Duty Cycle
- This is the ratio of the “On” time to “Total” time of the cycle, expressed as a percentage. The duty cycle describes the pulsed
modes of electric stimulation. The lower the percentage, the lower temporal average intensity. 100% is continuous electrotherapy. The
available Duty Cycles are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50%.
Frequency
- Frequency is the number of times per second a pulse, cycle, burst, or beat will repeat itself. The unit is selectable from 0-200
Hz (beat), 20-100 Hz (burst), and 2000-10000 Hz (carrier).
Frequency Modulation (Freq . Mod .)
- This is the rhythm at which a frequency changes. The available frequency modulations are 0 to
250 Hz in increments of 5 Hz.
Intensity
- Intensity is the output of electrotherapy distributed by the unit to the patient. Depending on the waveform, intensity is
measured in milliamps (mA), volts (V), and micro amps (µa).
Leadwires
- The leadwires consist of the main plugs that are connected to the unit, and 4 leads (2 black and 2 red) that connect to
electrodes.
Medium Frequency Current
- These are the currents used by the Traditional Interferential (IFC 4-Pole), Interferential Premodulated, and
Russian waveforms that is higher than 1000 Hz, but lower than 10000 Hz.
Operating Channels
- Operating Channels are the paths by which the electrotherapy is distributed from the unit to the patient. The unit
provides two channels of electrical stimulation.
Phase Duration
- This is the time in which the current flows in one direction only. Phase duration is the determined period of time
elapsing from the beginning to the end of one phase, usually expressed in microseconds (µsec) or milliseconds (ms).
Phase Interval
- Available only with the Monophasic waveforms, it is the brief interruption of current flow between the individual phases
of a pulse. The available phase intervals are 5 to 5000 ms in increments of 5 ms.
Polarity
- Polarity refers to the charge of an individual lead: positive or negative.
Polarity reversal
- This is a feature available on the unit in which the polarity changes at a determined time.
Pulsed Mode
– This is an available mode on the unit in which electrotherapy is distributed intermittently.
