2. Product Description

The Rehab-Series is a family of products for physical therapy, the Rehab-Series offers the
practitioner a wide range of treatment options. The devices share an identical control panel
equipped with a full colour touch panel means treatment setup has never been easier. A few
simple key presses are all you need to quickstart a treatment. The User Interface intuitively
groups and displays all the options for a modality setup on the large touch screen to ensure
that treatment parameters can easily be selected and adjusted. The devices are mains pow-
ered and can optionally be equipped with a battery for mains independent operation. The
family comprises the products described below.

3
Rehab-Series

StimRehab

The StimRehab is equipped with two or four completely identical electrotherapy channels.
The electrotherapy channels can be used in combination (linked) or totally independent. A
comprehensive set of current waveforms is available, targeting both pain management and
muscle stimulation applications.
Protocols can run on linked or independent channels. With independent channels two or
four different protocols can be performed simultaneously.

UltraRehab

The UltraRehab is an ultrasound therapy device. The device provides two positions for
attachment of an ultrasound applicator. Depending on the device configuration ordered,
the UltraRehab comes with an applicator with a large contact area, an applicator with a
small contact area or with both applicators. The applicators can operate in continuous or
pulsed mode at an ultrasound frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz. The lower frequency (1 MHz)
penetrates deeper than a higher frequency (3 MHz), thus the practitioner can decide which
frequency to use according to the condition and depth to be treated. Contact control sus-
pends the application of ultrasonic energy when acoustical contact with the treatment area
becomes insufficient. The applicators are suitable for subaqual treatments.

ComboRehab

The ComboRehab is a combination device, combining the functions of the StimRehab and
the UltraRehab in a single device. With the ComboRehab the simultaneous application of
ultrasound and electrotherapy (combination therapy) is also possible. The remaining elec-
trotherapy channel can then be used independently.

VAM200

Electrotherapy can be applied through standard or vacuum electrodes. With vacuum elec-
trodes the VAM200 generates the vacuum through which the vacuum electrodes are
attached to the patient. The device is placed beneath the StimRehab or ComboRehab, from
which its power is derived and through which it is also operated.

MTM200

The MTM200 is a two channel electrotherapy module intended to upgrade the StimRehab
and ComboRehab to Four Channel Electrotherapy or Combination Therapy Systems. This
4
Rehab-Series

module is designed for use with the StimRehab or ComboRehab only.

EMG200

The EMG200 is designed for use with the StimRehab and the ComboRehab. With EMG
electrodes the EMG200 generates the sEMG (Surface Electromyography) , ETS (Surface
Electromyography with Triggered Stimulation) through which the EMG electrodes are
attached to the patient.

BTM200

The BTM200 Battery Module is designed for use with the Rehab-Series systems to create a
battery powered Therapy System. No additional Software is required for the Module as the
System automatically recognizes its presence and activates all necessary software inherent
in the System.

15
Rehab-Series

These waveforms are often applied in combination with a surge program, which consists of
a sequence of exercise and rest periods. Two options are available here:

‡ Reciprocal application, where stimulation alternates between agonists and antago-


nists. This is accomplished through asynchronous stimulation over two current chan-
nels with an appropriate delay between the two channels.
‡ Co-contract application, where two channels operate synchronously to co-contract
agonist and antagonist or different sections of a larger muscle group.

4.1.3.1 IF-4P IFC(Interferential) Traditional (4 Pole)

Interferential Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current is distributed through of two


channels (four electrodes). The currents cross each other in the body at the area requiring
treatment. The two currents interfere with each other at this crossing point, resulting in a
modulation of the intensity (the current intensity increases and decreases at a regular
frequency).

16
Rehab-Series

Parameters:

Carrier frequency: Carrier frequency is the base frequency of the alternating current.
Beat Frequency: The frequency at which the amplitude is modulated. This is the effective
therapeutic frequency.
Vector-Auto: Vector-Auto is a form of amplitude modulation and is a percentage of the
interferential amplitude (intensity) and will decrease from its maximum level over 6 seconds.
Vector-Manual Vector-Manual is a form of amplitude modulation. When Vector-Manual
set to a different Angle, the output intensities of two channels are different. The rhythmical
varying of the current amplitude of each channel produces the perceived movement of the
interferential field by the patient.

