OVERVIEW

Waveforms

- Waveforms are current or voltage that is varied by time and are the geometrical descriptions of a DC, AC, or pulsed DC/AC

current. Current waveforms are described as either monophasic or biphasic. A biphasic wave is further described as either symmetrical
or asymmetrical and as balanced or unbalanced. For more specifications and types of waveforms available on the Intelect Transport 2-
Channel Electrotherapy unit, refer to the section entitled
