4.2 USER SEQUENCES
Serves to work with the list of self-designed sequences of therapy programs. The selected sequence can be run,
edited, and deleted from this menu.
4.2.1 Creating New Sequence
Limitation of choice of currents in one sequence when there is no pause set between the sections:
If the option pause between sections is set, the unit stops generation after each current and the intensity of the next
current has to be set manually. In this case, there is no limitation and the user can select and combine any current in
one sequence. We suggest to set this option for electrotherapy sequences.
If the pause between sections is not set, the unit generates the same intensity for all currents. Be careful when setting
sequences. Each current is felt differently by the patient. Whereas in case of TENS the patient tolerates intensity of
about 100 mA, the maximum tolerated intensity in case of DD currents is 10 times lower. Combine in one sequence
only currents that are perceived by the patient in a similar way – such as currents with the same pulse length and with
maximum difference in frequency 1:10. Monophasic, symmetric and alternating currents should not be mutually
combined.
The following combinations are recommended if the pause between sections is not set:
• diadynamic currents
• monophasic pulses of the same length with DC component (differing in frequency or modulation)
• symmetric pulses of the same length with zero DC component (differing in frequency or modulation)
• alternating pulses of the same length with zero DC component (differing in frequency or modulation)
• mid-frequency bipolar currents (differing in frequency or modulation)
• interferences
• TENS (differing in frequency or modulation)
• ultrasound therapies
• laser therapies
