Setting polarity between ultrasound head and electrode
After interconnection with the electrotherapy device, the ultrasound head becomes the anode (+). The other pole is
cathode (-) which is the electrode with black banana plug. If the ultrasound head is required to be the cathode (-)
during combined therapy, select ‘negative polarity’ in the therapy parameters screen of the electrotherapy unit.
To apply electrotherapy only with interconnected units, cancel the choice ‘interconnection with electrotherapy’ on
the BTL-5000 Sono screen. The electrotherapy electrodes are automatically connected to the electrotherapy output.