4.1.3.2 IFC(Interferential) Premodulated (2 Pole)

Premodulated Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current comes out of one channel
(two electrodes). The current intensity is modulated: it increases and decreases at a regular
frequency (the Amplitude Modulation Frequency).

Parameters:

Carrier frequency: Carrier frequency is the base frequency of the alternating current.
Beat Frequency: The frequency at which the amplitude is modulated. This is the effective
therapeutic frequency.
Cycle Time: refers to the time that the current is On and Off (in seconds). Example: for a
Cycle Time of 10/50, the current will be flowing for 10 seconds and resting for 50 seconds.
Ramp Time: the time that the current will take to increase to the set intensity level. Ramps
occur at the beginning and ending of a timed On cycle.

4.1.3.3 Biphasic TENS

The Asymmetrical Biphasic and the Symmetrical Biphasic waveform are often used in TENS
(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) applications. The TENS has a short pulse
duration. It is capable of strong stimulation of the nerve fibers in the skin as well as of muscle
tissue. Because of its short pulse, the patient typically tolerates the current well, even at rela-
tively high intensities. The Alternating Rectangular waveform is an interrupted biphasic
current with a rectangular pulse shape. This waveform is commonly used as a pain manage-
ment application.

17
Rehab-Series

Parameters:

Phase Duration: expressed in µs, is the elapsed time from the beginning to the end of the
initial pulse phase.
Frequency: In a pulsed current the Frequency refers to the number of pulses that occur in a
one second period of time and is denoted as in Hz or Pulses Per Second (pps).
Frequency Modulation: expressed in Hz, defines a variable frequency range that is summed
to the Pulse frequency i.e when the Pulse frequency is set to 80 Hz and the Frequency modu-
lation is set to 40 Hz, the final frequency will vary from 80 – 120 Hz.
Amplitude Modulation: Rhythmical fluctuation of the intensity to prevent accommodation.
Burst Frequency: expressed in Hz or bps, defines the repetition rate of bursts of pulses. A
Burst (an interrupted train) is a finite series of pulses that are delivered at a specific
frequency and are separated by interburst intervals.

4.1.3.4 Russian Stimulation

Russian Current is a rectangle waveform, delivered in bursts or series of pulses. This method
was claimed by its author (Kots) to produce maximal muscle strengthening effects without
significant discomfort to the patient.

Parameters:

Carrier Frequency: Carrier frequency is the base frequency of the alternating current.
Frequency: In a pulsed current the Frequency refers to the number of pulses that occur in a
one second period of time and is denoted as in Hz or Pulses Per Second (pps).
Duty: The percentage of the total treatment time that the current is actually flowing.
Cycle Time: refers to the time that the current is On and Off (in seconds). Example: for a
Cycle Time of 10/50, the current will be flowing for 10 seconds and resting for 50 seconds.
Ramp: The time that the current will take to increase to the set intensity level. Ramps occur
at the beginning and ending of a timed On cycle.

4.1.3.5 High Volt

The High Volt waveform has a very brief pulse duration characterized by 2 distinct peaks
delivered at high voltage. The waveform is monophasic (current flows in one direction
only).The high voltage causes a decreased skin resistance making the current comfortable
and easy to tolerate. The very short pulse duration followed by a very long interpulse interval
eliminates the formation of any appreciable chemical or thermal effects in the tissue.

18
Rehab-Series

The High Volt waveform is frequently used to increase local blood circulation and relax
muscles in spasm.

Frequency: In a pulsed current the Frequency refers to the number of pulses that occur in a
one second period of time and is denoted as in Hz or Pulses Per Second (pps).
Polarity: This refers to the polarity (+/-) of the red lead wire; connect the lead wire to the
active electrode.
Cycle Time: refers to the time that the current is On and Off (in seconds). Example: for a
Cycle Time of 10/50, the current will be flowing for 10 seconds and resting for 50 seconds.
Ramp: The time that the current will take to increase to the set intensity level. Ramps occur
at the beginning and ending of a timed On cycle.

