* Effective inhibition occurs when the curve remains below the 10 µA line. Failure occurs when the curve breaks through the 10 µA line below a potential of 700 mV.

* Effective inhibition occurs when the 10 µA line is either not exceeded at all or at least until after a potential value of 'redox' + 250 mV. Failure occurs when the curve shows a sharp rise ('pitting potential') at a potential value less than +1200 mV, and when 'reversed' it does not stay above the potential value of 'redox potential' + 250 mV.
