Simultaneous Treatments
The Dynatron 850plus and 550plus allow several combinations of simultaneous treatments to
be delivered at once using available channels. Simultaneous treatments are not the same as
combo treatments. A combo treatment combines ultrasound with a stim therapy into a single
treatment. A combo treatment is always delivered to one patient. Simultaneous treatments
are independent treatments that are set up separately, that have separate treatment timers, and
which may be delivered to one or more patients at the same time.
You can set up any number of separate treatments as described below with the exceptions
noted:
• Channels 1 and 2 may be used for one interferential, two premodulated, one
premodulated and one Russian, or one premodulated and one biphasic treatment. For
treatments using one channel, the device will select the next available channel. For
treatments using two channels, the device will select both channels 1 and 2.
• Russian or biphasic parameters selected will apply to both channels in a channels 1 and
2 at once. Therefore, you cannot have both a Russian and a biphasic treatment
simultaneously. You may deliver two biphasic or two Russian treatments.
• A separate High Volt treatments may be set up regardless of any other treatments that
may be currently running.
• A separate Ultrasound treatment may be set up, or a combination treatment using
ultrasound and a single-channel modality with any available channel.
• The device allows only ONE attended therapy
to be delivered at one time. Attended
therapies include ultrasound, microcurrent probe, and high volt probe treatments. While
the attended therapy is in progress, other available channels may be used for unattended
treatments (subject to availability of the channel needed).
• Microcurrent therapy is delivered only through Channel 1 and
through the
Microcurrent Probes output jack at the same time. Whenever any microcurrent
treatment is in progress (probes or electrodes), Channel 1 is unavailable for any other use.
However, Channel 2 may be used for other stim treatments.
Set Up A Second Treatment
To set up the second (or third) treatment, after you have set up and started the first modality,
press the modality key for the second treatment to be set up. The device automatically selects
the treatment channel(s) to be used. The green channel light shows you the channel(s)
selected for this treatment. Plug the lead or cable into the corresponding output jack(s) before
you proceed with setting up the treatment.
Select the treatment parameters for the second treatment following the setup instructions for
that modality provided in this manual. When parameters have been entered, press START.