4.1.3.6 Micro Current

Microcurrent is a monophasic waveform of very low intensity. The literature reports benefi-
cial effects of this waveform in the treatment of wounds. The physiological working mecha-
nism of this effect is as yet not clearly understood. It is thought to stimulate tissue healing by
stimulating the 'current of injury', a current which naturally occurs in healing tissue.

Parameters:

Frequency: In a pulsed current the Frequency refers to the number of pulses that occur in a
one second period of time and is denoted as in Hz or Pulses Per Second (pps).

4.1.3.8 Diadynamic Currents

The Diadynamic waveforms are rectified alternating currents. The alternating current is
modified (rectified) to allow the current to flow in one direction only.

MF: (Monophasé Fixe) - Frequency of 50 Hz: phase duration of 10 ms followed by a pause


of 10 ms.
DF: (Diphasé Fixe) - Frequency of 100 Hz: phase duration of 10 ms followed immediately
by another identical phase of 10 ms.

4.1.3.9 NMS

NMS is a symmetrical biphasic waveform with a 120 µsec interphase interval (NMS Burst is
a symmetrical biphasic waveform delivered in a burst format). Because the pulse is relatively
short, the waveform has a low skin load, making it suitable for applications requiring high
intensities, such as in muscle strengthening protocols.

Frequency: In a pulsed current the Frequency refers to the number of pulses that occur in a
one second period of time and is denoted as in Hz or Pulses Per Second (pps).
Phase Duration: expressed in µs, is the elapsed time from the beginning to the end of the
initial pulse phase.

4.2 Intended Use Ultrasound therapy

Ultrasound is a mechanical energy consisting of high-frequency vibrations applied by means


of an ultrasound applicator. These vibrations pass through the tissue of the body and are
gradually absorbed and transformed into heat. The resulting temperature increase triggers
biological changes to occur in the tissue for the relief of pain, relaxation of muscle spasms
and reduction of joint contractures.

4.2.1 Indications Ultrasound

Ultrasound is indicated for conditions that benefit from the application of deep heat: relief
of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures. The objective of therapeutic ultrasound in the
treatment of selected medical conditions associated with the chronic and sub chronic condi-
tions of bursitis/ capsulitis, epicondylitis, ligament sprains, tendinitis, scar tissue healing and
muscle strain, is to reduce pain.

4.2.2 Contra-indications Ultrasound

‡ The established contra-indications to heat therapy itself.


‡ In an area of the body where a malignancy is known to be present.
‡ Over or near bone growth centers until bone growth is complete.
‡ Over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker.
‡ Over a healing fracture.
‡ Over ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular disease where the blood supply
would be unable to follow the increase in metabolic demand and tissue necrosis might
result.
‡ In the presence of metal implants of any type.
‡ Patients with sensory loss on the area to be treated.
‡ The gonads or to the developing fetus.
‡ The heart.
‡ The brains.
‡ The testicles.
‡ The eyes.
‡ Facial sinus as this exposes the eyes to the same hazards.
‡ Ultrasound should not be used on unconscious patients.

27
Rehab-Series

4.2.3 Precautions and Warnings Ultrasound

‡ Precaution should be taken when using therapeutic ultrasound on patients with hem-
orrhagic diatheses.
‡ Ultrasound treatment presents a potential safety hazard in patients whose pain
response has been decreased because of disease, previous surgery, ionizing radiation
therapy, chemotherapy, general or regional anaesthesia. It may cause burns. Do not
use on insensitive areas or in the presence of poor circulation.
‡ Large thermal doses may result in regions of thermal aseptic necrosis which may not
be apparent on inspection of the skin.
‡ See also chapter 3, Precautionary Instructions, for general Warnings and Precautions.

