FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: device uses an active and passive electrodes, their current leads, active electrode body, electronic unit and casing of the electronic unit, whose active electrode is made as a spring-loaded rod; one end of the spring is electrically coupled to the rod, and the other end - to the current lead of the active electrode. The active electrode moves in the axial duct of the casing, having movement stops made of insulation material. The device uses also an active electrode holder, bowl to accommodate the capillary electrode, capillary electrode, ring magnet and a reed relay. The casing of the active electrode is combined with the casing of the electronic unit through a moistureproof wall, rigidly attached to which is the reed relay with its electric leads, the spring concentrically envelops the reed relay.
