Treatment
Connect the patient lead to the output socket of the unit. Attach suitable
electrodes to the patient and connect the patient lead to the electrode using
the blue and yellow cables provided. The yellow cables are channel A and
the blue cables channel B. For stimulation modes that have a dc
component, the number 1 lead is positive and the number 2 lead negative.
Check that all the unit settings are as required for the chosen type of
stimulation, including the necessary amount of treatment time being set on
the treatment counter.
Either: From the ‘Setup’ screen, with channel A or B selected as required,
gradually turn up the rotary control until the prescribed output level as
displayed on the output level bar is achieved (or a comfortable level for the
patient), then select the other channel if also required (from its button at the
bottom of the screen) and turn it up using the rotary control until the correct
level is achieved. The ‘Output’ screen can now be selected from its button
at the bottom right and the treatment continued with both output levels
being visible and independent control of them available using the channel A
and B selection buttons at the bottom left.
Or: If the channel parameters have already been set in the ‘Setup’ screens
and ‘auditioning’ them with the patient is not required then it is possible to
go straight to the ‘Output’ screen by touching its button at the bottom right
and then start the treatment from there. It is possible to select both output
channels together to control them both at the same time if desired. In
Interferential 4-pole mode both channels are selected automatically.
Always advance the output control slowly.
During the last 5 seconds of any treatment, both outputs are smoothly
reduced to zero.
During any treatment, the ‘User programs’ button at the top right of the
screen is replaced by a ‘Stop’ button. Touching this will cause the treatment
to stop by being smoothly reduced to zero over a 5 second period. This is
also a safe way to stop a treatment.
When the treatment time reaches zero, a three second alarm is sounded.
