3.3 MRW (Modulated Rate and Width) Mode:
The pulse rate and width are automatically varied in a cycle to produce a pleasant,
massage-like sensation. It's believed that nerves can become accustomed to, or
"accommodated" to the same electrical stimulus after a period of time and thus
would require increasing the intensity to further block the pain. The Modulation
mode offers different electrical stimulation, thus preventing nerve accommodation
so less intensity is required for long and effective treatment.
In this mode, during the beginning of 0.5 sec. period, the WIDTH is decreased to
50% of its original setting, and during the next 0.5 sec. period, the RATE is
decreased to 50% of its original setting. Therefore, the total cycle time is 1 second.
The Stimulation Mode button is located under the front lid cover and is
adjusted by pressing the "MODE" control button.
Be sure that when adjusting these stimulation modes, the intensity (amplitude)
output controls are set to the minimum output positions.
3.1 BURST Mode:
The burst mode provides a "burst" of seven pulses. There are two bursts that
are delivered per second. Positive pulse and negative pulse are delivered
continuously at fixed 100 Hz. Pulse width are adjustable from 50~300µs.
3.2 NORMAL Mode:
The Normal mode produces a continuous train of impulses. The stimulation parameters are not automatically
interrupted nor varied in any way. In this mode, the pulse rate ( from 2 to 150Hz)
and pulse width ( from 50 to 300µs) are fully adjustable. The normal mode is quite
versatile because it may be applied with a variety of rate and width settings.
