Combination Therapy Instructions
The following combination therapy instructions are for DYNATRON 850plus USERS
ONLY. The Dynatron 550plus does not offer the ultrasound feature.
WARNING
• DO NOT use combination therapy for underwater treatment. Placing active electrodes under
water poses a serious hazard to the patient!
• Use VERY LOW STIM INTENSITY for combo treatments.
• Remember to observe all contraindications, warnings, precautions, and usage cautions for
BOTH ultrasound and electrical stimulation therapy when performing combination therapy.
• Since electrical current travels between the electrode and the soundhead during combo
treatment, the electrode should be placed in proximity with the treatment area. Do not place
the electrode and soundhead in positions that will cause current to pass through
contraindicated areas.
• Avoid removing the soundhead from the skin surface during “Stim Through Soundhead”
treatments, as this may cause increased current density momentarily which may be
uncomfortable to the patient. The soundhead should remain in full contact of the skin until
current output is stopped.
• Be alert for any sign of periosteal (bone) pain.
Comboplus™
Dynatronics’ new Comboplus feature means you have almost unlimited options in setting up
a combination treatment with the Dynatron 850plus. Now you can
• Combine an ultrasound treatment with any electrotherapy modality provided by
this device (single-channel options only; Premodulated, Biphasic, Russian, High
Volt, or Microcurrent).
• Set up a combination treatment using any of the three electrotherapy output jacks.
This means combination therapy is no longer restricted to just one channel—any
channel may be used
A special “combo” lead wire is provided in the standard accessories for this device to
accommodate the Comboplus feature. This lead wire is plugged into the selected stim jack;
then the banana end of the lead is connected to the stim input jack on the back of the device,
and the pin end of the lead is connected to an electrode to be placed on the patient. The
following illustration shows one example of a combination therapy setup. Since any of the
channels may be used with combination therapy, it is important to note the channel selected
by the device during setup and connect the lead wire to the correct channel before setting
intensity for the treatment.
