Group in Santa Monica, California. He also served as an expert research and
practice consultant to Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and the United States
Army and Navy. He is an author of books and articles and lectured frequently to
physicians and psychologists worldwide on pain and stress until his retirement
in 2020.
Results in electromedicine are based on the design of the waveform, the amount
of current, the location of the electrodes, and the amount of time it is used. The
Alpha-Stim
®
AID is a microcomputer incorporating the latest advances in solid
state electronics. All components are of the highest quality available to assure
the user reliable and trouble-free performance.
The design assures electrical safety by the use of readily available 1.5 volt
AAA batteries.
The Alpha-Stim
®
AID was developed through original research by
Electromedical Products International, Inc. It is a precision technology which
generates a modified square, bipolar waveform of 0.5 Hz (pulses per second), at
50 to 500 microamperes (1 µA is one-millionth of an ampere), in a 50%
duty cycle.
The Alpha-Stim
®
AID is small, compact and light-weight. It was designed to
be versatile. It can be used in a health care practitioner's office, clinic or hospital,
for portable and quick response needs such as emergency medical or military
applications, as well as for self-administered treatment at home on a scheduled
or as-needed basis.
The controls are fully digital for precision, consistency and reliability and at
the same time simple and easy to operate. An adjustable timer and a locking
option that freezes the treatment time and current settings assures the
prescribed treatment waveform and dosage even if you are distracted or fall
asleep. The amount of current can easily be increased to reduce treatment time
or decreased when necessary to assure comfort.
One important feature of the Alpha-Stim
®
AID is an electronic circuit which
operates to maintain a nearly constant current flow to the electrodes minimizing
the effects of skin resistance variations. The Alpha-Stim
®
AID continuously
performs self-diagnostics to assure that all aspects of the circuitry are always
working properly, and the electrodes are making adequate contact with skin.
Ergonomic and user-friendly features (such as the lock, auto-off timers and
alarm that warns you if an electrode falls off) make the Alpha-Stim
®
AID reliable,
easy, quick, and fun to use.