4.2.4 Relevant Hazards Ultrasound

‡ Use of ultrasound in treating areas above the shoulders may pose relevant hazards.
While it is recognized that certain specific conditions involving the eyes can and have
been treated by specialists qualified by training, knowledge and experience to admin-
ister such treatments, such application carries with it recognized hazards of applying
heat to the eyes.
‡ Treatment of the facial sinus exposes the eyes to the same hazards.
‡ Treatment of the thyroid, as well as lymph nodes in the neck, may expose the patient
to as yet undetermined effects, in as much as the safety of such treatments has not yet
been established.

4.2.4 Relevant Hazards Ultrasound

‡ Cataracts. ‡ Male sterility.


‡ Enhanced drug activity. ‡ Thermal stress.

4.2.4 Relevant Hazards Ultrasound

Ultrasound Frequency: expressed in MHz, is the frequency of the ultrasound waves. The
ultrasound frequency determines the penetration depth, which has the largest value at 1
MHz. The ultrasound frequency can be set at 1 MHz or 3 MHz.
Duty Cycle: expressed in %, defines the ratio of the pulse duration to the pulse repetition
time. Ultrasound can be applied in pulsed or in continuous mode. When the Duty Cycle is
set to 100%, the apparatus operates in continuous mode.

28
Rehab-Series

Effective Radiation Area (ERA): expressed in cm², defines the cross-sectional area of the
ultrasound beam (See technical specifications for details). The Effective Radiation Area is
fixed and defined by the size of the ultrasound applicator.
Ultrasound Power: is the ultrasound output expressed in Watt. The ultrasound output
display can be toggled between Watt and Watt/cm². In pulsed mode the power during the
pulse is displayed. The time averaged power can be obtained by multiplying this value with
the Duty Cycle.
Ultrasound Amplitude: expressed in Watt/cm², is the quotient of Ultrasound Power and
Effective Radiation Area. The ultrasound output display can be toggled between Watt and
Watt/cm². In pulsed mode the Amplitude during the pulse is displayed. The time-averaged
Amplitude can be obtained by multiplying this value by the Duty Cycle.

4.3 Combination Therapy

Combination therapy is the combined application of ultrasound and electrical stimulation.


With combination therapy the metal surface of the ultrasound applicator becomes the nega-
tive electricalstimulation electrode, while the lead wire with the red connector remains the
positive electrical stimulation electrode. Combination therapy is available with all current
waveforms, but limited to channel 2. Combination therapy is typically used for the reduction
of muscle spasm.The combined Contra-indications and Adverse Effects of paragraph 4.1
and 4.2 apply

4.4 EMG Therapy

Myofeedback is a form of feedback, in which the patient receives electronically recorded


information about his own physiological processes. The electromyographic recording used
in the diagnostics and treatment of the moving mechanism is an indispensable supplement
to the study of movement. When we place electrodes on the skin to obtain information from
an EMG signal about the underlying musculature, we must be acquainted with the develop-
ment of the EMG signal and the construction and function of the motor mechanism. Thus,
properties and mutations in the musculature, the joints system, the sensory and the neural
system can be found in the motor system and also in the EMG recording. Surface EMG pro-
vides us with detailed information about the organ-specific properties of a muscle, such as:

‡ the activation of the muscle;


‡ the muscle’s capacity for relaxation;
‡ coordination between muscles;
‡ the tiredness of a muscle;

29
Rehab-Series

‡ the capacity of a muscle to lengthen;

This makes Myofeedback especially suitable as a measuring instrument for charting our
locomotive operations.

Contraindications

Because Biofeedback therapy does not “do” anything to the body, few contraindications
exist. Biofeedback therapy is not recommended for persons with severe psychosis, depres-
sion, or obsessional neurosis, nor for debilitated patients or those with psychopathic person-
alities. However, because resulting functional improvements can require strenuous physical
effort, individuals interested in Biofeedback may need to be aerobically fit.

Precautions and Warnings:

Biofeedback is dangerous for diabetics and others with endocrine disorders, as it can
change the need for insulin and other medications. Please check with the doctor to see
whether this is an appropriate treatment for you.

