Interferential / Premodulated Instructions
WARNING
• NEVER turn the power on or off while the unit is connected to the patient.
• Always give the Remote Stop cable to the patient prior to the treatment.
• Always STOP a treatment before removing or attaching electrodes or leads. Leads and
electrodes must only be applied to the patient before a treatment is started.
• Never use worn or damaged leads or electrodes as these may result in injury to the patient.
• See the contraindications, warnings, and precautions for interferential and premodulated
treatments in this manual before administering a treatment to a patient.
• Additional warning from the Canadian Health and Welfare Department, Health Protection
Branch: WARNING: Thoracic applications are contraindicated. Cardiac fibrillation may
occur if output current is 50 mA RMS or greater for any output circuit. (For use in Canada
and Japan, this device is limited to 50mA output.)
An interferential treatment uses both channels 1 and 2 and four electrodes. The device will
automatically select these channels when you select IFC. A premodulated treatment uses one
channel and two electrodes. The device will automatically select the first available channel (1
or 2) when you select PREMOD. If desired, you may set up two premod treatments using
available channels.
