cord is classified as non-critical because it does not directly contact the skin or enter into sterile environments. In the context of electrolysis and other skin-related procedures, critical items are those that come into direct contact with broken skin or sterile tissues, requiring strict sterilization processes to prevent infection. Non-critical items, such as the insulated plastic covered cord, are used in the environment but do not have the same risk of transmitting pathogens. Therefore, they typically require less stringent disinfection protocols.

In essence, while the functionality of the insulated plastic cord is important for the operation of electrolysis machines, its design and use mean that it doesn't fall under the category needing critical handling procedures. This distinction is crucial for maintaining safety and hygiene standards in electrolysis practice.