7 Application Information
7.1 Electrotheraphy

CAUTION:
‡ Connection of accessories other than the ones specified by the manufacturer can
adversely affect the safety of the patient and correct functioning of the equipment, and
is therefore not permitted.
‡ To prevent infection, electrodes and sponge pads should not be used on broken skin.

7.1.1 Before treatment

‡ Check the patient for contra-indications and warnings as described in paragraph 4


Test the heat sensibility of the treatment area.
‡ Rinse the treatment area. Shaving hairy skin is recommended.

7.1.2 Flexible rubber electrodes


We recommend using the flexible rubber electrodes in combination with the supplied sponge
pads. When properly moistened, the sponge pads ensure low impedance between the skin
and the stimulator during treatment and they are easily cleaned afterwards. Follow the
guidelines below when using these electrodes.

‡ Prior to initial use thoroughly rinse the sponge pads in warm tap water to remove the
impregnating agent.
‡ Before application saturate the sponge pads with tap water. In areas with soft tap water
use a saline solution instead. This will improve electrical conduction.
‡ The supplied sponge pads have three layers. With AC currents, apply one sponge layer
between the skin and the electrode for minimum resistance.
‡ With DC currents, apply two sponge layers between the skin and the electrode. Two
layers provide more absorbing capacity for electrolysis by-products.
‡ Fix the electrode/sponge pad assembly to the patient using the supplied fixation straps.
‡ Depending on the electrode size, use two or three wraps to maximize the contact
surface. See the illustrations below.
‡ Use the stimulator in the Constant Current (CC) mode. This will maintain the set current
amplitude, even when the impedance of the sponge pads increases during treatment
caused by water evaporation.
‡ Keep the sponge pads well moistened during treatment, especially with DC currents. If
the current display starts blinking, it is an indication of poor electrical contact.
‡ After use clean the sponge pads as described in the User Maintenance instructions.

37
Rehab-Series

7.1.3Vacuum electrodes

There is a choice of large and small electrodes. The areas of the electrodes correspond to
those of the 4 x 6cm and 6 x 8cm flexible rubber electrodes. The vacuum electrodes are
sufficiently flexible to ensure optimum contact with the skin, but rigid enough to prevent any
changes in the contour of the part being treated, allowing full advantage to be taken of the
massage effect of the pulsed vacuum.

Keep the sponge pads well moistened during treatment.

After use clean the sponge pads as described in the User Maintenance instructions.

7.1.4 Self-adhesive electrodes

Self-adhesive electrodes have higher series impedance than flexible rubber electrodes. This
can cause the stimulator to terminate treatment at higher current amplitudes. When this
occurs it is recommended to continue the treatment with flexible rubber electrodes, com-
bined with properly moistened sponge pads.

Self-adhesive electrodes are not recommended for use with currents that contain a DC com-
ponent.

CAUTION:

Do not use electrodes on open wounds.

7.1.5 Electrolytic effects

Electrolysis occurs under the electrodes when current types with a DC component are
applied. Because the largest concentration of electrolytic by-products caused by ion migra-
tion occur under the electrodes, we recommend the use of the supplied sponges to keep the
effects to a minimum. Make sure that the sponges are kept well moistened and place the
thick side of the sponge between the flexible rubber electrode and the patient.

7.1.6 Current density


In the particular standard for Electrical Nerve and Muscle Stimulators, IEC 60601-2-10, it is
recommended not to exceed a current density of 2 mA r.m.s. / cm², otherwise skin irritations
or burns can occur. For current types that contain a DC component we recommend not to

38
Rehab-Series

exceed a current density of 0.2 mA / cm².

To find the maximum recommended current amplitude in mA for the Interferential, Premodu-
lated and Russian Stimulation current waveforms, multiply the electrode surface in cm² by
two. For all other current waveforms the stimulator output current can never exceed 50 mA
r.m.s. This implies that with an electrode surface of 25 cm² the current density can never
exceed 2 mA r.m.s. / cm². As a rule of thumb for smaller electrodes, such as the 3.2mm self
adhesives, the maximum current setting available on the stimulator for a given current wave-
form should proportionally be reduced.

