purposes and not intended as training or treatment guidelines. Full training
is recommended to use Point-stim and Multi-stim. Please refer to the relevant
training materials and manual.
Activity Reading:
Objective Indication of Skin Impedance
The InterX waveform is sensitive to changes in skin impedance and can be
used to provide a relative measure of impedance between different points on
the skin. The optimal treatment area is identified by the comparison of AR(s),
there are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ readings.
Theicon indicates that the Activity Reading capability is active. When
placed on the skin, the device will display an Activity Reading (AR) on the
screen. The higher the number, the higher the activity or body response
to injury. Higher numbers relate to lower impedance of the tissue. AR is a
measurement of the effect that skin impedance has on the waveform.

1. Select a preset
Select a preset stimulation pattern that displays the icon. Preset stimulation
patterns with active Activity Reading are available in the Acute and Chronic
setting list. This feature is not available in the Cycle settings.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Set stimulation intensity (pg. 12-13)
The stimulation should be a comfortable tingling sensation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Place the device on the skin
Place the device onto the skin. After one second of skin contact, the Activity
Reading (AR) will appear on screen. It is the green number in the middle
of the screen. It will appear for 3 seconds. If the device is held on the skin,
the InterX will automatically start to calculate a Point-stim. If the device is
removed from the skin, the Activity Reading will disappear immediately.

to identify the target for
