EXAMPLE: For a 40 mA-minute dose, the display shows:
NOTES:
1. Maximum possible dose is 80 mA-min. The unit beeps and the display
flashes “LIMIT” if an attempt is
made to exceed 80 mA-min.
2. After a two-second delay, current
can be set.
B. Set Current: Read electrode instructions for recommended current.
Turn the CURRENT knob clockwise to set the current. Maximum possible
is 4.0 mA.
EXAMPLE: To deliver 4.0 mA of current, the
display shows:
IMPORTANT: Current lower than 4.0 mA is
recommended for:
1. Patients known to be sensitive to direct current.
2. Sensitive anatomic sites (e.g., fingers, carpal tunnel area, palms, face,
feet).
3. Patients with thin or fragile skin.
C. Start Treatment:
Turn on the ON / DOSE / START knob clockwise one “click” to start treatment.
Current automatically ramps up gradually to desired set point and display shows:
NOTES:
1. “DOSE” shows dose delivered as
mA-minutes accumulate.
2. “TIME” shows time remaining in
minutes and seconds until treatment
is complete. Time calculation is
automatic.
3. “CURRENT” shows actual current
being delivered in mA-minutes.
4. Automatic current ramp includes
built in “comfort pauses.”
IMPORTANT:
If a patient experiences significant discomfort at a current setting of 4.0 mA,
the current may be decreased anytime during the treatment by turning the
CURRENT knob counterclockwise. Treatment time is automatically increased to
achieve the preset dose. For example, if the current is reduced from 4.0 mA to
2.0 mA, the treatment time will automatically double to deliver the preset dose.
TIP:
For manual ramp up: Set dose, then set current below the maximum desired.
Example: Set current at 0.1 mA. Start treatment. Gradually increase current to
desired level, according to patient comfort, by turning CURRENT knob clockwise.
Each “click” increases current 0.1 mA.