For a precise calculation of the r.m.s. value of a pulsed current waveform the following
IRUPXODFDQEHXVHG,506 ,SHDN¥ 3KDVHGXUDWLRQ>—V@ SXOVHIUHTXHQF\>+]@ 

For symmetrical TENS currents, the Phase duration should be multiplied by 2. The value of
the peak current Ipeak can be taken from the current display.

Electrodes should be placed with care, ensuring good electrical contact over the entire elec-
trode surface.

7.1.7 Connection and disconnection reactions

Constant Current (CC) output characteristics may cause unpleasant connection and discon-
nection reactions if the electrodes are not securely placed or lose contact with the skin. Make
sure the current amplitude is set to 0 mA when you apply or remove the electrodes. Use the
Constant Voltage (CV) output mode with dynamic electrode applications.

7.2 Ultrasound

7.2.1 Contact control

The ultrasound applicator has a contact control function that suspends treatment when the
acoustical contact with the body drops below a certain level (see paragraph 10.1). The indi-
cator light on the applicator is turned on to signal this situation, the ultrasound Amplitude
display will start blinking and the treatment timer will stop counting down. During this situa-
tion the applicator emits a small amount of energy to sense restoration of acoustical contact.
You may experience this when the applicator only partially contacts the body. When contact
restoration is sensed the treatment is resumed at the set Amplitude.
The contact control function does not work at Amplitudes below 0.2 Watt/cm².

7.2.2 The contact medium

To ensure efficient transfer of energy, a contact medium is required between the ultrasound
applicator and the body. Air causes virtually total reflection of the ultrasound energy. The
best medium for the transfer of ultrasound energy is a gel.

‡ The gel should be applied to the part of the body to be treated and then spread out
with the ultrasound applicator.
‡ Never apply the gel to the ultrasound applicator. The applicator will register this as
acoustical contact and may emit ultrasound energy, which could damage the applica-
tor.

If the body surface is very irregular, making it difficult to obtain good contact between the
ultrasound applicator and the body, or if direct contact must be avoided (e.g. due to pain),
the affected area may be treated under water (subaqual method). The water should be
degassed (by previous boiling) in order to prevent air bubbles arising on the ultrasound
applicator and the body.

7.2.3 Before treatment

‡ Check the patient for contra-indications. See section 4.2.2 for details.
‡ Test the warmth sensibility of the treatment area.
‡ To optimize ultrasound transmission, clean the skin of the treatment area with soap or
a 70% alcohol solution.
‡ Strong hair growth has to be shaved.

7.2.4 During treatment

‡ The ultrasound applicator has to be moved constantly, also with the semi-static
method. During treatment the displayed ultrasound Amplitude can vary around the set
value, caused by fluctuations in acoustical coupling.
‡ Ask the patient regularly for his/her findings. If necessary the treatment will have to be
adapted. The Amplitude can be reduced or the continuous mode can be changed to
pulsed mode or vice versa.
‡ When there are signs that the ultrasound transmission is bad, add more contact gel or
spread it with the applicator.

40
Rehab-Series

CAUTION:

‡ The ultrasound applicator is a precision instrument. Great care has been taken during
the development and in production to obtain the best possible beam characteristics.
Rough treatment (jarring or dropping) can adversely affect these characteristics, and
must therefore be avoided.

7.2.5 After treatment

‡ Clean the skin of the patient and the ultrasound applicator with a towel or tissue. Clean
the applicator with a 70% alcohol solution.
‡ Check for the effects that can be expected (for example pain, circulation and mobility).
‡ Ask the patient to inform the therapist of any reactions.

7.3 Vacuum

Vacuum electrodes make good contact with the skin, which means that effective use is made
of the whole electrode area. The massage effect resulting from the pulsed vacuum ensures
a good blood flow through the skin under the electrodes. This reduces the resistance of the
skin and increases he effectiveness of the stimulation current.

