Beat High
- During a sweep, the Beat High setting is the highest number to which the beat frequency increases. The available range for
the Beat High parameter is 2 to 200 Hz. This parameter is unique to the 2 Pole and 4 Pole IFC waveforms.
Beat Low
- During a sweep, the Beat Low setting is the lowest number to which the beat frequency decreases. The available range for the
Beat Low parameter is 1 to 199 Hz. This parameter is unique to the 2 Pole and 4 Pole IFC waveforms.
Burst
- A burst is a series of pulses at a predetermined pulse frequency.
Burst Frequency (Freq .)
- This is the number of bursts per second (bps). The available burst frequencies on the Intelect Mobile Stim are 1
to 10 bps.
Carrier Frequency (Freq .)
- Associated with the Interferential and Russian waveforms, Carrier Frequency is the frequency of the
un-modulated medium frequency current. The available carrier frequencies are 2000, 2500, 4000, 5000, and 10000 Hz.
CC/Cv
- This is the abbreviation for Constant Current/Constant Voltage. Constant current is a stimulator capable of delivering an electric
current that flows at the same amplitude regardless of changes in tissue impedance over time. Constant voltage is a stimulator capable of
delivering a source of voltage at the same amplitude regardless of changes in tissue impedance over time. Most modern electrotherapy
units are of the constant current type because they provide a consistent, or stable level of current amplitude throughout the therapy
session, thus making it comfortable for the patient and predictable for the clinician. Keep in mind that the amount of stimulation is directly
proportional to the current.
Channel Mode
- The available channel modes are Single Channel (in which electrotherapy is distributed from one channel), Reciprocal
(where electrotherapy alternates between channels), and Co-Contract (where electrotherapy is distributed from both channels at the same
time).
Cycle Time
- Cycle Time is the alternating time which the current is "on" and "off." Using the 10/30 setting as an example, the current is on
for 10 seconds and off for 30. The available cycle times are Continuous, 5/5, 4/12, 10/10, 10/20, 10/30, and 10/50.
Display
- Available only on the High Volt waveform, the Display feature allows you to change the displayed Intensity parameter from Volts
to Peak Current (Amps).