‡ See paragraph 7.1.3 for the application of the vacuum electrodes.


‡ When you use only one vacuum channel, close the other channel with one of the
vacuum cables not in use.

7.4.1 Skin electrodes/Probe placement

f using the EMG or ETS phase,connect the EMG reference lead to a surface skin electrode
and place it appropriately on the body, making sure the skin is free from grease and dirt;
repeat the above procedure with the other two skin electrodes. If using a probe, place the
single surface skin electrode on the thigh area and then insert the probe.
Always use Reference wire (REF) for the precise EMG measurement!
Place reference electrode anywhere on your skin.When using with Vaginal probe, you can
place the reference electrode on your thigh.

7.4.2 Probes

Vaginal / Rectal Probes:


‡ Check if the connectors connected with the probe.
‡ We advice you to use NU-TEK’s Probe.
‡ Cleaning: Remember! The Vaginal or Rectal probe is for use with one patient only!
Carefully clean the Probe after use. Wash the probe gently in mild soapy water, rinse
and make sure the probe is completely dry before returning to storage in the plastic
bag. Read carefully the probe instruction of use, originally attached to the probe pack-
age.

NOTE:

Only NU-TEK, or appointed distributors /importers are approved to undertake servicing.

To adjust the output current, touch the tab of the selected channel. Its colour will change to
RUDQJHDIWHUZKLFKWKHFXUUHQWDPSOLWXGHFDQEHVHWZLWKWKHFHQWUDOFRQWUROOHU>@

The current amplitude can only be adjusted when the clock has been set.

With 4 polar interferential current waveforms the current amplitude operates on both chan-
nels simultaneously. In this case a balance facility is available for the classical interferential
current waveform (see paragraph 4.1.3 for details).

The unity of the displayed current amplitude depends on the previously selected current
waveform and can be expressed in mA, µA or V.

A treatment is started by adjusting the current amplitude, unless a surge program has been
selected. To start a surge program, touch the Start/Continue button in the navigation bar.

8.2.6.3 CC/CV mode

Depending on the selected current waveform, the electrotherapy channels can be used in the
Constant Current or Constant Voltage mode. It is advised to use the CV mode with dynamic
electrode applications. In CV mode the output current depends on the electrical contact with
the patient and can therefore vary. You can change the CC/CV setting in the parameter
menu.

8.2.6.4 Current polarity

When DC currents are used, the red connection is the positive connection and the black one
the negative connection.

Manually changing the polarity during a treatment will result in a current decaying to 0,
followed by a current with the opposite polarity, rising to a value equal to 80% of the previ-
ous value

9. Maintenance and Troubleshooting


9.1 Cleaning

9.1.1 Cleaning of the device

Switch off the device and disconnect it from the power supply.The apparatus can be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive liquid household
cleaner (no abrasive, no alcohol content solution). If a more sterile cleaning is needed,
use a cloth moistened with an antimicrobial cleaner.

CAUTION:

Do not submerse the apparatus in liquids. Should the unit accidentally become sub-
mersed, contact the dealer or Authorized Service center immediately .Do not attempt to
use a system that has been wet inside until inspected and tested by a Service Technician
Certified by Authorized Service center . Do not allow liquids to enter the ventilation
holes.

9.1.2 Cleaning of display panel

Use a soft and dry cotton cloth or micro fiber tissue to clean the panel. To remove
fingerprints or grease, use a non-abrasive glass cleaning agent. Apply a small amount
of the cleaning agent to a soft cotton cloth and then carefully clean the panel.

CAUTION:

‡ Do not spray the cleaning agent directly on the glass panel.


‡ Do not use cleaning agents that contain strong alkalis, lye, acid, detergents with
fluoride or detergents with ammonia.

9.1.3 Cleaning the electrodes

‡ Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode. Place the electrode
on the side of the protective backing that is labeled with the word on.
‡ It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of
cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry . Over Saturation
with water will reduce the adhesive properties.
‡ Between uses, store the electrodes in the reusable bag in a cool dry place.

65
Rehab-Series

CAUTION:

‡ The electrodes are intended for single patient use only .


‡ If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.
‡ Always use the electrodes with CE mark, or are legally marketed in the US under
510(K) procedure.

9.1.4 Cleaning the lead wires and cables

Periodically wipe the lead wires clean with a cloth dampened in a mild soap solution, and
then gently wipe them dry . Use of rubbing alcohol on the lead wires will damage the insula-
tion and dramatically shorten their life.

9.1.5 Ultrasound applicator

To prevent corrosion,clean and dry the contact surface immediately after use.Make sure that
no ultrasound gel remains on the applicator.We further recommend cleaning the applicator
and cable daily,using lukewarm water.The applicator can be disinfected using a cloth moist-
ened with a 70% alcohol solution.Check the applicator and cable regularly for damage.

9.1.6 Vacuum electrodes and sponges

The vacuum electrodes and sponges should be cleaned with lukewarm water. In the case of
persistent dirt, and for disinfection, a 70% alcohol solution may be used.

Sponges should be replaced regularly. It is recommended to keep sponges and a spare elec-
trode in stock.

Calcium scale can be deposited on the metal surfaces of the electrodes. This has an insulat-
ing effect. In order to maintain optimum conductivity, these surfaces should be regularly
cleaned and polished.

9.1.7 Vacuum cables

Clean the vacuum cable with a damp cloth. Use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive house-
hold cleaning agent. Do not use an alcohol solution. Check the cable regularly for damages
and/or bad electrical contact. We advise, keeping a spare vacuum cable in stock.

66
Rehab-Series

9.1.8 Cleaning Vaginal/Rectal probes

Carefully clean the probe after use.Wash the probe gently in mild soapy water,rinse and
make sure the probe is completely dry before returning to storage in the plastic bag.

9.1.9 Cleaning the water reservoir and hoses

‡ Detach the vacuum cups from the vacuum cables.


‡ Place a container filled with a cleaning liquid below the system.
‡ Place the peripheral ends of the cables in the container.
‡ Go to System Settings and select Tank Cleaning.
‡ The water reservoir will be filled with the cleaning liquid until the water reservoir is full.

10.2 Stimulator output parameters

10.2.1 IFC-4P IFC(Interferential) Traditional (4 Pole)

Interferential Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current is distributed through of two


channels (four electrodes). The currents cross each other in the body at the area requiring
treatment. The two currents interfere with each other at this crossing point, resulting in a
modulation of the intensity (the current intensity increases and decreases at a regular
frequency).

10.2.3 Biphasic TENS

The Asymmetrical Biphasic and the Symmetrical Biphasic waveform are often used in TENS
(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) applications. The TENS has a short pulse
duration. It is capable of strong stimulation of the nerve fibers in the skin as well as of muscle
tissue. Because of its short pulse, the patient typically tolerates the current well, even at rela-
tively high intensities. The Alternating Rectangular waveform is an interrupted biphasic
current with a rectangular pulse shape. This waveform is commonly used as a pain manage-
ment application.

and FM radio and TV broadcasting. To determine the electromagnetic environment in rela-
tion to the fixed transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location where the REHAB SERIES device is to be used exceeds
the above compliance levels, the REHAB SERIES device should be monitored in order to
ensure that it is functioning as intended. If unusual features are noticed, additional measures
may be necessary such as re-orienting or relocating the REHAB SERIES device.
Above the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz the field strength should be less than
3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF telecommunications


4- series and the REHAB SERIES device

The REHAB SERIES device is intended for operation in an electromagnetic environment


where RF disturbances are monitored. The customer or user of the REHAB SERIES device can
help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between por-
table and mobile RF telecommunications 4- series (transmitters) and the REHAB SERIES
device – according to the output power of the communications device, as indicated below.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output which is not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in meters (m) can be determined using the equation applicable to
the respective column, whereby P is the maximum rated output of the transmitter in Watts (W)
according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the higher frequency range is applicable.
